Kelly's Visit and Contractions!

January 11, 2015

40 Weeks, 4 Days

Kelly came to visit this weekend!

She was hoping to see Crits, but he has been staying put- until now! Started having contractions this morning- woke up at 3:00AM because of them! We were supposed to go to brunch, but looks like we will wait around and have bagels instead.

We had some excitement this afternoon. Tom's tire blew out on our way to the airport. It was really scary because we had to cross several lanes of traffic. We were worried too that we'd have to get Kelly an uber from a crack den by the side of the road. Luckily, AAA saved the day! They can by and fixed it in less than a half hour! We got Kelly to the airport and went to a Walmart in College Park to get a new tire. Tom kept saying Crits was going to be a Walmart baby through a series of unfortunate events. Ha!

Love,

B

Crits is staying put- he's enjoying himself!  It is super cold out here, so we are just hunkering down while we all wait for his arrival! Our next appointment is on Monday!

Much love,

39 Weeks

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! We've had such a wonderful year! Tom and I did a "year in review" last night, and we just could not believe how much has happened this past year.  Feeling so lucky to have wonderful family and friends in our lives. And we are getting close! 39 weeks today, so this could be our last bump shot (or we could get two more)!

I'm wearing this shirt out in a moment - I told Tom to let me know if my shirt rides up. Ha!

This cracks me up - so happy we took all these photos!

Merry Christmas, everyone!  We have had such a fun week.

First, got this great pic from Lis and Burt!

Tom made a lamb rack.

It came out delicious!

And we are getting close! Not sure who will get closest to our due date.

But getting big! Love my new Christmas pajama pants - thank you, Jeanne and Lee!

Woo! Getting close to the big day- whenever that may be! School is out- so I am just wrapping up projects and laying low! We are having dinner with Kimie tonight!

Managing to get bigger every week!

Happy holidays!!

It's been a super exciting week! We had my lab over for dinner (a la Pollo Tropical style) - great success all around. We should have taken a picture! Critter just keeps getting bigger - I started getting sciatica - which makes it hard to walk or stand. I think I am on the mend - fingers crossed!

Look at this amazing birdhouse from Tom's grandmother! It even has our address!

Plus a picture of Ender! It's too pretty to put outside! We are keeping it on display in our dining room.

You wouldn't believe it - I had to stay home because of the sciatica, so I missed my surprise baby shower at work. Boo! How nice is that of my work colleagues? Look at this amazing ducky cake - it even has crystals on the lake to give it a glow!

Woo! Getting closer! BabyCenter says 22 days. Who knows!

Got an awesome soda stream from Lis! Thank you!!!  We are trying all the flavors.

And sheesh! They posted this tragic picture of me on our home page. Poor critter, his first professional appearance, and I look like I'm going to a funeral!

But, Crits will be here soon! We can't wait!!!!!!!!!  Tom requested a save the date face this week!
