9 Weeks and Christmas

Well, time is rolling right along and the Holidays were filled with a lot of fun and excitement.  We told each of our family member about our new arrival through various Christmas gifts and everyone's reactions were great.  I have attached a few pictures of some peoples faces when they found out!  Everyone is very excited and of course has their own opinion about things. (which is to be expected.)  It feels great to be back home and to start to settle in after traveling for 5 days.

Grammy B looking at the ultra sound picture of her 3rd Great-Grandchild.  She needed a little help determining what the picture was of!

 Mom solved her puzzle first!  My mom, Gregg, Lauren, and Greggy were each given an ornament with letters in it.  They had to unscramble them to figure out the puzzle. 

 Mom was so excited she was dancing in her seat.

 Lauren working to unscramble her letters.  Her's spelled (You are going to be an Aunt.)

 Greggy working on his puzzle.

 Gram  (who found out the day before) was so excited when Sue, Ria, Ben, and KT finally figured out the secret.  Lauren and Greggy were both wearing pins that said Aunt to Be and Uncle to Be.  It took them at least 10 minutes to notice they were wearing them.  Everyone was very excited!

 Aunt Collette was just as excited to see the button that Greggy was wearing!


As far as the belly goes, my jeans are getting tighter when I sit down and I am more uncomfortable at night when I try to sleep.  My sickness has all but subsided (as long as I'm not in the car).  I usually start to feel tired and get a bit of an upset stomach around 7 at night, so I usually snack a little and put myself to bed.  Trying to take advantage of sleep while I can.  Knock on wood, but my bleeding as stopped for the last 4 days, so I hope the sub-chronic hemotoma has resolved and that we will have all good news the next time that we go to visit the doctor.   I ordered a fetal doppler to have a home, so we can hear the baby's heartbeat whenever we want.  I have a feeling that will calm some of my nerves in between doctor visits.  We are very excited, but sometimes I get overwhelmed with all there is to get ready before baby comes.  The upstairs in our house is going to take a full transformation to make room for baby.
