OH BABY!!!!




I'm totally overwhelmed with gratitude, happiness and love right now. I had my second ultrasound today- this one with a specialist who checks out the baby for chromozone issues (due to my age...no comments please =D). The ultrasound tech came in and started and said everything looks normal and that Avery is growing just as she should be. She measures at 22weeks and 6days but her legs measure at 24 weeks.... of course they do I get to give birth to a giant like the rest of the family =)! As we were watching the ultrasound tech noticed that Avery had the hiccups so we sat and watched.... sooo cute!!! Her little legs were folded indian style for a while until we shook my belly and got her to move some more. She is definately a girl, and she is moving all over the place!! It was a special day due to it being Mike's birthday and we being able to see our baby and know that she is healthy and growing just as she should be. The doctor gave us great news and said everything looks great and that he would do another ultrasound at 32-33weeks just to reassure us that she is healthy and no worries for downs. I know I may be bias but dang she is sure cute!! =D!

Christmas at the Parke's






So it was our first Christmas being married and we decided to spend it together just the two of us. We went over to Mike's brothers house for Christmas eve and had prime rib dinner. Then we came home and did one gift. Then to bed to wait for Santa to come. The next morning we got up and had to decide breakfast or presents first. Mike's family had to always have breakfast first...mine nope we went right for the good stuff. I won out and we decided to do presents first =D. Here is some pictures of our morning together.
