Week 35

I'm wearing one of my new shirts from Jacee!

35 weeks! Around 18 in &  5 lb.  {Honeydew Melon}

Heartbeat at Last Appointment: 157

Gender:  Sweet Little Girl

Names:  Ali Noel Prather

Symptoms: I have had tons of Braxton Hicks contractions and I'm moving a little slower then normal. I had to go to Labor and Delivery on Christmas Eve morning {nothing serious} just to check out baby and make sure she was ok after all the sickness.  She was great- I got to see Ali's little hiccups and lots of movement.  UMC was not busy so I was able to peak in and see the new Family Birthing Center.  I left with a bronchitis and flu diagnosis..... Boo! This was not the time I wanted to be passing tests!

Best Moments of the Week: Christmas was different this year.  Mainly because Chris and I were laid up in bed Christmas Eve and Christmas day.  We were out of commission for almost 3 days.  Thank goodness for Nana and Papaw taking great care of Caroline.

On Friday we were both finally feeling better.   

 Caroline and I put together her new book shelf and got a chance to play with all her new toys. 

On Saturday we got to see Lolly & Granddad. Usually we make the trip to see them on Christmas day but I was banned from traveling so we made plans for them to come up later.

For Christmas my parents brought firewood.  Caroline backed her truck up and helped haul a few loads.   

 Aunt Dacee bought Caroline a Doc McStuffins Doctor's kit. 

 Giving Lolly a shot- then she used the pretend scissors to give her a hair cut.

Lolly and Granddad gave her a huge box of legos.  This has made for a very tall tower!

Look at the concentration..... She has that tongue out to help her place that last block on. She also puts her tongue out when she rides her bike, colors with markers and breaks eggs when we are baking..... Pure concentration!
