Happy Holidays to You!

Christmas was great this year! We had fun celebrating our first Christmas with Becca, we ate lots and lots of yummy food, took plenty of naps, and “Santa” spoiled both of us absolutely rotten. Even though this year was lots of fun, we are greatly anticipating Christmas 2010 as it will be 100 times better having a baby to celebrate with! =)

As if becoming parents here soon didn’t make us feel all big and in the grown up world enough as it is, we constructed our wills and received them officially in the mail yesterday. Some life decisions are hard to make, but we made it through and got things in order (hopefully) – 9 pages later! It’s crazy to see your “death” right in front of your face……

Doctor appointments have still been going great! Nothing new to report. Noah’s heartbeat has stayed within normal range, Jen’s weight has pretty much stayed the same, and no increases in dilation have been made. Here’s hoping for a 2010 baby!

Jen started her maternity leave yesterday. She’s been trying to relax as much as she can, (like playing the new Super Mario Bros for the Wii) but there always seems to be something that needs to be done around the house. She IS taking time out though to pamper herself this week and get things done to look decent while in the hospital. Today was haircut and pedicure day, and boy did THAT help her to feel better!

Here will be the last of the belly pics – until we have another baby, of course. ;)

Pregnant Jen and her "pregnant" brother - yes, that's his real belly (crazy!).

Pregnant Jen and her "pregnant" husband - he must not be as far along as Brian. ;)

Pregnant Jen and her pregnant friend Erynn! Noah's gonna have a cousin in July! =)

Growing Noah both inside and soon-to-be outside with Chick-Fil-A. =)

We’re SO excited for Noah to come!!! As you can see, only 3 more days to go – or more!!! =)

Still Chillin' In There

38 weeks today!

Actually, as of last week (week 37), Jen was considered full term and could have Noah at any time and he'd be OK - but, the doctor visits seem to indicate that Jen is nowhere near delivering. Whew! Let’s hope the doctor says that next week too. Maybe our prayers of delivering late will be answered!? =)

14 more days to go. Excited? Definitely. Ready? Hope so! Nervous? Absolutely.

Grandma’s Don’t Know Everything……

(By Jen)

I got this hilarious email from my Mom and I just HAD to pass it along. Maybe she’s trying to tell me that something like this is bound to happen at some point or another on the days she watches Noah???? Great….. =)

This is for all you Grandmothers - or Grandmothers in the making!! Learn well - you too will be tested!! Grandma’s don’t know everything…….

Little Tony was 7 years old and was staying with his grandmother for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her: “Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?” She was a little taken aback, but she decided to tell him the truth. “It's called sex, darling.” Little Tony said, “Oh, OK,” and went back outside to play with the other kids. A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, “Grandma, it isn't called sex.

It's called Bunk Beds.

And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you.”
