Baby Fever!~

This week has made me have the worst baby fever ever!!! My best friend Jacci had her little girl on December 17th. Joslyn Michelle arrived in this world…7lbs 4oz and 20 inches long! I was lucky enough to be able to go to the hospital to meet her when she was only 24hrs old!!! I held her and was ready to take her home with me. What a bundle of joy!! Jordan (Jacci’s son) was so excited to show her off to me…he was full of kisses for her. She is so lucky to have a great big brother! I am so happy for Jacci and Jake and it is amazing that our babies will be 4 months apart! I hope they grow up to be the best of friends, just like Jacci and I.





Christmas is almost here!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!! I love this time of year~ family, friends and food and oh yea presents too!! :) We are always pretty busy this time of year! We got our tree up and stockings too!! (mine already has something in it….I just cant look yet) We both are working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and ½ a day on Thursday, we will both come home from work, pack the car and Bob too- then hit the road. We go to Pat’s parents house Christmas Eve and spend time with the whole family. This year is the WHOLE family! So, we get to see everyone. Then Christmas morning, we get up head back to Eau Claire then go to my parent’s house for the rest of the day. My Aunt and Uncle from New Mexico will be here this year, so I am really excited to see them! We have not seen them since the wedding! It will be a great Christmas with family! I can not wait!!!

I have been feeling really well! I am not sleeping the best, but I still feel good :)

Hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! I will post again next year! Hehe.

Oh Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was the big day that I have been waiting 19 weeks and 1 day for :) ULTRASOUND DAY!!!!!

It was AMAZING! Our little person was moving around like crazy. It (no we did not find out!!) had it’s little hands by the face, so the face shots were hard to get. Pat, my mom, Betsy and Abby all came to the appointment. They were all also amazed at what you can actually see. We got to see the heart with all 4 chambers, (heartbeat was 153) the kidneys, the liver, the brain and what ever other organs we have!! When the technician had to look at the pelvic area, she made everyone close their eyes…I kept mine open and still did not know what I was looking at…she was so fast!~ It is amazing that they have the “regular” and now the 3D- there is nothing like it!! Here are a couple pics! The 1st one is my favorite. The profile! The 2nd one is a 3D shot, you can see baby Sax’s little arm and leg! The 3rd one is it's best side...BUTT SHOT!!:)







After the ultrasound, I had my appointment with the MD. She said everything in the ultrasound looks great and everything seems to be “normal and average” So that is a good sign! She pressed on my belly a little bit and said everything is good! She talked about pre-term labor….let’s hope I don’t have to worry about that!!!

All else is well here. Pat’s parents were over last weekend and finished the kitchen! I now have my hand painted torn wall paper up and it looks awesome!! After Pat gets the trim up and the cupboard stained…….then the NURSERY will be next!! YAY!! I can’t wait to get started on that!! It will be great!(few pics below of the kitchen)





Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! I made sure to eat and eat…then get up at 4am Friday morning to shop and shop!!! Just my style! We shopped for a good 9 hrs and I loved it! Came home, relaxed and spent quality time with the in laws!! It was a really nice weekend!
