Christmas Day and Belly Post - 34 weeks

On Christmas day, Chase and I went out to my Aunt and Uncle's house for our family get-together. We had such a great time visiting with everyone. The house was filled to the max with adults and kiddos...it was WONDERFUL!!

I'm using this picture as my 34 week belly picture because it's the only one we took together on Thursday. Brantley Rae is really growing and starting to stick out big time. I can't wait for her to get here. I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me a good report. BR's heart rate was 147bpm, which Dr. S said was perfect. I had an ultrasound to see what position she was in because Dr. S was having trouble figuring it out just by looking at my belly. Thankfully, BR is head down but she's facing the wrong way. Please pray with us that she stays head down but turns so that she's facing my back. (This will make her exit much easier on us both.)

I start my weekly visits this coming Tuesday since I will be almost 36 weeks. Ahh!! It's getting SO close, Chase and I can hardly stand it!!!

This is my most wonderful cousin, Andrea that lives in PA with her sweet little family. She and her husband, Jeremy have 2 boys, Judah(3) and Elijah(10 months). The boys are totally adorable and I can't wait for their little family to continue to grow even more one day!! This is their sweet Judah. It's he adorable!! He had hurt his elbow and wasn't feeling all that great but check out this sweet smile he gave Chase for this picture. So adorable!!
Brantley Rae got the activity mat, Bumbo seat/tray and AUBURN piggy bank for Christmas from her Granddaddy & Bebe. They also gave us diapers, which we are VERY thankful for as well. The cute little socks were given to her by my cousin, Leigh Ann and my Aunt Brenda. We love it all and are very thankful for every thing we received this year for Christmas.

Just to document (not that anyone else cares to know):
Chase got a new truck, yes we traded the Jeep so now he has a manly/Daddy vehicle. Yay!! It's a white Nissan Titan. Just call us the White Nissan family. hehe! He also got a new head shaver, Frogg Toggs, and lots of dress shirts he can wear to church. He really needed new shirts so we are very thankful for all of them. Oh and he got about 4-5 different flashlights. Haha! We'll be prepared if the power goes out now. :o)

I got a new laptop! It's awesome!! Now when Brantley Rae gets here and I start making videos of her with our new video camera I'll be able to upload and post them with my new computer since the last one wouldn't work. Yay!! I also got a pair of skinny jeans and Ugg boots, Microsoft Office to go with my laptop, nursing PJ's, maternity clothes, slippers and a few other things. Oh, my parents bought us our glider but it hasn't been delivered yet. Hopefully, it will come be here in the next week or so.


We had a wonderful Christmas this year and are very thankful for everything we were given. We are also thankful to God that he sent down his son to live and die for our sins. What an amazing gift that we were given so long ago. Thank you Lord for your everlasting love!


We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas as well.
