Hadley Family Christmas Party


Well look who came to the Hadley Family party! Santa. The Big Man. SC. Kris Kringle. Ol' Happy Claus himself. He comes every year, so we know we have to be good. The Hadley Family party (Greg's mom's side of the family) was really fun. We love seeing everyone and catching up on what all the cousins are doing.
In this picture I'm obviously going through the long list of what I want Santa to bring me and he's just looking at me like, "Hurry it up, would ya? My leg is asleep!" No really. I wasn't sure at all what to ask for. I should have asked for a hair cut! (I need one rather terribly and keep putting it off since Ems is in Nebraska. That's a long way to go for a hair cut. Also, I keep saying I'm "growing it out." What else is new??) So really, I asked for a Rottweiler puppy. But Santa recommended a yellow lab. I'm sure we're really not getting a dog this year. Maybe when we have a house. Greg asked for skis, and it turns out Santa is a skier! If you think about it, its rather obvious since he does live at the North Pole.

Thanks to Uncle Ron and Aunt Kathy for planning such a great party and taking our pictures!

    I LOVE the picture of you telling Santa your list. It's so Lis! Hmm... I guess Santa would be a skier. I never thought about it before. Does that mean Santa might be bringing some skis? After we talked on the phone Dylan went crazy. He was in his room for quite a while having time out after time out. I can't wait to pull the Santa card again! You can only use that for one month out of the year so you've got to take advantage of it. Anthony's shirt today said, Dear Santa- I can explain! I think that sums up my day with those crazy boys! I'm ready for a break! Maybe I'll go to the store. Sad that my break from life is a trip to the store these days, but it's what I look forward to. That and the gym. I need a hobby!

    A puppy is a good preparation for a baby (go see "Marley and Me!"). You said, "when we get a house" - does that mean the one by Chauntelle's brother didn't work out (did I miss that in your blog somewhere?).

    Lis,
    A rottweiler puppy would be fantastic! The party looked like fun! Can't wait to see you soon!

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
