Lasagna

A couple of people have asked for Rob's recipe for his lasagna. If I told you what it was then you would have no reason to come by for dinner. Its very hard to give you a recipe, he never makes it the same twice. I can tell you this, be creative with your veggies. Yum.

Elizabeth has turned

Yesterday I finally got to see my Midwife. Its been 4 weeks. The baby is turned and is heads down. She just hasn't dropped at all. This is typical of all my babies, they never drop and that's why delivery is so hard. Please pray that this time I will have a baby that drops. Toni told me a couple of things to do so we'll work on these and see what happens. She's resting on my pelvic bone and toward my back on the nerve. Every time I have a contraction my back goes through spasms all up and down the spine. Its very painful and this is one reason for my lack of energy. So please do pray that she drops soon.

Christmas Dinner

My family all came to my home for dinner. I loved having them all here. Rob made the dinner, his famous lasagna. It was so good. My mom got the kids dress up clothes and Logan paints and paper. It was so nice and relaxing.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas morning. It was a mess here with all the wrapping and presents. We were very blessed this year and are still being blessed each day.

4 weeks since my last midwife visit.

It will be 4 weeks when I finally get to see my midwife. I'm a bit nervous. We still don't know what position the baby is in. I'm 36 weeks and I feel ready. I've been having a lot of painful contractions and I can feel the baby moving and pushing down hard. I'm also at the point we're I'm utterly exausted. I don't want to do anything, one reason is because I can't sleep at night. I hope she stays in there until December 29th. I don't want to go to the hospital. One nice thing is that I don't have to order another birthkit, I still have a ton of stuff from Colton and Alainna's birth and my midwife said she would give me that things I need. Speaking of needing things, I'm still low on onsies; I have no socks and only one pair of pajamas for Elizabeth (all of this is thanks to Jessica). My dear friend Liz Ney is going to put on a baby shower for me on January 9th if anyone wants to come. I registered at Target for a few things. I didn't have a shower for Alainna and then I gave away all her things. Yikes, I wasn't planning on another baby. I knew others needed the clothes then. The shower is at Valley Bible at 6:30, Please call Liz if you can come 253-862-4312.

Snow Pictures

I no longer like the snow

It will be 3 weeks when I see my midwife again. I was supposed to see her this last Tuesday but the snow is so bad at her house. She lives in the hills of Enumclaw so she has a ton of snow. I won't be able to get out there until Monday the 22nd if the weather allows it. I will be at 36 weeks by then and we still don't know what position the baby is in. I'm not worried, I just want to have my check up. Alainna was on her way out at 36 weeks until I went on bedrest to stop the labor. And with Elizabeth she is pushing down so hard. Oh well. The snow is beautiful and the kids had a blast. I'll post pictures tomorrow. That reminds me, I still have to finish my Christmas shopping.... Oh bother.
