Update on us

There isn't a ton to update and unfortunately I have no pictures. This computer is awful and has now decided not to let me upload pics. I'm trying to work on it but so far its a no go.

We had a great Christmas this year. We kept it very low key and stayed at home. We had a great Christmas Eve dinner which my parents were also there for and they stayed the night as well. Liam and Loch loved having both sets of grandparents there Christmas morning! They got a lot of great presents and had a blast playing all day. We decided last year that we wouldn't be going out and about on Christmas day and I'm so glad we stuck to it! It was so nice not having to run around for once.

My Liam turned 4 on December 30th! I can't believe how big he is getting. It seems like he was just a little baby not too long ago and now he's such a big boy! I hate how the time flies but I love watching him learn and grow so much. We had a nice little party for him on January 2nd and he got lots of great presents.

It's been really cold here lately so outside time has pretty much been non existent, especially since we're all battling colds still to a degree. I'll take the cold over the hot weather any day though!

Ian and I are still car shopping, which really sucks! I hate looking for a car (Honda Odyssey to be exact) but it's something we absolutely need before the new baby comes and our time line is getting shorter and shorter for that. Hopefully soon we'll find something!

I cannot wait until March as this little girl is getting really painful to carry. Between all the contractions, cramping, and intense pelvic pain and pressure I don't know how I'm going to make it another 9 weeks (or more!). Obviously I want her baking as long as possible but I could use a little break. I'm already dilated and effaced (as of 29 weeks) so I've been trying to take it easy (easier said than done with two little guys to keep up with) as much as possible. As much as I want Lila here, I don't want her here anytime soon! As long as she comes between February 20th and April 3rd I'm good since I can only deliver at the birth center between those dates and a hospital is just about the last place I want to have her.

We're all gearing up for Jaclyn's wedding which is fast approaching too! Just a few more weeks! So it'll be very busy around here the next couple months! Hopefully I'll have some pictures to share soon.
