We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! and a Happy New Year!
They got ornaments to put on the christmas tree, but unfortunately we didn't get one this year so we hung them up on the wall.
Josh read the story Santa and the Christ Child to carry on his Dad's tradition, and my Dad read the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. And while he was reading Grandma Jeannie had the kids dress up and do the nativity scene.
The sisters came to celebrate with us also

I am 37 weeks and had my weekly doc appointment! Baby sounds great and according to the ultrasound she weighs about 5 1/2 pounds! She had a huge growth spurt the past week! I am doing well, I am tired as anyone woman would be! I have stretched to my limit! I am so itchy it's making me crazy! I am dilated more than 1cm but not quite 2cm. I am not effaced at all. But that will soon change! We are hoping to have her after Christmas but my doctor still predicts she'll come January 3rd. We are just waiting for her now! I am ready for her to come! We all want to meet her! That's all for now!!
A week ago i went into the hospital because i was having contractions stronger than i have been having them and i was spotting a lot to where i had to wear something, and after spending all day there, it just happened to be false labor caused by an infection again... yay... so i was put on an antibioltic. They checked me and i was not dilated at all. then I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and the doc checked me. I am dilated to a 1 but i am not effaced yet but i am soft, so it's just a matter of time! We are now in the waiting game! TessLea had shifted face up, but we are hoping she will turn on her own. I had to get an ultrasound to check her weight to make sure if i do go into labor she weighs enough to be healthy and i won't have to worry about her. The doc said she would be surprised if i go into labor within a week, and she hopes i don't go into labor the week after chrsitmas because she will be out of town (of course that's when i was hoping to have her, but its ok), but she does predict i will go January 3rd, so hopefully she didn't jinx me! I will be a very happy mommy if she comes at least a week early! That is all the info i have on the appointment yesterday.
Today i had the ultrasound! and Here are pictures that i got! TessLea has shifted to her side, so we got some adorable pictures of her sweet face! The first 3 pictures are the actual pictures, the last 3 i added descriptions of what everything is to help you see better! We are so excited for her to get here we can hardly stand it!
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as i do!! I have my next appointment next wednesday before christmas, i will update again soon!Here are some pictures of my Baby Shower my Best friend Stephanie and Mom did for me! Everything turned out so adorable!
