Christmas time 2012

To say December was uneventful would be a major understatement... I was admitted into the hospital on the 7th for pre term labor, Miss Audrey was trying to make her debut, WAY to early. So Chaz and I took up residence at the hospital on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Thankfully my contractions stopped and my cervix started to behave so I was released to come home and be on bed rest in my own bed...yay for getting to come home, but boo for not being able to move, or sit, or stand or pick up my boy. I am now on my 4th week of bed rest and to say I am going stir crazy, would be a major under statement. Chaz has been great, and I think Colton likes it because I will lay in bed and watch Mickey mouse with him for as long as he wants. 

Christmas was great, Colton was super excited about opening gifts this year, his facial expressions and sound effects were priceless. I am thankful I was a major over achiever this year because I put up all of our Christmas decor in early November (don't judge) and was done will all of our Christmas shopping by December 1st. 

Colton got to attend a Christmas party this year, I was super jealous. Apparently he was a big hit.

 This picture was taken on New Years Eve, Colton was with our Babysitters parents, I am worthless because I can't do anything and Chaz was sick. So very thankful for all of the help we have with him. He obviously hasn't skipped a beat with ol' mom being out of commission.

I absolutely love his smile, and him so much. Hopefully (fingers crossed) he will be a great, protective and sweet big brother. I will be 35 weeks on Sunday and will be off of bed rest at 36/37 weeks, so the end is definitely in sight. Chaz will be out of town on business at the end of my 36th week, prayers please that nothing major happens while he is gone, and that Audrey stays put until she is at least 37 weeks cooked. The last thing I want is for her to have to go into the NICU once she is born. 

Well thats all I got for now, big doctors appointment this afternoon and then a sweet little baby shower for Audrey and I on Saturday. Love to all and Happy New Year!

Family / Maternity pictures

Wow, I am really behind, so I am going to back track. In November we took family pictures/ maternity pictures. I know it's pretty tacky that these say proof on them but its the best its gonna get for now. Colton was a complete pill, he wouldn't let Chaz touch him and anytime I asked him to look at the camera he would scream. Needless to say it was less then fun, but it was a good thing I planned ahead, if not I would have had to cancel maternity pictures, due to being put in jail...aka bed rest. 

Baby bump with Audrey at 6 months preggo, yes she finally has a name... Audrey Lynn. We finally  decided on Audrey because Chaz and I love how "classic" it is, thank you Audrey Hepburn, and I love that I don't know anyone named Audrey. And Lynn is my moms name and is also Chaz's moms middle name, such a perfect fit!
