Santa Pictures!

We took Eve to the tree lighting festival in our town last night. Overall it was kind of lame, but they did have Santa and she was so excited to see him. She told him she wanted a potty dolly.
Then she pointed out her daddy and told Santa he wanted trains for Christmas.
Then she talked to him for a long time until we finally kept calling her name and she turned so we could take a nice picture.

KSTDT3.

It has been a while since I posted something funny Eve said. Tonight we are watching Rudolph and the snowman said Christmas Eve. She said hey that is my name but he said it wrong. It is Aisling Eve not Christmas Eve.

So Excited!

Eve comes home today from her 10 day trip to Wisconsin with my mom to visit my brother and niece. I cannot wait to see her. In the future I think we will have a 7 day limit on trips away because that was when I hit my breaking point of being desperate to see her. Last night she was so sad on the phone. She said, "Mommy I want to come back to my home so that my whole family is together." Eve loves her family. It has been kind of lonely in the house even though Adam and my Dad are both here. Even my dad said last night when we were out to dinner I really miss Eve. I think all three of us are itching for her to get home. I can't wait to take her out to look at Christmas lights because it is her favorite thing to do. Almost our whole street has decorated already. We really need to get on it. She always loves our house the best because it "glows" as she puts it. I seriously think I am going to smother her when I see her. I took off today just so I didn't have to wait until I got home to see her. I can't wait.

We have a winner?

Adam is the worst person in the world to discuss names with he thinks we have for ever to decide. I want a name now. We are a little different in that regard. I was dreading the trip to see his parents for the holidays. I figured his dad would insist all weekend that we name our child some form of Thomas. I am completely opposed and although this might have been funny the first time he mentioned it way back when I was pregnant with Eve it gets increasingly annoying with each one of their grandchildren that are born. I told Adam that he better be prepared to discuss names on the trip there because I wanted to have a name picked out in case he wouldn't let up. A 2 hour car ride is the perfect way to trap your husband into deciding names. 5 minutes into the trip I started going over our potential name list. 30 minutes later we finally made a decision. Our son has a name for now at least...Milo Finn. I am really good at changing my mind 1000 times so we will see if it sticks. My FIL in true fashion within 10 seconds said so are you going to name him Tommy Lee. Adam snapped back at him. No, not going to happen in a nice firm voice. His dad didn't mention it again. I am so proud of Adam. The rest of the kids bow down to him at all times and just let him go on with his egotistical ways but Adam put his foot down for me knowing I would be a crazy lady all weekend if he continued with his Thomas naming fiasco.

I have changed my mind.

I think since taking my link off of my siggy I have weeded out some of the crazies so therefore I will keep my blog public. It seems only normal people read my blog. For those of you that sent me an e-mail I will keep your e-mail in case I ever change my mind so you will be automatically set up.

Gymboree.

Gymboree and I have this love hate relationship. I love some of the clothes there for Eve and I hate what it does to my pocketbook. Adam made me promise not to buy anything else for Eve for Christmas since I have already spent way to much on her. I seriously can't help it. I went online to look at little boy clothes and found the most adorable train clothes ever. Adam is the worlds biggest train junky. He told me to wait until after Christmas to buy anything for the baby because he wanted to be greedy and spend more money on us. I figured fine they will have them on sale by the time that I am allowed to buy them and then I can buy the whole line. (yes I am that bad for a while I couldn't buy anything for DD because she already had one of everything.) Well as I was looking I was on the phone with my mom who said to lay off the toys for Christmas because my niece is in dire need of winter clothing that fits. Her parents are notorious for not getting her clothes that properly fit. 6 year olds should not be wearing midriff shirts in the middle of winter or ever for that matter. So I switch to the big girl section to look at clothes figuring I won't find anything I really like because it has been pretty unimpressive lately forcing to go to my other favorite clothing line of pumpkin patch. Well I get to the page and find this adorable pair of pants with snowflakes on them. I put together a whole outfit and then decide I need one for Eve too. Now when the girls get their picture taken with Santa they will match. They did last year and it was too cute. Seriously my niece and daughter are like sisters who barely see each other. The call each other sister cousin. It is too cute. So I paid enough to get $75 worth of gymbucks which means I can spend $150 and only have to pay $75 during gymbuck time so I will be able to buy the whole boys line I want. Seriously this was the reasoning I used when I went crazy today and spent way more than I should. So if you want to see the super cute outfit my beautiful niece and Eve will be wearing check out the photos.

The baby boys first gift!

All good.

So we went to the Dr. today and got an internal exam where everything looked good. Then we heard the heartbeat and I was much relieved. The Dr. had us go in for an ultrasound just to make sure that the placenta and fluid was ok. It was fine at first they thought I had a low lying placenta but it turns out I was having a contraction that made the placenta cover the cervix and when the contraction stopped the placenta went back to not covering. As an added bonus we found out we are having a boy. I am so happy he looks healthy. He was being a total bugger and didn't want to show his goods and kept putting his hand there so we couldn't see but then she got 2 good pictures of his boy parts. It was really obvious he was a boy the u/s tech froze the picture and I said "It's a boy!" and she confirmed. I am so excited I get to buy all the argyle I could ever dream of but sad that I won't get to dress another munchkin in all of DDs pretty clothes. We go back in 3 weeks to have another u/s so she can measure the heart and do the rest of the measurements. I am so over the moon happy that our little boy is still safe and I hope he stays that way until at least late April. He was measuring 5 days ahead and I am down 2 pounds from my starting weight even though I honestly have been living off of fast food for 2 weeks. (Bad I know.) Apparently this baby takes after my DHs side and has given me the gift of metabolism.
