33 Weeks

33 Weeks

It is hard to believe that I am already 33 weeks pregnant and will be welcoming a new bundle of joy in just 6 weeks or less!! You don't even know how excited I am!! I am so ready, I am so blessed to be able to be pregnant and carry a healthy baby boy but I have to admit I am done being pregnant (please don't hate me for saying this.) Mostly I am just ready to meet my sweet baby Hudson!!!

I had a DR appt yesterday...... My belly was measuring 36 weeks  ( Look how big I am) so she did an Ultrasound. Hudson is already weighs 5 1/2 lbs and is measuring right around 36 weeks and is head down. She didn't offically move my due date or anything but just said she would watch me! He looked great and healthy! I am feeling pretty good just the normal aches and pains of being pregnant and gaining weight. Luckily I didn't get my nasty rash this time around!! I have had a terrible pelvic/hip.groin pain going on for the last 5-6 weeks. Some days are worse than others, there are some days I can hardly even walk because of it but I will manage only a few more weeks!!! I'm predicting he will come at the end of January! I am ready for the challenges, blessings, and happiness that sweet Hudson will bring to me in just a few weeks!!!!!

Me, My baby Brody, and baby Hudson!!

Christmas 2011

Christmas Eve Eve--On Friday evening we went and had Christmas with Timmy's family at his Dad's. We had a great time and got lots of goodies! Brody was definitely spoiled! His Papaw Roland and Angie got him a Leapster Explorer and a few games. His uncle Chris and Aunt Alex got him a drum set ( I could kill them for this but he LOVES it) a set of "hunting" guns, a remote control truck, and an adorable tool/carpenter set. I didn't take any pictures but of Brody so here are a few.

Christmas Eve- We spent the day over at my parents with all of my family. We started with a big breakfast and then cooking and preparing for our Christmas dinner. We did everything on Christmas Eve this year and it was wonderful. We had an awesome meal and then opened way too many presents!! Brody was so excited about all of his toys! I will have to say I got alot of great things too!! It was a monogrammed Christmas for me!!Just to name a few... I got a monogrammed cell phone case, wristlet, scarf, duffle, tote, robe, slippers, and even a personalized hospital gown!!!!! We walked home from my parents and then started on things for Santa with Brody Luke!

Once we got home Brody and I made chocolate chip cookies for Santa and colored him a letter. Brody was so very excited for Santa to come that he just did not want to go to sleep! It took forever for him to fall asleep but around midnight he finally did! Then Santa came...

Christmas Morning was so magical with Brody this year! He woke up around 7:30 and walked into the living room and the 1st thing he said when he saw everything was, " Oh my goodness I can't believe I really got a train table!!" All day he kept saying that over and over and how much he loved it and he is still saying it! After presents we ate french toast and then went to church. After church we headed back over to Timmy's dad's for Christmas with the rest of his family, we had a great time! We had a Wonderful Christmas, more than I could have asked for. We will always remember the true meaning of Christmas and that is what truly makes Christmas so special. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this incredible act of love.

Brody's Santa List

Santa will be visiting our house ( we hope) in just 4 days, yay. I can't wait. I am like a kid waiting for Christmas since I have had Brody. I get so excited to make it so magical for him and to make it just perfect. This is the 1st year though that he is really into it and believes and realizes who Santa is and what is going on, so I just can't wait!!! He LOVES Santa, he has saw him and sat on his lap 4 different times, I think. Each time his Wish list is pretty much the same. He asks Santa for the same thing but to Momma and everyone else he asks for other things. Here is the thing he has asked Santa for each and every time......

A Train Table! I sure hope Santa remembers and brings this sweet boy a train table!!!!

There are all kinds of other things he has taken interest in and asked for such as Rescue Hero's, A Bat cave, Hot Rod's, a scooter and some other things but a train table was #1 on his Santa List!

Brody's 1st Christmas Play

Last night was our Christmas program at church and it was Brody's 1st Christmas Play that he was in. He was a donkey ( he wouldn't wear the donkey hat.) He didn't have a speaking part it was just his job to put Baby Jesus in the manger. He was really proud and has been practicing but you never know how he will do, he is at that age. He did pretty well but then found a mic just his size during the program and started saying "Pizza" into the mic. Then he decided he wanted to try and get into the communion so I had to take him out, he cried and cried because he wanted to finish the play but I didn't want him to cause anymore ruckus. Once the play was over he was still crying because "they finished the play without him." He didn't take a nap yesterday so I think that was part of it. He did pretty good for his 1st time and what can you expect out of a almost 3 year old (gasp.)

Our Week

I haven't really had my camera out this week so here is what we have been doing this week with pictures from my iPhone. We have had a fun week not doing a whole lot. The weather here in KY has been pretty and fairly warm (68 degrees yesterday) but back to being cold today! We have played outside, ran errands, baked Christmas cookies with my sister and cousin, had a baby Dr check up, church, play practice, etc. I can't believe Christmas is next weekend, I can't wait!!

Brody has been into army guys this last week. He carries them around in a little box and loves playing with them and lining them up.

Napping with Aunt Les

Playing with Aunt Les

 Brody found Ya-Ya reading his Christmas book

He also found him hanging out with his Nutcracker's

Brody's new favorite thing to do is take all of the cushions and pillows off of the couch's and chairs and pile them in the floor s he can play "Wipeout."

Our Christmas play at church is on Sunday and I can't wait to see how Brody does. He loves practicing with the big boys and takes it very serious.
