Pregnancy

Here are some photos of me starting at 14 Weeks up until present.  I can't believe how much I've grown these past 7 months.  I'm in the last trimester now and I can tell this lil guy is growing!  He kicks me pretty hard now and even wakes me up some nights from all the kicking.  Mike even felt him kicking one night while I was asleep, he said no wonder I don't make it through with a full night of sleep.  We have started getting the nursery cleaned out and organized.  I bought a beautiful rug and I'm excited to start putting furniture in there.  Our first shower is coming up this weekend in Rockford, IL!

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve at Mom and Dad's.  We went to church and then to Grandma's to celebrate with the Prindiville's.

With my Grandma Christmas Eve.  I love seeing her and I'm glad she makes trip to Colorado still.

Obviously I just woke up at about 10am.  These sleep in days will not last much longer so I'm enjoying them while I can!

How many people can say they are out shooting guns on Christmas

Image

Image
I perhaps was attempting to shoot pigeons.  However, the kickback was a bit more fierce than I anticipated.  Ooops.  No more shooting for this pregnant momma.

It was a wonderful Christmas this year!  We were so fortunate to travel to both Illinois and Oklahoma to see both sides of our family.  It was a laid back Christmas with my family since we don't have any little ones yet.  It is kind of the calm before the storm because we will have two active little boys next year.  Kate is expecting in March and then I will have our baby in April.  Mom and Dad could not be happier!!!!  I took alot of naps and enjoyed some very cold windy walks with Mike and Barley.  Dad took everyone outside to shoot with two of his new guns.  The boys had a blast needless to say.  We were able to visit with my Grandma and the Prindiville relatives while we were in town too which was wonderful.  We then took a flight into Tulsa to see Mike's family.  We didn't get to see any of his aunts/uncles, or cousins but did get in some visits with Grandma Jones.  It was fun staying the night with Mark and Whitney.  The kiddos were pretty excited their aunt and uncle were at the house.  We had a quick visit with Matt and Ashley and their kiddos too.  Ashley and I will both be adding on two little boys to the Franks' clan this spring as well.  Christmas is going to be a houseful next year:)  It has been a very blessed year and we are looking forward to 2013!!!!!!
