OMG, I'm pregnant!

For some reason it took along time for me to let my guard down with this pregnancy. It may be because I have known more moms to have experienced a miscarriage or maybe because they were unable to hear the heartbeat at my 11 week appointment (an ultrasound later that day found that the baby was in fact okay, but I never got to hear the heartbeat). I'm not sure why. I had my 16 week appointment yesterday. They found the heartbeat right away and it sounded great. For some reason, that is all I needed. I have been on edge for the past 16 weeks, but I'm willing to accept it now. I'm wearing maternity clothes and added my due date to my name tag at ECFE. I'm going to have another baby. wow.

Santa at Choo Choo Bob's

Santa makes a stop Choo Choo Bob's every year. It's always on a Sunday so I am never able to go because I'm at work. But Tim has faithfully brought the kids for the past 2 years. This is as close as Oliver got last year and Amelia did not even get that far. Notice the nice outfit and nicely combed hair.

This year they both sat on Santa's lap. I was shocked. I did not think they were actually going to make it up there. Notice the hair and outfits this year. Despite the hair and clothes I think this is one of the most precious pictures I have of the kids.

Oliver telling Santa what he wants for Christmas. He's growing up.

Great pictures dad! You rock!
