christmas at the cottles...

Nope i don't have any of those adorable pictures everyone else has on their blog of Christmas morning with there kids all goopy eye'd and crazy hair'd with HUGE grins! Dangit! Hopefully next year we will have some exciting pictures to post. ha. Christmas morning was great... we got to sleep in and enjoy one anothers company. I woke up to a big surprise under the tree... a huge box (considering ryan said to me "dont get me anything") what the heck you got me something??? Well this big box had a glider in it! Woo Hoo! I was pretty dang excited about it! Along with a thoughtful card and a pedicure! Ryan knows exactly what i need! Unfortunately ry's christmas was a little on the boring or should i say on the practical side as well... ha. New church shirt, socks, slippers, planner, toothbrush and of course a remote control helicopter that came already broken... sorry babe.I did buy us a new camcorder tho... i figured we needed one before the baby gets here! We also got spoiled with a new crib! That i cant wait to set up!!  Thanks MaMa & PaPa Warburton! This Christmas was great spending time with family having our annual omelet breakfast at G&H Warburtons and then going and shoving our faces again with MaMa Cottles Christmas Dinner! As well as find out the great news at the Cottles! Alicia & Chris have also decided to multiply and replenish the earth with us and there cutie is due July 15th! Were so excited!!!!!!

Not to get down on this years Christmas.. it was good. But we are so looking forward to next years Christmas when we will have a little one to hang with that morning! :) Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! Cheers to the new year!

belly pic again?

A little update on the pregnancy? I now look and feel way un-proportioned and i think this picture does that comment justice. I look pretty freakin huge. Cant believe I’m 30 weeks! Still going strong. My doc said there is a chance we could get him to come out a little earlier because i am measuring a little bigger than March 3rd.  Maybe go to Feb. 28th? We will see.

I’m feeling good. Getting stretch marks here and there but what can ya do? And just to answer everyones question. Nope, we haven’t even begun the nursery. Don’t you worry i will inform you when we do and show pics.  I just cant decide what exactly were going to do… yet.

Well were way excited for our little Ryker to come! Especially me! I’m at the un-comfortable stage and would really enjoy life a little more if i could sleep on my belly ha ha. Welp, i’ll keep ya updated as best as i can.
