155 Strong!

We went to the doctor today for my monthly check-up. Everything was right on track...only gained 1 pound...woohoo! BP was 124/70, so that was good as well. Dr S. was able to find the heartbeat very quickly this time...averaged between 155 and 160, which is where it is supposed to be.

As we were walking out of the clinic, Terry said, "That makes it all real...hearing the heartbeat." What a softy! It does really make it all seem a whole lot more real.

Next big date is Jan 12th, when we get to see our little babe on the ultrasound. I can't wait!

Hugs All Around!

We went to the Santa Brunch in Oak Lake on Sunday. What a fun afternoon! We had pancakes, sausage, eggs, hashbrown casserole, fruit, muffins, etc. for brunch. It was delicious!

There were a ton of activities for the kids to participate in. They had face paining,

a station where they made animal headbands, cookie decorating, kids shopping, and a bunch of other things. Breana had a blast decorating her cake, as you can see!

After she did that, she went into the shopping part. For $2 a gift, they can shop for mom and dad. I stood outside the area, and Grandma Ginny went in with her to help. Apparently, she didn't need any help, because Breana kicked her out! What a kid! I think she did a wonderful job!

Santa wasn't busy, so he came out into the table area to talk to a couple of the kids, and when he squatted down to talk to Tyler, Breana went over and give him a long, tight hug! This is a kid who wanted me to be with her when she sat on his knee! It was precious. After that, she went and sat on his lap and told him that she wants a flashlight for Christmas. A blue flashlight, to be exact. What a kid! Needless to say, she had a lot of fun, and got over her fear of Santa Claus!
