Baby F Update

Meike's second appointment on Dec 2 went well.  All signs were healthy.  The baby's heartbeat was 163 bpm.  On Jan 6, Meike had her third appointment.  Again everything looked good with the blood results from last time.  The baby's heartbeat was 150 bpm.  Our next appointment will be on Feb 3 for the middle of the pregnancy ultrasound.

Today, we picked up the BOB Revolution stroller and infant carrier attachment from REI.  We even found out which infant car seat/carrier we will be getting after some talk with a very helpful guy at Buy Buy Baby.

Christmas 2010

This year we spent Christmas in Garland.  On Christmas Eve, we went to my parents house for our traditional dinner of fajitas and tamales.  Then we all opened a few presents and enjoyed one of many desserts mom made.  There was Mississippi mud cake, caramel popcorn, red velvet cake, pecan prailines, chewy chocolate cookies, rice krispies, and a few more, I think!

Then on Christmas morning Santa came and brought more gifts for the kids and filled all the stockings with lots of candy.  Can't say I have had much restraint either.  My mom fixed the traditional sausage balls for everyone.  Aunt Liz, my cousin Steven and his girlfriend Taylor came over for some sausage ball action and presents with the kiddos.
