36 Weeks

I only have 25 days left until my due date and I am still hoping he comes sooner. But it is crazy to think I am that close. This pregnancy went by much faster than the first. I am more than ready to have the baby. I get more uncomfortable every day. It is getting harder to fit in any of my clothes. Even my maternity overalls are getting too small and they have been the only pants I could wear for the last 3 months. My belly hangs out of all of my shirts. I don't think they make maternity clothes to accommodate the end of the pregnancy. I am going to the doctor weekly now and next weekend we have another sonogram to check the kidneys again. Everything else is going really good.

Here is a picture of my big belly.

Sonogram

We had a doctor appointment today and had another sonogram. This was our fourth sonogram. We have been checking the kidneys because they have been dilated. The left kidney is still dilated so we will be having another sonogram in 4 weeks. While doing the sonogram I asked the lady if we could see his face. While we were looking at it she said she would do a 3D view and she printed a picture for us. Everything else is going good. The doctor said the baby appears to be a little on the big side. Now I am really hoping to have the baby early so he doesn't get too much bigger. Here is the recent picture of baby Dade.
We had a good Christmas. We got to open all our presents in the morning before Drew had to go to work that afternoon. Then we had our Christmas meal the next day. Landen enjoyed playing with all his toys while Drew played with the new Wii. New Years was good. Drew had to work on New Years eve and got home at 10:00 so we stayed up to greet the New Year then went to bed. Drew also had to work on New Years so I stayed home bored with Landen.

Drew goes back to school on the 12th. We have been enjoying having him home in the mornings. Landen grows so much everyday. We bought new shoes for him about a month ago, that were way to big for him figuring we would have awhile before he wore them. But now they are the only ones that fit. He learns so many new words everyday and is doing better at trying to make sentences. I can't believe we are already in 2009. Another year of memories gone and a new year for more memories to come.

Christmas Pictures

Merry Christmas

We were going to try to have pictures done in time to send out Christmas cards but it didn't work so here is our Christmas picture.
We let Landen play in the snow the other day while Drew was shoveling the side walk. They had a little snow ball fight. Of course Landen won.
Landen was helping me decorate some cookies and was trying to eat it instead of help.

We took Landen sledding today and he had a lot of fun.

Lightning McQueen

We were driving around doing some shopping and we had the movie Cars on for Landen to watch. It had just started and Landen got all excited and yelled "McQueen" and right after made the noise "choooowwww" like McQueen says. It was so funny he always says "McQueen" when he sees him but he has never tried to say "Cachow" like McQueen says. We were laughing so much. He loves his McQueen.

Graham Cracker House

We made Gingerbread Houses with Graham Crackers. It was a lot of fun. Landen had fun but I think he liked eating the candy way better. I would give him some candy to put on the house and he would shove it in his mouth as quick as he could before I could stop him. Also he would put his head down next to the table and try to sneak it in his mouth.
