Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma D!

Happy Birthday to our amazing Mom/Grandma D! Hope you have a wonderful day. We can't wait for you to come to visit us and meet Baby D!!! We are anxiously waiting for you; only 4 more days!!

Love you!

3rd Trimester

Well, hopefully this baby will decide to come out soon. But here's what happened in the final months of Baby D's pregnancy:

• I've been really lucky as I'm almost 40 weeks and am still comfortable
• Sleep = a bit challenging.  Every 2-3 hour bathroom breaks during the night don't make for a very good night's sleep (poor Chad and Ziggy too)
• Baby D is a kicker! I could definitely tell when baby was getting stronger because those 'cute' kicks began to hurt
• Baby has lots of hiccups. I usually feel hiccups at least once a day
• The nursery is complete but has only been seen by Nikki, Chas and Chad. I am SUPER excited to see the room!!! Chad changed the lock on the door and hid the key; so even if I've been tempted, I haven't been able to look. I am curious though; I did test the handle a couple of times to just make sure it was locked :-)
• I have still been lazy! - that's been a constant throughout this pregnancy
• Luckily my hubby has been awesome! I haven't felt any nesting but I think he has as he's been such a huge helper in the cooking/cleaning department
• 8 p.m. is usually the baby's most active time. I like to just sit in my chair at that time and watch my stomach change shapes. It really is amazing to watch.

All in all, a great pregnancy - now it's just time for a healthy baby and we are all set!

How Sweet..

Look at this gift made by Paige. How sweet is this?!? I think someone is excited for her new cousin to come!

Happy Birthday Mom/Grandma C!

Happy Birthday to our wonderful mother! Doesn't look like Baby D will be sharing your birthday as far as I can tell from this day so far... but he/she can't wait to meet you and celebrate!!!

Love you!

Thank You!

Thank you to my awesome co-workers who made this cute diaper cake...

Thank you everyone! You guys are great!!!!

We'll miss you Kujo

 

Here's to a full and happy life spent with two people that provided you with everything a dog could want....and then some.

You will be missed.

But our house feels the same way!

Ziggy lost his best friend:

And Kujo you definitely will be missed!

37 Weeks

I remember thinking at 30 weeks.. "wow, I don't think I could get much bigger.".....

I was wrong!

But luckily I've been comfortable and feeling great. Let the countdown to Baby D's birth begin!

Dschaak Christmas

On Christmas Day we drove to Grand Forks to spend the day with the Dschaaks at the hotel. We had a great day of swimming, opening gifts and just hanging out having fun.

Love this picture of Parker!

Paige had to open the biggest present first

But surprise, there were just more wrapped boxes inside

Skyping with Grandma and Grandpa D

Playing with the new toys

Swimming

Paige going down the slide (like 50 times)

Tired after swimming, thank goodness for technology (notice Parker is watching a movie on the Kindle while playing a game on Chas's phone)

 The next day we went to the water park for more swimming:

I think fun was had by all! Merry Christmas to everyone, we hope you all had as wonderful of a holiday as we did!
