Home For The Holidays

Mike and I had a great time on Christmas Eve at my mom and dad's house. We were all there with the exception of Amanda and Jason and their kids who live in Grenada. They called us using Skype and we were able to say "Hi" and "Merry Christmas" and the kids got to see their cousins.

We had a great time decorating gingerbread houses... well, technically they were graham cracker houses lol. Mike built our house and we both decorated it.

All the kids had little houses to decorate too and as far as I can tell they had a fun time. My brother Ryan made a house and the only decorations were one gingerbread man hanging from the top of the house and another headless inside it... It was quite morbid but he thought it was hilarious. Needless to say we didn't show the kids that one lol.

After dinner we took turns opening gifts that we had gotten for eachother. We all had so much fun, especially the grandkids. They were so excited to open their gifts and start playing right away.

On Christmas day Mike and went to his parent's house for dinner and games. We had a delicious meal thanks to his mom. After dinner the boys played video games and Mike's mom Willey and I played a few games of Yahtzee (which I lost all of lol). To end the night we all watched Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger. All in all Mike and I had a great Christmas with family and can't wait til next year when we can share it all with Jaxson. Happy Holidays everyone!

3 Pounds!!!

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it was so nice to see Jaxson again. Our doctor said he's about 16 inches long and about 3 pounds! We were so glad to hear that he's growing strong and well. We're still looking at March 10th as my due date which seems sooo far away! We can't wait for him to finally be here in the flesh.

What about this one...?

I think I like this one a lot better... but this one costs about 130 dollars more than the other one. I think Mike will like this one a whole lot better too.

What do you think?

So I'm trying to think of how I want the nursery to look... Here's a picture of a pretty simple bedding set that I think I like. Picture the room with kind of dusty blue walls and tan carpet. Our crib is tan also. I'm thinking it might be too much blue... Tell me what you think...

Join the Crowd

Hey all I finally went with the crowd and created a Facebook page. If I haven't found you yet find me so we can be friends lol!

It's Been A While...

It's been a while since we posted but here's a small update. Mike and I have been having a great time getting the house ready for Christmas. We have most of our decorations up in the house but we're missing one thing... a tree! Mike and I have sort of spoiled our Christmas this year and have already opened and are using our presents and because of that we have put off getting a tree since there's nothing to put under it. Mike thought of a good idea for this year which is to get a smaller artificial tree for decoration and in future years we could use it as Jaxson's own Christmas tree for his bedroom. I loved the idea and so that is the plan. I'll post some pictures once we have the tree up and decorated.

Over the weekend Mike had another football game and I am happy to report he didn't get injured this time! He's still recovering from his knee injury from two weeks ago so thankfully he hasn't gone in the game full strength... that seems to be when he gets hurt. He loves football so much that the injuries don't really slow him down a whole lot.

Finally, Jaxson seems to be doing great. He's still very active and getting bigger (or at least I assume since my belly is getting bigger). I have a doctor's appointment at the end of the month and I hope we can get some good ultrasound pictures. If we do I'll be sure to post some of them.

Baby Update

I had a doctor's appointment on Monday and we got to see Jaxson again. The doctor said everything is going great and that Jaxson is about 1lb 12oz right now and very healthy. He speculated that we will have an average sized baby, about 7 or 8 pounds at birth, because he is showing average at every visit so far. You have no idea how glad I am to hear that! I was afraid of having a 10lb baby lol. We tried to get another 3d ultrasound picture of his face but Jaxson was hiding behind his legs. His feet were up over his head and his legs were up in front of his face. Talk about flexibility! It's getting hard to see him in the ultrasounds now. We usually just get glimpses of limbs. It will be nice once he's here and we can see the whole thing!
