We've been busy around here getting everything ready for Christmas. The house is decorated inside and out, all of the presents are bought, Christmas cards have been mailed, packages have been sent, and I've been wrapping presents like crazy! I hope to be done with the wrapping soon because I like to just sit back and enjoy the last couple of weeks before Christmas. I still have some baking to do, but I'm not sure how much will get done. I have a cookie exchange next week which I'm really excited about, but I've decided I'm not going to kill myself trying to make tons of stuff this year. I think having two kids and being 31 weeks pregnant at Christmas gives me an excuse to take it easy this year, right??
I had a doctor's appointment today. I am 28 weeks and 4 days. The contractions have already started just as they did with my first two babies, so my midwife checked me today to make sure they weren't causing me to progress. Things look good so far, but she said with things following the same pattern as the last two, she is expecting to deliver a baby at 37 weeks. This has tentatively been our plan all along, but she was hoping everything would look good and we could try to let me go full term. She said today that she is pretty positive that's not going to happen. We are going to start weekly ultrasounds and non-stress tests at 35 weeks. So, that means little Amelia may be here in 8.5 weeks!! I need to take a deep breath because that seems unbelievable!
Santa will be working all night to get Ava and Audrey's room ready for Christmas morning. That means we have to get busy on Amelia's room right after Christmas. Thinking about putting Christmas decorations away, decorating a nursery, washing baby clothes, getting all of the baby stuff ready again, etc. makes me tired. :) I need that nesting boost of energy. I learned today that despite taking iron pills once a day, I am still anemic. This might explain my lack of energy. I'm really hoping the boost in iron will give me a boost in energy as well.
I know everyone really comes here for pictures, but that would require that I actually plug my camera into the computer to see what new pictures I have to share. I promise I'll do that soon, but it's not happening today. You'll all be on picture overload again soon with Christmas, a New Year's wedding, Ava's birthday in January, and then Amelia's birth. Check back soon because I'm picking up the pictures of the girls' with Santa on Saturday. Even though I haven't seen them yet, I can promise you that Audrey's reaction to Santa will not disappoint!

Kimberly, I can SO relate to this post! I am 33 1/2 weeks pregnant and have a lot of our "Christmas-y" things done, but I am exhausted just thinking about "un-Christmasing" in a few weeks while still trying to keep up with Samuel with this watermelon in my belly and getting all the final preparations ready for Baby Bethany. I am tired with you. :-) So thankful all seems to be going well with your pregnancy!
