We went to Birmingham for almost a full week to celebrate Christmas. It was wonderful to see all the family and everyone get to feel Doubledown kick!! That's right, she started kicking about a week before we left Texas. We were really excited to finally feel her moving around a good bit. Madison, Caroline, Presley Elizabeth Smith (phew) got a ton of cute presents from Santa and the Smiths. Cameron's favorite is probably her all pink, Auburn onesie! I had a lot of favorites: her tiny ballet shoes/socks, some of her precious clothes and this calendar Craig and Charelette got us. It has stickers for every event in her life (first tooth, visiting a special friend, first day trip, etc.) I can't wait to watch her experience all these new things.... it'll be here before we know it!
While we were registering a few weeks ago, we found the cutest, girly bedding! Here's a picture.... I love the sheets (pink polka dots!!) The skirt is the stripes and the bumper is the other pattern. Thanks Mal and Dal for our bedding.... We get the crib this week and I can't wait to do the whole bed up! Although, we will probably wait a bit because if we do it now, the cats will just think it's somewhere else for them to sleep. Phil has already started bringing her toys from the nursery down the stairs one by one. Each morning we wake up to see a new toy of hers that he's just discovered.... not sure how we're going to get him to quit that other than just keeping her door closed.
And finally....the belly picture everyone's been waiting for! This is after work, so a little rough, but she's growing, that's for sure! Or it may just be the 8 ice cream balls with homemade hot fudge that Lea made for me while we were in B'ham. Either way, she's a full pound now!
We go back to the Dr. on Jan. 15 and we get our 4D ultrasound that same afternoon. I can't wait to get another ultrasound and get to see her again!! We'll definitely post more pictures that afternoon from the ultrasound! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the continued prayers!
