Still Waiting
For all you curious readers there is still no baby. She is officially 3 days overdue. I know its only been 3 days but it seems like its been forever already, especially when I am chasing a 2 year old everyday while carrying around this big baby! Hopefully she will make her appearance soon.

Happy Anniversary!
Well still no baby but today is our anniversary so atleast we have something fun to celebrate. I would just like to say Happy Anniversary to my wonderful and handsome husband. 3 years ago today I had the privilege of marrying Kreg. I consider myself a blessed woman. I just thought I would share a few pictures to commemorate the occasion.
Hard to believe we got married in January by the looks of these pictures. It was such a beautiful day...atleast a high in the 50s. I never would have imagined in three years we would be where we are today but I am thankful. God has been good to us.

No Baby Yet
Well for those of you out there wondering there is still no sign of baby yet. Hopefully she will be here soon because I think we are all starting to get a bit antsy. But I have been blessed over the last few days to have friends and family to hang out with so that has helped pass the time. If you live in the area or close by and you'd like to come help me pass the time feel free to call or just stop by.
Saturday night Kreg, Aiden, and I were feeling a bit silly so we took a few random pictures I will share. I have no idea why Aiden decided to put the glasses on but the more we laughed the more he wore them.
I love this picture of Kreg and Aiden!
look at that belly!

Aiden's 2nd Birthday Party
Yesterday we had a little birthday party for Aiden to celebrate the big 2!Wow....where did the last two years go? His birthday isn't actually until Wednesday (the 7th) but he didn't know that and it was much easier to have a party on a Saturday. I think Aiden's favorite part was just having so much family here. He is quite the social bug. The festivities started around lunch time with a party platter from Subway, followed by presents, and then some yummy homemade sugar cookies (which Kreg even helped me decorate). I really wanted to have a birthday party for Aiden before baby girl arrived so I guess since that has been accomplished she can now come anytime! Although I would prefer she doesn't come Wednesday so they each can have their own special birthday but if she comes, she comes.
Aiden and his cousin Luke. He was soooooo excited that Luke was here to play with him all day.
Presents!!!
And finally cookies!! This boy LOVES cookies so I didn't figure a cake was the way to go. Looks like he enjoyed them.
Aiden has made quite a few "big boy" strides in the last month. He no longer has his paci and he is officially in a big boy bed now. He is actually doing really well with it. It's a double bed we put on the floor so he looks so small when we put him to bed. He's been very good about staying in bed too, which I am very much thankful for. He is also starting to tell us when he has a dirty diaper (this includes going to retrieve a clean diaper, laying down without being told to, and then throwing the old diaper away all by himself). I know you may not have cared to know that but its pretty big stuff around here. I think he will be a good big brother, besides being a bit jealous to start with I'm sure.

37 weeks and counting
A big thank you to Kreg's brother, Kent, for getting our computer temporarily up and running! Now I have no excuses for not posting pictures so here we go......
I think I promised a prego picture a while back:
The baby is quite active. We are pretty much ready for her now, which means she will more than likely take her time and be here late :)
Here are a couple of pictures I took of Aiden this morning. I couldn't resist because of the fantastic bed head. He is in the middle of his second bowl of cheerios and just yesterday he figured out he is supposed to say "cheese" when we take a picture of him, thus the "cheesy" smile.
At the beginning of December we got a couple inches of snow so Aiden got to go out and play for the first time.

Exciting Times
Well I have much to be excited about this week. Let me just list off some of those items for you.
1. Tomorrow (after 8 years) I am getting a new car! That's right! I can hardly believe it. I'm joining the ranks of "mini van moms." And I'm absolutely delighted about it. Kreg's grandpa has decided to get a new van before they head to Florida for the winter so they are selling their 2006 Chrysler to us at a really good price! Woooooohoooooooooo! My 95 Mazda has been a great car and its always gotten me where I want to go but I was not excited about trying to fit two carseats in the backseat of that thing. My car is our "family car" i.e. Kreg's truck is really nice but it may often have a piggy smell and its a pain to change the carseat back and forth so we always just leave it in mine. Anyway, with the infant seat in the car the front passenger would have had to sit with their knees practically touching the dashboard. Yikes! But now I get my very own van with lots of room, a huge space for my double stroller and my groceries, and a car with doors that open at a touch of a button on my key!
2. Aiden has been sick for almost 2 weeks and I think we are officially over it. It started out as a cold over Thanksgiving and then lead to two bad ear infections. And he has been teething. And the antibiotic he was on gave him horrible "runs." And I mean horrible! But yesterday we actually had a good diaper and he sneezed a few times with no snot rockets! I know disgusting but I'm really excited. And he was happy and played like my normal little boy again.
3. The pacifier is offically gone. I'm so glad that transition is over with and he did so much better then I thought he would. I thought we would have long hours of screaming but we didn't. We had a week of transition. He knew something was missing but wasn't sure what and he would cling to me when we put him to bed and try and throw his legs over the side of the crib. This is not normal for him. He use to just lay down, roll over, and go to sleep without a peep. But its been getting better and last night he layed down with no tears and went to sleep! Woooohoooooo and we didn't hear him all night. When we first took it away he would wake up and cry for a few minutes in the middle of the night.
4. The new baby room is starting to take shape. Last night Kreg put together my new changing table. I can't wait to get it all decorated. Only 6 more weeks til baby day (January 20th).
5. It's Christmas! And I love presents. I love giving presents and I love receiving presents. And I love all the sitting around with family.
6. Friday I am going to my mom's to hang out with my mom, my sister-in-law, and one of my best friends (Cari) to bake Christmas Cookies! And I get to drive my new van down there.
7. Ok so after I bake cookies I get to leave Aiden at my mom's house for the weekend. Kreg and I get a whole weekend for ourselves. And Kreg doesn't have to work in the barns this weekend. We can actually sleep in if we want Saturday and still have time to read and study our Bible's without being interrupted by a little one. I may even get breakfast out at Bob Evan's! I LOVE their multi-grain cinnamon pancakes.
So as you can see lots to be excited about this week. I just thought I would share so anyone who reads this could be excited with me.
