Merry Christmas Baby!

Dear baby,

Yesterday was Christmas. We visited lots of family! We also drove through some crazy snow storms! Dad did a good job getting us through all the snow! Driving in the snow is not too difficult, if you have a decent vehicle, but people can be crazy out there. There will come a day when I will be worried about you driving out in that snow! I'm sure that day will come much too soon. Just remember to be patient when trying to get through the weather. I'm sure dad will teach you how to drive in it...and he will most likly teach you how to "play" in it.

You got quite a few things for Christmas. You got your first beany baby, a couple bibs, some shoes and booties, socks, pants and a bunch of onsies. Aunt Kelly got you a stuffed monkey that is cute also. You will be quite spoiled. I loved opening your gifts and it made me so excited to have you here for next Christmas! Here are a few picturs.

Here are some cute shoes from Grandma. I love them.

This is your dad and I on Christmas.

I took a picture of you in the morning of Christmas.

Love you,

Mom

Week 27

Dear Baby,

About 90 days to go! We are at week 27. It really is flying by, even though I am definitely ready to have you here! You are getting big and strong and I can definitely tell a difference in my body and my belly getting bigger.

You no longer like me laying all the way on my side. It is painful on my stomach and you seem to "fall" as gravity pulls you down to the side. This is somewhat painful. But I will deal.

You are about 15 inches long and 2 pounds right now. Seems so big! Your eyes are developing and are starting to open them this week. You should have some hair on your head (as long as you don't take after me) and your brain is developing quickly. So many wonderful changes!!

It is almost Christmas. I love Christmas. I love to spend time with family and visit everyone we don't see often enough. I bought you a cute gift and I know a bunch of other people did too. Very nice of them. You are going to be spoiled!

Love You!!
Mom

Alarm Clock

Dear Baby,

You have already started being my own personal alarm clock. Dad leaves at about 5:45 each morning and for some reason, after he leaves you decide to wake mom up. Every day this week you have started kicking at 5:45 and I don't mean small soft kicks. It feels like you are trying to kick your way out of there. Of course I giggle and think it's silly. Then I lay there for an hour and usually turn on the TV because there is absolutely no way I can sleep when you are crazy like that. I love feeling you and will take getting up at 5:45 if I have to, but if you feel you could wait an extra hour, that would be fabulous for me.

Love You,

Mom

Pictures of your nursery

Dear Baby,

So I know I said your nursery was finished last time, but now it is even more finished. I just need to figure out a good name for you and put it on the wall, then get our rocking chair, which I figure we will be spending lots of quality time on. I ordered one that was really comfortable. I think we will love it. Here is your room!

Love, Mom
