Merry Christmas!


We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

A Visit With Santa

Seamus got to see Santa at the beginning of December but it's taken me a while to get the pictures up.


Seamus was nervous at first but he warmed up and even told Santa what he wanted for Christmas. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember what he said.....and neither do we. Ooops!

Christmas Photos

Last weekend, Duke, Seamus and I went out and took some photos for our Christmas cards. So I thought I would give a little preview.




Merry Christmas!

A Christmas Present

Here's a grainy photo from my phone to go with the last post. After we put the tree up, Seamus climbed under it and told us that he was a present! 

A Long & Rambly Post

My Grandma is getting on my case about not updating my blog. So this post is for you, Grandma!

Unfortunately, I don't really feel like there is anything blogworthy to share. So I'll talk about my day. If you get bored easily, stop reading here!

Today I went to Costco. We got a new desk chair because our old one was leaning over due to missing whels. We also got a pumpkin pie. It was not as good as I was expecting but it was still yummy! I guess my sister Claire has set the bar pretty high with her baking. Don't believe me??? Try her brownies!!!!

I really wanted to find a good book to read at Costco. I didn't find one so I was pretty bummed out. If anyone has any reccommendations I would love to hear them. The only requirement is that it won't make me cry. (I'm pregnant...I do enough of that on my own.) I also don't want anything scary either. And to give you an idea of what that means......if it's too
scary for a 6 year old...it's too scary for me.

What else is there to talk about?? Oh yeah. I got my hair cut! It has been over a year since I've had it cut. The last time was June 2008 before I went to Nauvoo. It was ugly and short and I looked like a Dutch page boy. Anyway, the new haircut is nothing to talk about. I paid $8.99 at Great Clips, and to say that's it's a good haircut for that price would be stretching the truth.

What I can't figure out about haircuts is this: I went in there with my hair parted on the side. (Which is how I ALWAYS wear it.) The stylist then parts my hair down the middle and proceeds to cut my hair. (Without saying a word to me.) The resulting hair cut puts all the layers on one side of my head. Did she expect me to automatically start parting my hair down the middle because she cut it that way?? A
good stylist would ask me those sorts of things and talk to me about the cut I want. Oh well, that's what I get for being cheap.

Now that I've had my hair cut, it's time to cut Duke and Seamus' hair and take a family photo. Then I need to order Christmas cards and get them sent out. I am really bad about getting them sent out on time but at least his year I have a relatively good excuse!! I am also excited because my little sister, Claire is going to let me cut her hair on Saturday. It will be good practice for me.

Hmmm....what else can I ramble on about?? Or have you all had enough? I was going to take a photo of Seamus to add but he says, "No pictures today."

Well, for all you blog stalkers out there, can you please give me the name of a book that you can read over and over again?? I'm desperate! Thanks! And good night!

New Baby Photos!

I got another ultrasound last week (week 28 of the pregnancy). It was supposed to be just to check the placenta, but I got another full diagnostic ultrasound. She wasn't co-operating very much, she kept putting her hands in front of her face.
This was the best scan that we got of her.

Here's a profile shot.

She has hair! In the scan you can see the little bumps, those are hair follicles. Yay!

We also found out that she weighed 3 lbs 2 oz. and is in the 90th percentile for her length. It sure feels like it too! She's quickly running out of room in there!

Also, my Placenta Previa has resolved itself! (Which was expected. It resolves in 90% or pregnancies.) It means that I don't have to schedule a c-section though. Yay!

So....Last Month Was Halloween....

So I though I would finally post some pictures!

Seamus designed the pumpkin and Duke cut it out.

Seamus dressed up as Lightning McQueen and Duke dressed up as our attorney who just got back from an elephant hunt in Africa.

I dressed up as a spider....which didn't really work because my extra legs kept falling off because of the cold. It was nice to have a warmer Halloween! (Warmer than last year I mean.)
