32 weeks...

So I obviously completely skipped over week 31...oops!  So this entry is a bit longer than the others (sorry!)  The holidays have me dizzy.  We had such a wonderful Christmas, but I am excited to get some sort of normal weekend in. 

 

We received an early Christmas present from Pittsburgh; our baby monitor!  We tested it out, and absolutely love it.  We can move the cameras from the receiver in our room, talk through the receiver and even play music.  I'm sure we will get plenty of miles out of this gift.  Thank you Waags!

Uncle Mike made it home in time for Christmas!!  This was the first in 5 years, and the first one I've ever had in HIS house...and in TX nonetheless. :)  It was so great to spend time with Molly, Ri, Bubba & the rest of our family.  We ate some delicious food off the grill and sweets of course, and did a lot of much needed relaxing.  

Mimi & Pops had everyone over to their house for a pre-Christmas dinner on Sat.  Jack has his own little stocking there :) This was the first time my brother, grandmother and most of my family has seen my super pregnant belly.  Uncle Mike was actually on a Navy ship when we told him the exciting news, so this was a bit of a surprise to go from wedding to preggo belly.  We had to leave Christmas before dinner was done due to the SNOW.  I couldn't believe it.  They said they got about 5 inches when it was all done with.  Auntie Molly sent us home with plenty of food...which we were eating with our fingers before we made it home :) 

Little Jack cleaned up at Christmas.  He got a mini golf set (Dad is completely giddy to open it), and his Auntie Molly made him a quilt, a steelers blanket with matching bib, and a mustache blanket (with matching bib).  Dad also bought him a camo onsie.  So adorable!

We had our checkup the day after Christmas.  Again, NOT fair to get on the scale after a holiday chow down.  Our doctor was in Italy for the holidays, so we had a new Dr.  She asked us if big babies ran in our family...YIKES!  This is the second time we've been asked this because little Jack apparently is measuring ahead of what his due date is.  We might have a Valentines baby ladies & gents!  

Jack has already flipped and is head down, ready to meet the world.  Slow down buddy!  He has been kicking up a storm still and I think we feel his little bum on my belly.  :)  We still haven't seen a foot print, but we are cheering for it.  I'm getting bigger by the day and my back is telling me so.  Blood pressure and all that jazz is still good though, and the swelling is really only after holiday dinners filled with salts LOL.  Heartburn has set in, but hopefully that is just leftover from the holidays as well...fingers crossed.  

The rest of Jack's bedding finally arrived (3 months later).  Leave it to me to get everything that ends up on backorder :)  I am very happy with how it all came out though!  Can't wait for our chair to arrive....hopefully next week we have a picture for you.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  I'll try not to forget week 33 :)
