Ultrasound of Baby # 3

Last week we went in for our Ultrasound of Baby #3, everything looks healthy, the heart, and kidneys look good. Measurements of the baby are on the large side, weighing in at 20 oz, normal baby at this time is about 11-12 oz, so hopefully baby will be early like Ellie and Sydney. Ellie and Sydney came with us to the ultrasound and thought it was neat to see the baby yawn and a few times he/she covering his/her eyes with its hands. We did not find out the sex of the baby, however I think Dad was hoping to see something he wasn't supposed to. The ultrasound tech said she had a very good idea of boy/girl but teased we will see soon enough. We are otherwise doing very well and anxiously waiting the arrival.

A very Merry Christmas 2008

The girls had a wonderful Christmas this year, with family parties and lots of presents. Santa was very good to the girls. He must not have been watching when they were naughty!

Ellie's Preschool Christmas program

Ellie's Preschool Christmas program was on Friday and she did good job singing her songs! After the children sang Christmas songs Santa surprised the children with a visit, each of the children had a chance to tell him what they want one last time before he packs his sleigh. He also surprised them with a present. After the program Santa was kind enough to stay for some family pictures. Santa made sure to ask if Great Grandma was good this year!!!! Ellie was happy to get a picture with Mrs. Collison, who she loves.

Story time with Mrs. Claus

Today at Story time Mrs. Claus came to visit with the children. She read them Christmas books and sang Christmas songs with them. Mrs. Claus also took notes of what the children want from Santa, just in case he forgets.

Sunday School Pageant

Ellie had her first Sunday school Christmas pageant on December 14th and it was very cute. All the children did very well. The pre-K and K were God's little sheep. Ellie worked very hard on knowing her songs, Saturday night before the pageant I went in to check on Ellie after she had gone to sleep and I pulled the blankets up on her and she started singing "Away in a Manager" in her sleep, too cute!!!!!!!!! She loves singing and can't wait for her preschool Christmas program. And Sydney was very well behaved, providing we were in Church for 3 hours that morning.

Can't wait for Santa

Ellie and Sydney had lots of fun at "Breakfast with Santa"! We had Yummy pancakes and sausages and were able to spend time with Santa. And look at our cute T-shirts!

Ready for Santa

The tree is all decorated and the stockings were hung with care, Ellie and Sydney both hope that St. Nicholas will soon be here!

Baby #3

Had our 2nd baby appointment and everything is going well, measuring on target and the baby's heartbeat is 159 - which could mean another girl?!?!?! We'll see soon enough.
