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.

Hi Vesti,
I stumbled upon your blog, and reading few of the entries has given me a very meaningful inside perspective about having a child affected by spina bifida. I am inspired by your courage and touched by the pictures of your family that I had to reach out. My name is Courtney Beyer, and I am the new Study Coordinator at VitaPath Genetics. Earlier this year, we successfully completed the first phase of our landmark study looking at the genetic factors contributing to spina bifida. In conjunction with our academic collaborators at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI), Stanford, UC Berkeley and UCSF, we recruited over 1,000 women and their child affected by spina bifida to participate.
Our first phase produced promising results but, we believe that it is appropriate for us to replicate this study in a second, independent group of mothers. We are beginning our second study in early January and are reaching out to more mothers to participate. In order to reach as many women as possible, I would very much appreciate if you could include news about the study in your blog. I also have banners and buttons if you would like to post something on your site. In addition it would be great to connect with you via facebook (search SB Genetics) and twitter @sbgenetics.
I would like to get in contact with you to share more information and answer any questions that you may have. Please email me at CBeyer@vpgenetics.com and visit www.sbgenetics.org. This website gives an in depth explanation of the study as well as a link if you are interested in enrolling. Thank you for taking the time to read my note and I am greatly looking forward to being in contact.
Warmest regards and happy holidays,
Courtney
