We took some family Christmas photo's the other day and I wanted to share with you all some of them. Now there is still Christmas cards on there way so look in your mail box's. Merry Christmas and we hope everyone has a wonderfully happy, love filled season!
I know already you say! 33 weeks? It's hard for me to believe it! I had my Dr.'s appointment on Thursday. I saw his nurse practitioner 'cuz he was out that day. I like her just as much as him. Actually I saw her at round the same time with Belle. What a coincident? She asked if baby is moving good? If I'm having any problems? And still all is well! She did say that at this time in my pregnancy I may start to experience bracstine-hicks contractions. If I have more then 5 in one hour I need to call or go to the hospital. But I'm not to worried. I didn't with Belle and I'm starting to "try" and take it easy. When she went to find the baby to get a heart beat with the Doppler it got all excited. She pushed on my stomach to see where it was at and when she put the monitor on, it's heart beat was a little crazy. It did come down to a normal line but it was funny! The kid does not like to be pushed or pocked! I am still measuring 3 weeks early! BUT I only gained 1 pound!!! YAYYY! I go back in two weeks again (Dec 23)!
I did take some belly photo's today. My best friend Melissa came over to take our family Christmas photo and we throw a few of them in there. I love the way they turned out. Blake WAS NOT into it so there is only one position he would do and he was done. But it's not about him anyways, right? Any who! I hope ya'll love the photo's as much as we do!
Boy oh boy! We got to meet Santa this weekend twice. Out at the Guard and at my works Kids Christmas Party. Saturday we headed to the guard to meet old Saint Nick. And to say Belle hated him would be an understatement! We tried to put her on his lap but she freaked so we tried Mrs. Clause and that was a no go too! She was freaking out! The kind where they don't breathe while crying! Ya it wasn't funny but I couldn't help but laugh! I guess everyone has that Santa picture! Then Sunday after church we went to my job for another party. They had a few bouncier set up, a station to color a pretty picture, face painting, you could decorate a sugar cookie (which I took full advantage of) and of course Santa. They did have a spin off of a cake walk. You walked around in a circle when the music stopped they would pull a name and whoever was on that picture won a prize. It was anything from a huge bag of candy to pom-pom's. We tried a dozen times and no luck! Annabelle did get to pick out a winner! Her and Morgan had a fun time jumping in the bouncer. Belle was a seasoned pro with it. She showed Morgan how to jump! We didn't force her to sit on Santa's lap. He had walked around and came over to see Belle and she jumped out of her set into Daddies arms and got a little scared. So hopefully next year she'll be better?!
Yesterday we all ventured out into the cold winter like weather to cut down our Christmas Tree. Blake and I had found this little family ran Christmas tree farm, the 'Ol Dairy Barn, a few years ago and love it. So we decided to go back this year to find our new tree. We were going to walk around but when we got out from around the buildings and the wind hit us I knew that Belle (and Mommy) were not going to make it. The owner said we could take our truck out during the week so it worked out perfectly. We drove all the way to the back and around to find out perfect tree. We got a pretty big one last year and we wanted to tame it down, just a little, this year. We were able to find this great tree that was a little shorter then what I think we really wanted but it's still chubby so it fit well. Belle I think had fun?! We bundled her up nice and tight so she stayed really warm. A couple of jackets, some gloves, and a hat did the trick! I love this time of year! (Minus the cold!) Now our house looks like Christmas, ordained with all the lights and trinkets! I hope everyone a Very Merry Christmas!
She loves her daddy! 
We found our tree!
