Christmas 2019 flew by! This year was very fun- Henry was very into Santa this year and understood the idea that he was coming to our house. He was so cute about picking the perfect cookie and leaving the carrots for the reindeer. Apparently the getting up early starts even at 3 years old! He was rip roaring ready to go at 6 am!
Christmas jammies are my favorite! Burt's Bees had the cutest ones at Target this year and I love that they match without actually matching. Plus, they are pretty gender neutral so the girls can eventually wear them as well! I also bought one more stocking to make our Pottery Barn Kids collection complete with 5(!). Mom and Dad no longer will have a stocking. Ha!
Anything Toy Story is a hit with these two!
Aunt Kara and Uncle Ives sent some fake snowballs and I'm pretty sure it was the hit gift on Christmas eve! The whole family had a huge snowball fight.
Santa brought the boys a play kitchen! They have one at my moms but I figured having one at our house doesn't hurt either. Plus again...it will be used over and over by the next three as well!
Henry was gifted a doctor's kit from his Aunt Danielle and Uncle Blake and he has played with it everyday. He's very into make believe right now.
My Christmas morning studs all ready for church. I love these outfits and purposely picked simple red and white because I figured they can wear them all winter (V-day, etc.).
Sweet Graham couldn't hang on Christmas eve morning. He NEVER falls asleep anywhere other than his bed or the car so this was a first. We looked down and he was passed out between us. Such a sweet sleeping baby he is.
This year Henry got his first "games"! Hungry Hungry Hippos and Pop the Pig. I've been on the hunt for the game Elefun as well. I figured it's good to have some things I can play with him that don't involve me having to move a lot.
We've been doing a lot of relaxing which is nice! I'm at a point in this pregnancy where no position is really comfortable for long.
I was smack dab 30 weeks on Christmas day! I saw my doctor yesterday and these girls are growing good and everything looks great. They have scheduled my c-section for January 27th, a day after my birthday! What a great late birthday gift, right? I'm getting nervous about the c-section because I've never had surgery before. I'm sure everything will go fine. I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that this birth will be so different from my boys. There will be so many more people in the operating room and the girls will most likely be whisked away into the NICU for monitoring. I'm just praying for a smooth delivery and that the girls can be as healthy as possible and that we don't have to have a long NICU stay! Starting next week I will be on modified bed rest.
At our last appointment, the ultrasound tech and doctor were trying very hard to get a reading of the girls blood flow levels in their brains (they look at SO MUCH every time) and sweet baby Kate would not cooperate one bit. You could actually see her shaking her head as if saying, "No way lady" while they were trying to get her reading. It was hilarious. It's amazing to watch them on the screen and see all the limbs and heads and bodies just moving all around like crazy. It's a miracle that they all fit in there!
My sweet friend Marie has been helping me organize the girls nursery and the boys closet. She has been a godsend, especially with my lack of energy or time to get it done myself with two toddlers running around!
These girls have so many clothes! They are going to be quite the fashionistas. I keep thinking we have WAY to much but then I remind myself that it's all for three!
These sweet prints will be going above each girl's crib. In the beginning I think we will have them in one crib but we'll see what happens when they are home!
Thank you for all the prayers, gifts, love and help that we've been given already! We are so thankful and appreciative for all of it!
