Baby T wishes you all a very Merry Christmas!

‘Twas days before Christmas and all through the house
Everyone was stirring, even a mouse.
The stockings were hung in the living room with care
In hopes that Santa would soon be there.
I have been battling a cold in the head,
While wishing there were meds I could take instead.
Brad is busy working at the mine,
But the thoughts of Baby T always make him shine.
Nimbus and Pooka are both doing well
Hyper with excitement from what we can tell.
Baby T’s also ready for this holiday season
And is looking forward to meeting all of you for good reason.
Our last doctor’s visit was without any worry
Baby T is growing great, but in no hurry.
With flying colors I passed my glucose test
This is great news due to the sweets in our nest!
We have finally sent cards out and decorated our Christmas tree
And it is the first real one for me.
The ornaments are on and the lights are hung
And Christmas music is all that is sung.
I look forward to seeing many of you soon
I just hope my flight is not delayed passed noon.
So that is our update for this week
I am sure there will be more info you will seek.
Last, but not least, Merry Christmas to you
And your families too!

Merry Christmas from Brad, Ashley, and Baby T!

Me with my very first real tree as we were making sure it was standing straight.

Pooka is also enjoying the festive tree. She has even been helping clean up the needles!

Thanksgiving pics

As promised, there is a picture taken from Thanksgiving. Better late than never, right?

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

I am still waiting for some pictures to be sent my way from Thanksgiving, but I do have some to share. Whether Baby T's taste buds were developed or not, she had a wonderful meal. Brad and I shared the holiday with my parents, who drove down from Chicago, and Brad's family. It was wonderful to see my family and I think they were surprised to see me in person (even though they have had warning of the ever growing belly!). At least I only have to wait another month to see them again! I am sure that will be an adventure all its own because I will be flying (and it will be a solo trip because Brad has to work).
Now 27 weeks, Baby T continues to grow, kick, and entertain us. She is pushing against ribs more, which isn't the most comfortable feeling, but I can only believe she doesn't mean to. She is even giving us a show now during church. Last week, while singing, I noticed that my book was moving and I wasn't moving it! She is pushing against it hard enough to make it move away from my belly! Then it was just entertaining to see if Brad and I could watch her kicks and not just feel them. We have another appointment next week (the last of our monthly visits before going to every 2 weeks!) where we hope to hear that everything is right on target. We will keep you posted!
