Merry Christmas 2010!!

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year! My best presents were 1)having Wally at home and 2)having Carson in my belly. What more could a girl ask for? Oh, I know--a camera that consistently takes good pictures! It was so hit and miss and very frustrating when trying to capture a decent picture. With a baby on the way, a new camera is definitely being worked into the budget!

We started out spending Christmas Eve with Wally's family at his mom's house.

We opened gifts on Christmas morning at my sister's house.

Megan decorated her own Christmas tree this year!

Next, we headed up to my dad's house for Christmas breakfast.

The kids got an Xbox 360 with Kinect!

Mel and Wally's yummy basket of goodies:)

Lastly, we headed home to celebrate Christmas with Wally's kids.

As always, Christmas Day was a whirlwind adventure, but well worth it to spend time with family!

How Cute Are These Girls?!

Wally's daughter, Ammie, has two of the cutest girls ever! They are so sweet and fun to be around. We don't see them too often, but when we do I just can't get enough of them!

Payten is two and Sydney is six. Here are some pics I took off Ammie's blog. So cute!

Christmas at Mom's

We had a Christmas party at my mom’s house on Sunday with my mom and Paul, Natalie’s family and Sharalyn. Unfortunately, Grandpa McKell was sick so he couldn’t make it up. Wally was still on the road, so he wasn’t able to make it either. We had a really yummy dinner (best lasagna ever!) and exchanged gifts. Too bad the gift we gave to Paul he already had! That has never happened to me before. I can’t wait until next year when Carson is here to attend the party!

I had to take some of the pictures off my mom’s blog to post here because most of mine didn’t turn out very well. You can tell the pictures that are from my camera—they are kind of fuzzy and have a weird tint to them. Maybe I should add a new digital camera to my Christmas list this year!

Frost Family Christmas Party

We had our annual Frost Family Christmas Party over the weekend. I love getting together during the holidays with my cousins. We only see them a couple of times a year and it’s always so much fun to catch up with everyone. Santa makes an appearance each year so we can all make sure he knows what we want for Christmas. I definitely got my Christmas wish from last year! My pictures from the party this year turned out terrible! My camera batteries were running low, so there was a delay every time I went to take a photo. I’ll post them for all to see because other than one or two lucky shots, they really are that bad!

29 Weeks

11 weeks to go! Still feeling pretty well and having very few complaints. I’ve been to two of six scheduled childbirth classes and what an eye opener they have been! Some of the general stuff we’ve gone over I knew from being around when my sister had babies, but there are a lot of little details that I am learning about for the first time. We have watched four different labor and delivery videos and all I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR MEDICATION!! Hats off to anyone who has gone through it naturally, but I am under no illusion that I would be able to handle that amount of pain for that amount of time. Let’s be honest, I’ve never been one to tolerate pain well, so this situation will be no different, I’m sure!

Here is my 29 week picture for my growth tracking:



I had to post this picture from Thanksgiving being that it is the only one taken of us together in quite some time:

28 Weeks

Welcome to the third trimester! With only 12 weeks to go, I am starting to get a little nervous about all that still needs to be done. We have the crib put together, but the dresser/changing table is still in the box. Even with the crib put together, it is still sitting in our front room. I need to do some juggling of other furniture to clear out room for the nursery. I need to find all of the accessories (lamps, picture frames, stuff for the walls, etc.) to finish it off, but my mom and I did find the perfect picture to go above his crib:

I love, love this picture!!

With Wally being out of town until December 23rd, the number of tasks to do related to the baby coming, along with all of the holiday shopping that needs to be done is making things seems a bit overwhelming right now. Little by little, day by day!

The little man finally cooperated and gave us some great 4D shots of his face at Fetal Foto last night.

I so love this face already!

I’m excited to start child birthing classes tonight that go on for six weeks. I’m hoping to get a better understanding of what I’m in for come the big day. I figure the more information I have the better off I’ll be when it’s time for delivery. What is my birth plan you may ask? To be in as little pain as possible! Pain medication will be my bff that day:)

Lastly, here is my 28 week picture:

I didn’t quite make my goal of gaining 4 lbs a month this past month and by not making my goal I mean I completely went over! Let’s just say if I don’t gain too much weight next month I won’t be very worried!
