31 Week Update

Well, we have a just about 9 weeks left until Owen arrives and we are FINALLY in the Christmas Spirit! I am feeling MUCH better and Owen seems just as happy as he can be in my belly! It's amazing to me the changes that take place with BOTH of us daily! I have actually lost a couple of pounds (Diabetic Diet) but you can't tell it...in fact you would think the opposite! Owen and I both seem to change shape daily. I am pretty sure he has pushed my stomach up somewhere under my right rib, so it's always a surprise at how I react to food! My ribs take quite a beating from his big feet, but I don't mind...I love to feel him move! It's also really cool to feel his reaction to Baker talking to him! He always moves around when Baker makes funny (and often weird) noises to him:) We just can't wait to see him!!

We had a great visit this past weekend with Baker's mom and Step-Father (Joanie and George, AKA Mimi and Gramps). They bought Owen his cool Play Yard! We had Christmas with them and really had a nice, relaxing weekend! You should see what Baker got!! They (through some really nice connections) found him the Flag that flew on the 18th green at St.Andrews for Jack Nicklaus's last tournament SIGNED by Jack Nicklaus! What a gift!! He was speechless! (I will have to take a picture and post it!!)

We also hosted a Christmas party last night at our house. I think a great time was had by all! My girlfriends and I exchanged gifts and they guys hung out by the fire for most of the night. Two friends brought their CUTE baby boys, so we all passed around the babies all night. They even tried out a few of Owen's things which was so cool to see! I included a photo of Baker and I with Cooper, Chris and Jessica's 13-week old son. My belly was felt by all...Owen got lots of attention!

I also included a pic of Brogen and Luci. Bless their hearts, they get slighted a bit these days with all the Holiday AND baby things going on. They will always be our "first kids" and we love them so much!!!

Finally, you can see Owen's room in progress. Daddy did a great job painting it and we can't wait until all the furniture gets here!! It's going to have lots of cool fishing things!
