Hope everyone is having a safe and Merry Christmas. I know we are. We are having a VERY White Christmas. This first I can remember like this. All of our Church services were cancelled and my parents can't ever remember that happening. Needless to stay we are stuck inside for awhile. I just feel bad for those who weren't able to spend Christmas with their families because of the snow.

I am 30 weeks exactly today. I feel like I am getting very large and that Avery is running out of room. It hurts when she moves now. I have been having some on and off contractions so I have been trying to take it easy. I will be talking to the doctor about it at my next appt. Other than that I am sleeping as well as can be expected. I just can't believe that I only have 10 more weeks to go!!!

How far along? 29 weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss? 5 pounds as of my last appt (last Tuesday).
Maternity clothes? Oh, yes.
Stretch marks? No new ones, I think but I have a feeling they are coming. I have been feeling a lot of stretching this week.
Sleep: Not the greatest, but I'll take what I can get.
Best moment this week: The week being over and starting my week long vacation!
Movement: Oh yes, you can see and feel her moving! I was starting to get a little worried the other day because she wasn't moving very much, but luckily that didn't last very long.
Food cravings: none.
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Lots of Braxton Hicks, but nothing more.
Belly Button in or out? Top is out, bottom is in.
What I am looking forward to: Heading to Hanover and Centralia tomorrow for Christmas. I get the WHOLE week off!!!
Weekly Wisdom: It takes a lot of stomach muscles to sneeze. I have been sneezing constantly for the last two days and I am so sore. Ah I hate colds.
Milestones: Making it in to my final trimester!!! Not too much longer to go before we get to meet our beautiful little girl.

So, I can't get any pictures to post right now. I'll try again tonight.

This past weekend my family came to see us in KC. My mom, sisters and I made cookies all day Saturday while the guys went Christmas shopping. I had a blast hanging out with my mom and sisters. Braylon liked helping out also. He loved my mom's Kitchen Aid Mixer, anytime he heard it come on he was in the kitchen. Then later that night aunt Rosie helped him decorate some sugar cookies.

On Sunday we headed to Silver Lake for our Feldkamp Christmas. Braylon had a lot of fun playing with his little cousins and opening his first present of the year.

Braylon has been afraid of Santa for quite some time. He wouldn't go near him last year, so I have been working with him this year so that I could get a picture. Wednesday night we went to the mall in hopes of getting Braylon's picture with Santa. We did!! There was NO line and we got right in. Braylon didn't like it by any means, but he wasn't screaming or crying. :) I think it was a success!!

We are heading to Hanover tomorrow for a few days and then to Centralia next Wednesday for the rest of the week. Chris, Braylon and I are looking forward to a nice, relaxing week with our families.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas!!

(I'll try and post some pictures tonight!)
