Abigail's first "photo shoot"

So last night we went to a local place that does 3D ultrasounds of the baby. We did this with the kiddos too, but never got any good shots. Well, that's how it started last night. For 25 minutes she had her head burried in the placenta and would not give us a good shot of her face. We ticked her off enough that she even pulled her legs up over her head and covered any chance we had at a picture of her. So after 25 min., they said the time was up. While we sat in the waiting room theylooked and said there were no good shots and we were welcome to come to the back and try again. Well, it's a good thing we did, because she decided to put her legs down and move her face out from the placenta :) It was really funny, because the umbilical cord was right by her mouth and on the video you can see her using her mouth to play with it. She was also grabbing at it too. She gave us about 10 minutes of facial shots before she turned her back to us completely so we couldn't get any more shots. She sure has quite the personality already!

Snow, gingerbread houses, Christmas tree...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Decorating sugar cookies for the 1st time.

We said it was ok if they ate the gingerbread house, wasn't exactly expecting that :P

Went to an exhibit made of ice. It was COLD in there. They keep it at 9 degrees.

Now for the snow pictures. It started snowing around 11 pm Friday night. By 8 pm Saturday night this is what it looked like...

This was the 1st real snow fall of the season. We had a little snow flurries a couple of weeks ago, but it never really stuck to the ground. This storm is incredible. Everything is basically closed down. Including all the churches tomorrow.

Visit with Santa...

The kiddos got to go see Santa today. They even are old enough to tell him what they want for Christmas. The picture is definitely an improvement from last year :) Still needs some work though, lol.
The kids are both over the chicken pox, hand foot and mouth disease, and the other junk. They had a good 2 weeks disease free, and now Kd is getting some kind of cough. Lovely. We're loading him with vitamins, so maybe we can catch this before it gets too out of hand.
The kids had a great Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa (Clint's parents) and their uncles. Those pictures are on my other comp, and frankly I am too lazy to go up the stairs and get them. We have been going non-stop since 7:30 this morning (it's nearly 7 pm now!). I will post them when I get on that computer at some point though :)
Everyone said my 1st attempt at a turkey was amazing. Not too dry, tasted great. I'm pretty happy with myself. We had a friend of ours come over too. She made half the food, I made the other half. Worked out great!
We have quite the busy month ahead. We plan on going to the National aquarium, a new exhibit called ICE!, as well as the trip down to Williamsburg for Christmas. After that, one of my brother's is getting married. The kids 3rd birthday is Jan. 2nd, so I have some planning for that. Clint's b-day is next week. I also have 2 OB appts this month So yes, just a little crazy. I'm loving it though, sure makes the time go by MUCH faster :)
I am 26 weeks pregnant now. Things are looking great! The baby is getting nice and big, and of course, so is my belly. The kids remind me of that daily. The baby is still doing flips and kicks. She doesn't quite want to settle down for the long haul just yet.
Having to pee 6 times during the night is really getting old. 39 weeks they'll pull this baby out at the latest. I can make it 13 weeks, I can, I can, I think I can. I will be fine if she shows up anytime after 36 weeks though :)
The kiddos have been having fun with their friends. They have several now, and they go to playgroup with them each week. Well, the weeks they aren't sick anyway.
That's all I have for now. I'll update with Thanksgiving pics when I can get to it.
