38 Weeks

I had my last OB appointment today. Measuring at 38 weeks and heartbeat in the 140's. My blood pressure is good and everything is still set for next Monday to have my c-section. I plan on writing our a blog as to how I feel and my emotions etc. I hope I actually do it because I think it will be good to look back on one day.

Christmas Dance Mini Recital 2013

At Payton's dance class this past Wednesday we got to go in the last 15 minutes of class and watch them dance to some Christmas songs. They were all so cute. The girls did so good! Parker's class is the same time as Grace's so both classes danced and we got to watch both!

I have a video I will post, but trying to get it rotated the right direction before I post it!

Christmas Crafts

All month long Payton has been doing her Christmas crafts like she does every year. I haven't really taken pictures of her doing them. So today I decided to take a few. We still have more to do over the next week, but she's already done so much I wanted to make sure I got them posted.

(The last picture is her Thanksgiving crafts that she did last month. We still have them hanging up).

She put Daddy, Mommy, Payton, and Paisley all on a train for us. 

Where Charlie the Elf Has Been (Part One)

I have been taking a picture each night of where Charlie the elf on the shelf goes. I was going to wait until after Christmas to post all pictures, but I figured since there will be so many then I would split it into two posts.Payton has really enjoyed him this year. To hear her laugh at the things he did was priceless.

Part 1 – will post the rest after Christmas

Day 1 – brought her Elf Pjs

Day 2 – brought her little Elf figurines

Day 3 – Just hanging out in the tree

 

Day 4 – Got the m&m’s out and spelled her name.

Day 5 – Set out the Christmas cookies

Day 6 -  Hanging out under the tree in the train

 

Day 7 – Taking a ride on Bullseye

Day 8 -  Hanging out on the microwave

Day 9 – Holding on to the Snowman

Day 10 -  taking a bath in marshmallows; I only had pastel colored ones :)

Day 11 – Charlie brought a big floor puzzle

Day 12 – hanging out on the curtain rod

Day 13 – taking a drive with Snow White

 

Stay tuned for the rest after Christmas Eve!!

36 Weeks and 3 Days

Today I had my 36 week appointment. I got to have a sono today to check my placenta one last time. And it is still very low. But, my Dr. is still not too worried since we are having a c-section. If I wasn't already having a c-section then I would have to have one for sure.

 She had her legs pulled down to her face. And I saw a good profile picture. But, for some reason she didn't print it. From what I could see she favored Payton's profile. I guess we shall see!! I can hardly believe I will have a newborn in two and half weeks. I am ready, but it still is surreal.

Paisley’s Nursery Complete

I forgot that I hadn’t posted pictures of Paisley’s nursery completed. I am happy with the way it turned out!  I love all the colors! Just need her to make it really complete!! :)

All the furniture was Payton’s when she was a baby. We just bought new bedding and stuff.

   

Her growing chair.

My favorite verse for Paisley. Payton’s painting for Paisley. & picture of mommy and daddy holding sono of Paisley.

Daddy’s and Their Girls in the Ice 2013

Yesterday was the first day we ventured out. And by venturing out I mean we went to my sisters house a few miles down the road. She had to work and Geoff text me Saturday night and asked if we wanted to come and let the dad’s take the girls to slide down a hill on the ice. So I stayed at their house with Nolan and the boys took the girls to the school and let them go down an ice hill.

(and I have to give my husband credit. He actually took almost all of these pictures. I asked him to take pictures and I figure he would A. Forget or B. not get that many. So, I was wrong! :)

         

Of course the big boys had to do it too!
