Christmas 2009

It’s been quite an eventful Christmas season so far! We went from thinking nobody was going to be here this Christmas from my side of the family…remember my Mom and Dad were supposed to come visit this weekend….then Bonnie had baby Jarrett all of a sudden….and then Dad decided to still drive to Texas to visit in a freak snow storm on Thursday night! We were able to Skype with Bonnie, my Mom, and Nannie last night and she put Jarrett in front of the computer. He is so precious and he’s our little Christmas baby 🙂

It’s been great having Dad here so far and I’m so thankful he made it here okay. We spent yesterday at Terence’s parents house and had a wonderful time there as always! We are both so blessed to have such wonderful parents. Today we’ve been running around and Terence and I got a Costco card (for the mother load of diapers we will be buying this next year!)

Tonight we are going to another Christmas party and tomorrow my Mom and Nannie will fly into Dallas and are going to stay over night here. I’m so excited they will all be stopping by, even for just a little bit and it’s exciting to have our first house guests! I know it’s going to be hard for my Mom to leave Vegas and the baby behind. She will be doing this again in a couple of months though! ahh! She will have to rack up those frequent flying miles I guess! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Ready to be DONE!!!! Connor has been having a little party every night before I go to bed! LOL!

He is really excited and wants to meet his cousin 🙂

More pictures of the angel :)

Here are a couple more pictures of Jarrett. Bonnie is doing well, just trying to recover from her c-section. My Mom and Nannie made it to Las Vegas last night and are with her and Jason. She is so happy and excited! Thank you for all your prayers!

I had a Dr. appt this morning and everything is going good. I may have to have a c-section too b/c my Dr. said my pelvic bones are really narrow….that scares me! ahh!! I hope Connor is not a HUGE baby so I can have a normal delivery. God will take care of us, I know that and not to worry.
After work we had a small Christmas dinner, just me and the five ladies I work with. We exchanged our secret Santa gifts and had a good time out. I am so blessed to work with such lovely people who care about me so much 🙂 I am going to miss them while on maternity leave…just a little bit 😛
It has been quite a busy week! Hopefully this weekend I can catch up on some blog reading!
God is so good and never fails us! Merry Christmas, love, and blessings in the coming new year!

Connor’s nusery progress

I am on pins and needles waiting to hear from sidder to see how she is doing! She called me at lunch and she is about 5 cm dilated. I just want to see little Jarrett’s squishy little face! ahh!

Anyways! Terence and I (or mostly Terence) put up Connor’s owl decal on his wall. Terence said he thought it was kind of scary looking…but I like it and think it’s cute! It’s coming along…just need a few more things and the bedding and we’ll be good to go!

We are going to take care of the blind cords above the crib!

UGLY Christmas Sweater party

Saturday night Terence and I went over to our friends Adam & Christa’s house for their ugly Christmas sweater party. It was a lot of fun…thanks you guys! The most challenging part was finding something to wear! Everyone looked awesome and I realized most of the guys wore women’s sweaters LOL! Save those 80’s sweaters ya’ll you never know when you may wear them again!

Christa-the hostess with the mostess & me
I found this vest on Ebay (figured it was safe with a vest since I am HUGE)
It has Christmas teddy bears on it!
Terence wore a bugs bunny tie that belonged to his Dad
We searched for him something, but no luck so that was our last resort!

They had a singing quartet come and sing us Christmas carols
They did a really good job!

Here they are singing “Santa Baby” to Adam
You can see he’s enjoying all that attention eh?
LOL!
