Catching up...

Wow! Lots to share when you don't update in 1 1/2 weeks. Where should I start?

Christmas was great! Schuyler's Christmas can be described as "yellow". She received a new yellow coat, yellow flannel sheets, yellow leotard and yellow tutu. On Christmas morning, as she was opening Santa gifts she said "Santa remembered everything I wanted". Way to got Santa! I'm sure not every Christmas will be that way. I don't think there is a single present she doesn't like. Mackie was also a hoot. I wish I could upload her sounds she made when opening gifts. Lots of "ooooohs" and "aaahhs". Oh, and they both enjoyed passing out gifts to others. They couldn't pass them out fast enough. Cousin Maddie surprised Schuyler and Mack xmas evening and stayed with us until Wed the 27th. The girls had a fun few days as daddy and Grandpa took them to the Children's museum.

I went to work on the 26th but have since been enjoying my days off with the girls. We've had a lot of fun dressing up in leotards, tutu's, and jewelry, playing with play dough and enjoying long naps together! Papa has come over to help with some house projects as mama as getting in nesting mode. He also decided to take the kids overnight on Saturday so we could celebrate our new year's out. We did dinner and a little shopping to find mama some lounge clothes for the post delivery of baby. As for baby news, I have been 1cm dilated and 50% efface for the last 2 Friday appts. I have an appt scheduled this Friday, 1/5/07. Should I make it to this appt, it sounds like Dr. will be determining an induction date for the following week.


The girls are home with daddy today. They got a new sled and are ready to try it out so I think daddy will be getting his exercise today.

So, here is what I look like at 9 months. I have carried this one so much different than the girls and I think I'm the largest with him although my husband says I was larger with Schuyler. This is the first time in my life I got an outie for a belly button. With the girls I always had the "stripe" down the belly. Not this time!

Here is one of the girls in their Christmas dresses from Christmas day in front of our tree.

By the way, Happy New Year to all of you out there!!
