Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas!

7 Months (30 weeks) Christmas Weekend

Mike & Britt Christmas 2010

A few Projects

I have really enjoyed crocheting more as my activity level has remained a bit lower since becoming pregnant. I have been cleared to do everything for a while, but I am starting to get more tired again as the 3rd trimester progresses.

Morgan's hat

Red Scarf for me

Jackson's coming home outfit

Such a fun hobby to have! I am thankful to be keeping my hands busy during the weekends. I have many more projects that I have done, but those will have to be posted after Christmas!

Third Trimester

I know that all I post about these days are the baby and my belly, but I can't seem to think of much else that is so important. I would post more crochet projects, but they are all gifts at this point!

THIRD TRIMESTER

That means only 13 weeks left, eek!

A few stats for our records:
* baby has just started to kick me in the ribs (last 2 days)
* breathing is getting more difficult
* mama's weight gain 12-13lbs
* baby should be about 2lbs this week
* belly from pelvic bone to top of uterus is about 12 inches
* Mike is off to California for the week- it is hard to be alone!

Watching Morgan

Last night, we took Morgan for the evening while Matt & Lori went out for their companies Holiday Party. It was a learning experience, but we had a lot of fun.

Some things I learned:
* Swaddling is great
* Libby is going to be very jealous of Jackson
* Babies eat and spit up a lot!
* and..........

*Mike is so good with babies! She fell asleep in his arms right away. I think he has a very calm way about him that settled her down - so good!

I am so thankful he is my partner when Jackson comes... I think I will re-name Mike the baby-whisperer.

Funny Mike quote from the night: "I didn't realize you hog-tie babies when you put them to sleep" (In reference to swaddling).
