2010

Sorry it's been SO long since the last post... it's been crazy with all my appointments, and getting everything ready for Asher's arrival!!

I am getting VERY large- and hopefully I can get one last picture before he comes on the 22nd of THIS month : )

Ruben is getting SO BIG, and taking in EVERYTHING- he makes Sandor and I SO proud to be his parents... We took him sledding for the first time and he LOVED it!! We had a lot of fun : )

Sandor has been working with Ruben on the difference between loaders, graters, and everything else in-between!! Sandor will ask him to get his grater- and he will, truck, and so on... AMAZING!

The other day the 3 of us were sitting on the bed, and Ruben took my cell phone and put it up to his ear- Ruben says 'hello', then proceeds to chatter, and jabber... after this goes on- I ask him "Ruben, who are you talking to?" Ruben responds "PA PAW"!! hahaha Sandor and I just cracked up... Ruben sure does LOVE his Pa Paw : )
Pa Paw and Meme were the ONLY reasons Ruben would leave the house last night! I am SO blessed to have my family right up the street...

Sandor took Ruben to get his 2nd haircut today- and he did FANTASTIC!!! Sandor said Ruben just sat there, didn't fidget or cry. He just held his truck the whole time : ) I AM SO PROUD OF MY BIG BOY!!!

Well I go into the hospital the night of the 21st to have my blood sugar monitored, and FIRST thing the morning of the 22nd, Asher Jude will make his appearance!! YAY!!! I am SO excited : )

Christmas in HOMER!

This last weekend we went to Homer to celebrate Christmas with Sandor's family! It was an awesome time, and we enjoyed spending time with the family- unfortunately it was short. Ruben had a great time opening presents, then being able to play with them!! I had so much fun watching Sandor and Ruben open their presents...

This was the LAST time we would be able to go down to Homer until after Asher is born!! I am on the countdown and I have a month to go!!! I am SO ready to have Asher- he is a BIG baby, and I...AM...MISERABLE! I have 20+ appointments until he comes, so my stress level is a little high. Sandor and I were talking about our 'to-do checklist' before the big day, and it seems I don't have enough time to finish them all. On Jan. 4th, I have an ultra sound to guess on Asher's weight. I will definitely update and let you all know!

Sandor and I have one present to get Ruben, and a stocking stuffer for Jordan, then we will be ALL done! BUT we have to wrap all of Ruben's presents, and I have the last of Sandors to wrap as well! I am going to be baking for our family Christmas lunch! I cannot wait until I get to enjoy this holiday : )

My brother Jordan flew in Sunday night!! I missed him a lot- BUT I have yet to see him... so we are making it a point to go over to my parents house and spend some time with him! I am glad that he is home, but he leaves a week before Asher delivery. So he won't be able to see Asher until May :'(

We took Ruben to the Christmas pageant this year! HE LOVED IT!! He wasn't too sure about all the costume animals during the "Winter Wonderland" before the pageant, but he LOVED the music and lights!! Pa Paw, Meme, and Auntie Ellie were all in it!! Pa Paw was a wise man, Meme was Mrs. Clause, and Ellie was in a black bear costume...

Well I hope you all have a GREAT CHRISTmas and Happy New Year!! I will talk to you soon with updates on Asher, and the pregnancy!!
