Ready to go Strollin' with baby sister!

How exciting! Our double stroller arrived today. Graham immediately told us he would ride in it with "baby sister". He decided he wanted the right side:)

Baby Sister's room.....

Ok, she can come now. The room is pretty much done. 7 weeks....

Friends!

Three years of babies...Jack (3), Graham (2), Ellie (1). We had a fun lunch and playdate with the kiddos!

Reliving the moment!

Graham's new favorite past time...watching himself on tv. This was Christmas morning when he first saw his train table. He gets excited everytime he watches it.

Santa brought a train table!

Update

Quick update, the test was negative, baby should stay put for a while! Yay!

32 week update for Baby Girl

I thought since baby girl and I were up at 5:30 in the morning, I would update you as to how her growth is coming along. The past few nights I haven't slept from 4-6 am. She must be getting me ready for feedings at this time! I slept like a log with my last pregnancy, so this is not fun! I would like to enjoy my final few weeks of sleep. Oh well. Ok, here is the update. Baby girl measured much more normal this time, 31 weeks. Graham always measured a week behind, so I bet she is close to his size. I have been having a lot of pelvic pressure lately, so my OB decided to perform a simple test that indicates whether preterm labor is imminent within a few weeks. I should get the results tomorrow. She did say my cervix was "pretty short already". So that means things are starting along. Hopefully not too fast though. I am pretty sure the results of the test will be negative, and baby girl will remain in her little oven a while longer! All for now. I am going to try to get one more hour of sleep before really starting this day!

Oranges on eyes?

Zoo Lights!

Sitting with Santa...as close as we could get::)

We tried! For the second year in a row Santa was just not a hit. Last year we at least got a screaming picture on Santa's knee..this year Graham was too strong and clinged to Pat like a monkey...so this is the best we could do. In his defense, before we left, Graham did want to say Bye Bye to Santa from the side, and he did tell him he wanted to "play golf for Xmas". So at least he got his message across.

Watching the kids before him go see Santa...very cautiously.

Not letting go of Pat..

This is as close as we got to Santa...who was very nice by the way.

Aftermath

Graham did willingly take a candy cane from Santa, and remembered to say "thank you" through his tears..

Moments later, we did crafts and ate cookies, yum!

It snowed today!

Master of the Forward Roll!

Toddler Theatre Today!

What a fun morning today! We went to the last Toddler Theatre of the year, and the special guest was a life size Curious George. Graham brought his George in honor of the big guest. He was so excited!

Christmas Table!

Picking our Tree!

Looking for the perfect tree...

Graham kept running down the small hill and falling, and thought it was hilarious...

Reindeer!

No, the reindeer can't come home with us.........

Graham wanted to touch the tree..

Our hunt is over!
