Ok, well here I am actually doing another post. But I still hope you weren't holding your breath in case I didn't come through!

Just a quick recap of the weekend...

First of all, I FINALLY got the tree decorated. It had been set up in the living room for about two weeks, but I didn't have the energy to decorate it. But Saturday evening, after the kids went to sleep, I forced myself to get motivated. I think it came out pretty nice (although the pictures seem a bit blurry)!


And I think that's a fine spot in our new house for a Christmas tree.

As we've already established, I'll be in the hospital this coming Friday - December 18th, for Evan's 2nd birthday. So we had a little celebration on Sunday afternoon.

Presents!!

Some of the guests included Aunt Ashley, Uncle Richard, Nathan, and Charlotte:

Here's Tyler about to present his gift to Evan (and yes, that IS my ginormous belly behind him, and no, I'm not sure that is how you spell "ginormous".)

Yay!!! A Thomas cuddle pillow!!! Evan loves Thomas!

More Thomas - from Mimi!!!!

There were some great presents. A Thomas boat for the bathtub, an alphabet puzzle, an adorable sweater - all from Fammy and Grandad; a very cool tunnel thingy (I'll have to post pics later so you know what I'm talking about) from Aunt Ashley and crew....

And a bike!!!!!

From Aunties Mae-Beth and Leah!

Then it was time for cake...

Thank you, Super Target Bakery, for the yummy Thomas cake! (are you sensing a theme here???)

YUM!!

I think Evan enjoyed it...

Later, after everyone went home, Daddy helped Evan and Tyler play with the Thomas set from Mimi.

It was a great little party, and we were very glad everyone made the trek over on what was a pretty lousy day, weather-wise. Happy (early) Birthday my precious little boy!!!!

So, tomorrow is the big day. We have to be at the hospital by 8:00 a.m. I'm a little nervous, but I think it's more about being a mother of three than about the surgery itself.... That being said, I'm excited to meet my little girl and see what she looks like! I'm still in shock that it's a girl, and won't quite believe it until the doctor proclaims it when she is born!!

I'll post pictures as soon as I am able! Wish me luck.....
