These were taken this morning. All of us, including daddy, went to the Christmas --make that politically correct--HOLIDAY party at my work today. It was nice for Gabby, I saw a few co-workers, Gabby got to make some ornaments and get a balloon animal, which was the highlight. Oh, and the kids all got a pic with Santa. They didn't really cry either. It's always a bit of chaos with hundreds of kids running around but it was worth it.
In baby news, I'm getting really anxious to meet this little one. I think I can imagine this one as a little person more than the others. With Gabby, I couldn't even imagine what a new human being of my own flesh and blood could possibly be like, so I just felt pregnant. With the twins I was mostly trying to cope with being pregnant with twins and it was so different that I couldn't imagine them either. But with this one, I can feel detailed parts of its tiny body, a little heel sticking out of my belly, a hand every now and again, and I can rub it's booty which is currently stuck in my right rib. It's almost as if I can see it, but since I don't know if it's a boy or girl, there is still lots of mystery. I really want to hold the little stinker and see who s/he looks like. I have it absolutely set in my mind that it's a girl. Whether it's a girl or boy, we don't have names. At least for a girl we have 2 pretty big contenders, but for a boy we are at a total loss. We have exactly 26 days to figure one out, assuming the child doesn't make an earlier appearance. I'm scheduled to be induced on December 28th, my mom's birthday.
We are all having a fun Christmas season so far. Gabby is just delightful and every day we sing Rudolph and Santa is Comin' to Town at least 50x. Her birthday party is this weekend, my big girl is turning 4 on the 12th. I'll have to write about her birth on that day (inspiration from sis, Laura's, recent blogs on her children's birthdays) since it was one of THE BEST MEMORIES of my life. It's such a happy time that sometimes I still think about it when I want to feel happy. More on that later.
I'm hoping Wyatt and Bella will be able to adjust without too much trouble when the new baby comes. I am worried because Bella wants and needs so much attention lately and although Wyatt LOVE LOVE LOVES babies, he will probably need momma time too. It's the same ol' story for all parents of more than one child, I know, but I worry nonetheless--especially since we'll be trapped inside for the next 4 months save the remote instances when I feel the need to torture myself by trying to load all 4 of them into the car with big giant winter coats and a screaming baby. We'll manage, but it will be interesting.
Off to play Pollies with Gabby before bed, remember to smile big in all of your Christmas photos. CHEESE!!
