It Feels Surreal...

Here I am at 26 weeks....approximately. Can you believe it? 14 weeks left!
On Christmas Eve, Granmama and Poppa got me 2 pairs of Mom & Tot socks....how cute!!! A pair for me and a pair for Sailer....I LOVED IT!!! Can't wait to see her little feet! :)
The Most Precious Gift....a gorgeous whisper pink dress for our Sailer....given to me by my mother and father-n-law. What a surprise! Along with this precious dress was a pink pearl bracelet with Australian crystals, a dainty burp cloth & bib, a blanket, and the softest baby pink giraffe to lay beside her sweet face...I already have it pictured. It really got me....it was a VERY emotional moment to say the least. How I've waited for this moment for SO long, and still, it feels surreal.

25 Weeks...and Counting!

I know...I am behind on posting....this Christmas season has been CRAZY with our family. So, now, it's 3 days before Christmas, and I am finally getting some time to give an update. And, sorry, no pictures just yet. I'm sure I'll get plenty with my family this week, so I'll post a belly pic then! :)
I am feeling pretty good....just getting a little tired and weary...not sure if it's this busy season or the pregnancy, but I am tired. I've been going to bed late and getting up early. Plus, we've had birthdays to celebrate, Christmas parties & events, and Noah's school has kept me busy the last couple of weeks. No wonder I'm tired!
Anyway, I recently had my 24 week doctor appt., and Sailer is measuring perfectly, although I am still very small for this stage. My belly is still not really in my way, which is hard to believe, but....hey! Who's complaining about that??? My due date is remaining the same for now....April 5th, so we're just truckin' right along. Noah and I have been talking more and more about "sissy," and he thinks that she is also in his belly.
Meanwhile, I have been nesting like Crazy for over a month...washing my fine china, cleaning out & organizing my closet, organizing my jewelry cabinet, and cleaning out Sailer's room as we prepare to start painting. I have ALWAYS got a project in the works....did I already mention that I'm tired?? He, He.
Anyway, my next step is my glucose test, which will be performed next week, so please keep our family in your prayers.....also, pray that I can slow down a bit....half the time, I don't even act as if I'm pregnant.
I hope you all enjoy this wonderful holiday season and that you are all safe! Thank you all for your sweet emails and BEAUTIFUL Christmas cards...I've enjoyed receiving those so much! :) Love You All!!!

Baby Love...at Christmas Time!!!

Last night, Jason and I went to our LifeGroup Christmas Party, and it was wonderful....we had the pleasure of meeting our two newest members of the group...baby Lindsey and baby Luke! They are both roughly 2 weeks old, and of course, I was all over little Lindsey. It felt so good to hold her! I was imagining holding Sailer and looking at her precious little face.....Now that Lindsey and Luke have arrived, there are 4 babies on the way! Whew! Something is in the water in our class, don't you think?
My 1st Banana Pudding....we only brought a little bit home..it turned out really yummy! :)
Isn't this tree the most adorable and precious tree ever? Our hosts for the party have 2 girls...Eleanor and Clare. This tree was in Clare's room...she is almost 2 years old. I instantly loved it! It is sitting on her dresser and it illuminates her entire room. Clare's mom, Meghan, did an extraordinary job decorating both girls rooms, so I was inspired all night. It was so good to be with all of the amazing women in our class...of course, all we did was talk about our children!
