Karly's first lose tooth

Karly lost her first tooth. She was so excited even though she wouldn't let us pull it. She wouldn't talk or eat so finally her Grandma Ellen pulled it out and she went back to her normal self. She has now since lost her second tooth and and is missing her two bottom teeth. She has other loose teeth in her mouth but will not let us pull them out. She's a funny girl.

25 Weeks

Today I'm 25 weeks and 1 day. 1 day past when I had Noah. I feel such a relief every day that I go past 25 weeks. I know what a 25 weeker looks like and I don't want to see another one again. Jared wasn't home so these were the best shots I could get. My two kids took them. A few with my head cut off but not too bad. I feel huge and it doesn't help that a lady I work with every time she sees me she keeps saying how big I'm getting. Today she told me how this outfit made me look REALLY pregnant. I'm just self conscious especially since it's my third. My stomach just has popped way out there too. This baby feels like she sits right on my bladder and kicks and kicks and kicks. She is really low. 

Baby #3

We're excited to announce that we will be having a baby girl in April. I feel huge. This time my stomach just expanded so fast. I have thought all a long that it was a girl again. I have had the same cravings I did with Karly. The only difference with this one is that I've been so so so tired. Maybe it is because I'm anemic. So I have to take extra iron with this one. But things have been going great so far. I'm 24 weeks right now. So I'm in my 6th month of pregnancy. This baby is super active. She kicks all the time and is super low. I've had major cravings for sweets and this time of year is a bad time for that. Now if Jared and I could just agree on a name for this little one.  We had our big 3-D ultrasound and it's crazy how you can see what the baby looks like this early. I think she looks like my husbands side of the family. It will be interesting to see if she looks like them when she comes out. 

Christmas

My kids have been so excited for Christmas. They both barely made it on the good list this year. But luckily things fell in their favor and they got lots of good presents. 

 Karl'ys big wish this year was an American Girl doll. She got one that looks just like her.

 Noah's big wish this year was a tablet. He got a Nook tablet and now I can't get him to get off of it.

Both kids also got a lot of other great gifts.

Christmas Eve

Every year we go up to Jared's moms for Christmas Eve dinner and Santa. He brings each of the grandkids a present and they love getting to see him the night before Christmas and getting to open one gift before the big day. Karly was a little nervous to sit on Santa this year. She wasn't sure if she was going to make the good list this year. She barely made it. 

 Ady wasn't too sure about Santa this year.

 Carson is now too tall to sit on Santa's lap. He's taller than me now. Crazy to think he's only 12.

This is the Place Park

We went to this is the Place Heritage Park. I love the little activites they have the kids do at each different location. My kids loved getting to see Santa. I think their favorite house to visit was the one that made gingerbread cookies. The weather was perfect when we went and I thought it would be a busy night but it actually wasn't busy at all.

Noah's Christmas Performance

Noah's school had a Christmas performance. It turned out so cute. I had to take a picture of his cute soldier he made too. It's the first one in the picture.
