8 Months Pregnant!


I am feeling pretty good in my pregnancy right now. I have a few worries, like the baby's head is up in my ribs right now. I need this little girl to flip for me! And I worry that her birthday will be too close to Christmas. I know that Amelia was 4 days late and I am hoping the same for this one. We recently got a King sized bed! And it has been a dream when it comes to sprawling out and sleeping with extra pillows. There's more than enough room! I am still going on walks with friends and keeping up like normal. No terrible aches or pains. I do completely shut down around 10 pm every night. Like I feel like I can't even move. 

We celebrated St Nick's on December 5th. It is a little tradition we take from Wisconsin. Santa fills our stocking on Dec 5 and in our family, he brings us new ornaments for the tree! We added a Mickey Mouse and Simba ornament this year, to Amelia's delight:

Amelia is just at the best age right now. She is just picking up on colors. Well actually only one color- pink. That's my girl. I am so not a girly girl, but I do love Pink as I grow older and have my girls to dress. She is talking more and more and almost every night when we put her down to bed, I miss her and can't wait to hear the new things she says the next day, or the new toys or games she will want to play. She thinks of the funniest things. I am DYING to see her open her presents. She loves to sing Rudolph, especially when we do all the actions.


I am really trying to teach Amelia about Jesus and I try to explain the story of Christ's birth using her cute Nativity. She definitely recognizes baby Jesus and has been able to identify all pictures of Jesus for a while now. Her mind is just soaking it all in, and I'm glad she's learning the real meaning of Christmas along with all the Santa and tree and presents part. 

Twelve Day of Christmas start tomorrow! I am just so excited! I can't believe it's getting closer and I don't want to miss one moment with my little family.

I was wondering if you guys would still do St. Nicks and I love the ornament idea for the stockings. It's a nice small gift. Addison carries around baby Jesus all the time, it is wonderful to see what they actually understand. You look great and I can really see how short Amelia's hair is after the cut!

You are one of those people that are meant to have a bunch of kids Cami. How nice that you are feeling so great! You have some fun traditions. Amelia is at the perfect age. You have always been so positive about her at every age that I think you've figured out the secret...love every second!

I get so confused with the whole 12 days of Christmas date. I feel like tomorrow is really 11 days until Christmas so I don't get it. Anyway our Elves start tonight too but I feel like they're already a day behind.

Amelia looks so much like you did as a little girl, Cami. She has your eyes and same face shape. Carley just said she loves how you dress. You are always so cute. Merry Christmas. We love the head bands.
