Yesterday felt a bit like Christmas, when Rob and I set up the bedside sleeper that our landlords are letting us use for the two months that we'll be here in our tiny little basement suite with the baby. Feels so good to have SOMETHING ready, you know, just in case I go into labor next week. Oh! For those of you who have been wondering and/or praying, I had my (hopefully) final ultrasound on Wednesday this week, and the ultrasound technician told me that there is now NO sign of anything wrong with our baby's intestines, and that everything looks 100% normal!! Praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayers!!
(p.s. mom, the three pictures are the ones I was telling you about)

My belly at 31.5 weeks. Eight and a half weeks to go!!
If you look really carefully,
you might see our child kicking my rib cage.

Hey kids, as you can see I've made a couple changes. The links should be functional and I am now an administrator. Any problems you have I can take care of from my own account, so if you want to change your password, you're welcome to do that.

Yes, I'm a doll. You are Soooooooooo welcome. I am Sooooooooooo hungry.

Okay, I couldn't help myself, and had to add a picture of my beautiful neice

Regan Mackenzie to this page. Isn't she the cutest?

Well, after seeing all the Hildebrandt family Christmas photos I figured I should post a few of our own. We spent Christmas in Vernon this year, and I think the fact that we're moving back to MB so soon made it a lot less hard to be away from home than it would have been otherwise. In fact, it's been downright enjoyable, even without snow! Go figure! The hardest thing is not seeing my gorgeous amazing brand new niece Regan in person. *sigh*. Anyhow, here's a little taste of what Christmas was like for us...

And to think Rob used to avoid drumsticks....

Rob and I appear a bit sleepy after a day

of food and presents. Poor us.

Susan (Rob's mom) and Aunt Nancy were teens.

Doesn't look very 'Christmas-y', does it?

Here's Rob, decorating the tree, doing his best to put all the ornaments in one little cluster together so that I'll have to redo the whole thing to please my perfectionistic eye.
