Oh Christmas Tree. Oh Christmas House.



Thank you Ryan for giving me a beautiful (and wonderful-smelling) tree, lighting it up AND putting up all my childhood ornaments... while I watched from the couch. Such a sweet husband. I love it. And you. And the smell. And especially you.



The house looks great too. Mr. Wolf Vanlandingham, our fine pine tree looks especially festive. P.S. DEER!

Critical week #1 - SURPASSED! Critical week #2 - Christmas Eve, here we come!


32 Weeks and looking like I could have him any second. But 32 has always been the first critical week to reach, so we're thrilled. But we're also greedy. We're going to try our hardest to go as far as we can. My doctors (I have about 5 now) keep telling me how surprised they are that I'm still pregnant. Well take that, 50% chance! Just watch me make it to 37 weeks or more.

Here's our families' guesses for Evan's birthday and birth weight. Lisa and Brad, I hope you aren't right. :)

Ryan - January 16 - 7lb 2oz
Kendra - January 15 - 6lb 13oz
Arlin - February 6 - 7 lb
Beckie - January 1 - 5lb
Kathryn - January 7 - 5lb 3oz
Dustin - January 13 - 4lb 14oz (sorry, Budens. I'll never forget you again.)
Lisa - December 25 - 5lb 8oz
Curtis - December 31 - 5lb 5oz
Laura - January 11 - 6lb 3oz
Brad - December 25 - 7lb 11oz
Sylvia - January 4 - 5lb 14oz
Joni - January 21 - 8lb 3oz
Jodi - January 4 - 4lb 4oz
Nikki - January 14 - 5lb 6oz






I finished Evan's blanket! I was actually a little worried I wouldn't get it done in time, but bedrest means you can spend nearly 100 hours crocheting in a 2 month period. What else was I supposed to do in the middle of the day when TV choices are limited to an array of soaps and court dramas? Anyway, I like the way it turned out.
