Pirate boy...

I walked into the living room and this is what I saw. Tobin, no shirt on, wearing a pirate eye patch, pirate hat and sitting next to Elmo.

I asked him, "What are you doing?"

He responded, "Elmo pirate!"

I'm not sure if he IS an Elmo pirate, or he's just playing Elmo pirate. Either way, I thought he was super cute. I sure am glad Santa gave him boy dress up clothes to play with. He loves them!

Elmo Dance

For Christmas Tobin recieved an Elmo LIVE from his Papa and Nonny. He has been our form of entertainment since Christmas. I shot a short clip of Tobin entertaining everyone when we were in Arkansas. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I will TRY to keep the Elmo videos to a minimum. ;)

Tobin's Reaction on Christmas Morning

On Christmas eve, my wonderful mother in law gave me a "flip" video camera. Can I say this is the best thing on the planet? It truly is amazing. We captured Tobin's 1st reaction on Christmas morning, and just HAD to share it with everyone. Enjoy! I hope you all have a very merry Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Mary

As I stare at my baby belly
I think about her.
The woman who carried Jesus
On that night, so long ago.

I’m curious of her demeanor.
I ponder her pain.
I am visioning a woman
With very little to gain

Did she know the huge impact
Her son would soon bring
On a world centuries away
How we’d celebrate this day?

Could she know we’d sing carol’s
Or decorate a tree
How we’d sing happy Birthday
To her son, the True King?

So on this Christmas Eve
I thank God for sending
His son, the Christ Jesus
So I could come to be…

Staring at my baby belly
Thinking about her.
The woman who carried Jesus
On that night, so long ago.

The Countdown to Baby Girl Begins...

I went to the doctor today and everything went wonderfully. My blood pressure was 116 over 68, and I was down one pound! Yippee! I have to gloat for a moment and tell you that I am very proud of myself, especially in this holiday time, for watching my calories and making good choices. Okay, now that I stepped off my soap box... The countdown starts! My Doctor officially scheduled my c-section today! That's right- if I don't go into labor first, she will come on February 5th! I was kind of hoping he would do it the week before, but I'm okay with it. So, I have 6 weeks and 3 days until her arrival... unless she decides differently. Considering how I was induced 41 weeks with Tobin I am guessing she won't decide to come early. I guess we will just see.

Tonight is the Christmas party for our Northwest OKC campus staff/wives. I am super excited about it. I wish I wasn't so exhausted, but I AM eight months pregnant ;) Tomorrow starts all the festivities for Christmas eve- service number one at 7pm. Come join us at Lifechurch.tv if you want to see a great service! I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas week. I must force myself to enjoy everything, and not stress out. After all, I don't think baby Jesus would be stressing out about all the things we stress over during Christmas week. MERRY CHRISTMAS WEEK! Make some great memories with your friends and families!

33 weeks

Tonight we headed to the Edmond campus of Lifechurch.tv for the annual "Christmas Drums" performance. We let Tobin sit through service with us, and he had a great time! I wore my Christmas shirt that my Grammy made for me this Christmas, and it's so comfy and cute! I love it! Tony thought we looked so cute tonight in our Christmas attire, that he took our photo in front of our tree. Although, you can't see much tree with me covering it ;) Anyway, no lipstick or eye makeup, but that's okay, I guess. I have a lot to do before Christmas, I can't believe it's only 3 days away! Eeek! I hope you enjoy this Christmas week for every moment that it's worth!
33 weeks

PS- I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow... I'll update everyone if anything changes. But we only have 3-6 weeks left to go! I cannot believe it!

Pillow Talk

Where's Tobin?

Peep Eye!

He loves collecting ALL the pillows around the house and hiding. He learned "peep eye" from his Nonny. Now, there's no more "Peek A Boo". He LOVES being scared, and loves scaring others. I just had to take some photos today when he was playing his routine out for me! Have a great weekend!
