Mom and baby are doing well. Here are a few pictures to hold you over. Vesti will post again soon with more pictures and details. There were several family members at the hospital awaiting Anna's arrival so there will be plenty more pictures up here soon.

Christmas

I have done a TERRIBLE job at taking pictures lately. Unfortunately, our Christmas memories will remain mostly just that...memories. There are NO pictures of me, two of Brandon, and only about 15 of Davis. Ugh. I'm working on it.

37 weeks! Yay! I had an amnio today (12/26), and it said her lungs are mature and she's ready to come out. We don't have an exact time yet (as will most all surgeries, we won't know until the day before), but the c-section is scheduled for Thursday, 12/29!! We can't wait to have her here!

Santa Came!

And, D loved all of the books and toys he got.

Santa hit a HOME RUN with this little Leapfrog phone thing!

We got that toy box at an unfinished furniture store (as with most of our furniture). B took it apart, sanded, stained, and oiled it. He's so good at that sort of thing! Davis loves that box. More specifically, he loves to be IN the box. :)

Sweet boy, so happy!

Nana and Grandpa got the tent, and I'm certain it is his FAVORITE. He will get in and call for one of us to come play with him. He also frequently disappears and we find him in it playing quietly.

He was soooo happy all day!

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior! What a beautiful thing to know that a tiny baby came to save us all from ourselves!

Diagnosis Day...

...2 years later. December 1, 2009. The day is still as vivid as if it were today. Two years ago today we found out our sweet boy had spina bifida. He is truly a miracle, and we could never have imagined how amazing he would be doing at just 19 months of age. We are so blessed, and thank you all for your prayers throughout the past 2 years! Please don't stop!

December 1, 2009. The only "foot picture" I have...and I'm still thankful that it's blurry! :)

December 2, 2009...God knows how much I love the snow and gave me a snow day the day after.

December 1, 2010...clearly he was as thrilled as I was. Haha. We marked "1 year" by decorating the Christmas tree.

And, he was learning to crawl.



Today...December 1, 2011. Getting into trouble. He knows he isn't supposed to be standing in the recliner.

Never mind the crazy eyes. He also knows he isn't supposed to stand on that seat. And, yes...I took this picture as he was driving past me. :)

Today is also 34 weeks for Miss Anna. Her little feet are KILLING my ribs...but it's more than ok with me! :) I've been having contractions, but nothing that doesn't go away with water and rest. Some swelling, but NOTHING like I had with Davis. Hallelujah!

Me and my boy. I love that he likes to kiss my nose; and my belly. :) And, yes...in honor of diagnosis day, I wore my redefining spina bifida shirt. Actually, I wore Brandon's shirt...mine doesn't fit anymore.

And, because it was funny to me, here's a close-up of the sign B made.
