Christmas 2008

We had so much fun this Christmas. Matt's parents came down from Idaho and spent the week with us. We had a lot of fun, and of course Asher loved every minute of it. Carrie and her family were here too. He and Haley, Carrie's 3 year old, played so well together. It was fun to watch. Every time they'd see each other Asher would get excited and go, "Haley!!! I missed you!" I don't think he got a full nap for over a week, but it was worth it to be able to spend so much time with family that we don't always get to see.

We had such a fun Christmas, Asher asked for train tracks all day for about 3 weeks, so it was fun to watch him open and play with all of his things. Next year will be different so it was fun to just focus on him. Although I'd have to say the girls got way more stuff than he did. Thanks everyone for everything, everyone has been so generous and I think we can have the babies now! (I wish)

I've started going into Doctor's appointments about once or twice a week now. It's been fun having so many ultrasounds. I think Matt wants to do ultrasounds for a living. He can read those things as clearly and quickly as our techs. Except for when he told me that he thinks baby b has a clef lip. Turns out he was wrong and the babies are still good!

The babies and I are doing really good. They're already getting big. One of them is just under 5 lbs. and the other is over 4 lbs. I still have over a month left and they'll probably each grow about a half a pound a week from here on out. So I'm really in for it this month! The babies also both have hair. I'm getting so uncomfortable. I have good and bad days. The other day I pinched a nerve and could barely walk. Today's been good, I worked about 5 hours and went shopping. I'm paying for it now, but I'm doing good.

We're looking forward to this new year. We've already started the year out with a bunch of big changes. I think it's what needed to happen to get ready for our crazy life this year!
