19 weeks and counting........















So today was my 19 week check-up. Everything looks good, baby's heart rate was 158 today, perfectly strong! Since we are leaving for Florida next week, it makes me close to 23 weeks by the time we find out the sex of the baby. A little later than usual, but it couldn't be happening on a better day. We find out on our 5 year anniversay and of course Zach's Birthday, January 14th! We are soooooo excited!!! :-)

In other news, the kids are really excited about Christmas. Jackson is definitely a Christmas kid! He gets so excited about anything pertaining to the BIG day! His last day of school was yesterday til the new year. They had a little holiday party, sang songs and presented us with gifts they made especially for us! They painted 6 x6 tiles, with their hand print making Santa, something I'll treasure forever, I'm sure! Plus and Angel ornament! He was so excited, I thought he was going to burst! It's so much fun watching it through a childs eyes! We have been baking lots of cookies, something both my boys LOVE! :-) This year, Mom O treated Leah and I to a cookie assembly at Make & Take Gourmet and let me tell you it has been a life savor! We went on a Saturday and I put together 5 batches of cookies, brought them home and put them in the freezer until I needed to bake! It has worked out so well for me, so thanks again mom! :-)

Well only a few more days til Christmas and then we leave for Florida! We are really looking forward to 2 weeks on the beach, a much needed vacation! I'll have lots to blog about after that so stay tuned! Until then, Merry Christmas to all of you! Know that I'm thinking of my family and friends from afar!!! Hugs to you all!!!
