TOOTH FAIRY!

Well, after about a year of waiting and hoping, Claire finally lost her first tooth! The girls have been anxiously awaiting a loose tooth, and finally on Christmas Eve, Claire saw that her tooth was really loose this time! She pulled it herself Sunday morning! Maddy will be next we hope!

Christmas!

Santa was very sincere this year and came one day early for the girls since Claire was unable to be with us on Christmas morning! So Christmas Eve morning, the girls woke up to this! They had a blast! Unfortunately the pics of them did not come out good because the camera must have been on the wrong setting. But at least we got the video on them opening their gifts. We both can not believe that next year we will have another child in the house for Christmas! We are so blessed!

Stay tuned for pics and info on our 3D Ultrasound on Friday! I will post my 28 week picture and the pics from the ultrasound for all to see! THREE MONTHS TO GO!

Winston

I just had to show a picture of Winston. He just made 1 yr old last month and look how big he has gotten! We got him 1 year ago this week!

Doctors Appt and Santa Visit

I had a doctor's appointment today. I am right at 26 weeks, which is about 6.5 months. Everything is looking great and we are getting excited as we approach our third trimester! Getting Close!

Below are some pictures from Santa at my mom's house. It was so much fun! Thank God for people like my mom....she is so giving and loving to her family and friends. Everyone truly enjoyed the party!

I have more pics and will probably upload them to Photobucket once I get them. (hopefully today!)

Furniture

We ordered our Baby Furniture this weekend! It is so beautiful and I can not wait to set up her room! I picked out her bedding , and the theme of her room will be Ladybugs. Precious!

Thanks to my mom for buying the baby a peice of the furniture set! We appreciate everything you do for us! We love you!

24 weeks/6 months

Here is my pic for 6 months! We were going to a party and I was dressed up, so I switched up my pics a little. Here is what is going on this week: Bring on the bulk! Baby gains about 6 ounces this week. The weight is in muscle, bone mass and organs. His body begins to fill out with his appearance increasingly becoming more like a newborn. Taste buds begin to form. If mom drinks something strange or bitter, baby may be observed showing his distaste. Little creases have appeared on his palms. The muscular coordination of his hands has improved as he sucks his thumb. Over the next seven days the sweat glands will be forming in the skin. His lungs are eloping "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily. This week your baby is officially considered viable. Baby weighs 1.3 pound (600gm) and is 11.8 inches (30cm) long -- almost the length of a ruler!
