Sensitivity

I ran to the Dr.'s office yesterday worried because I hadn't felt the baby move and wanted them to check the heartbeat, just in case. Everything is fine! :-) The Dr. was able to pick up baby's heart beat loud and clear with the doppler.

Sawyer was with me and he was so sweet the entire time. He could sense I was worried and kept reassuring me saying, "Everything's going to be ok, Mama. The Dr. will fix you." I couldn't get over how protective and caring he was toward me. My real life little 3 year old angel. His capacity to sense my feelings, even if he doesn't completely understand what's going on, never ceases to amaze me.

Also, while we were in the room waiting for the Dr. to come in, Sawyer told me to sit on the examining table so that the Dr. can check my belly. lol...

I am so proud of you Sawyer.

Love,

Mama

We're having a...

GIRL!!! Cliff and I found out Friday morning at our level 2 ultrasound. We are sooo excited about our new daughter, I can hardly stand it! The minute I saw my baby's face on the screen, I knew immediately she was a girl. Minutes later, it was confirmed! I am still in shock and won't totally believe it until she pops out. We're already 1/2 way there!

School Christmas Program

Sawyer's class had their Christmas program this past Tuesday, December 14th. It was so much fun to see him up on stage singing and performing! Cliff and I were beaming with pride the whole time. Before the show, we weren't sure how he was going to be on stage, whether he'd get stage fright, walk off stage, etc. But, he was fantastic! Sawyer was up front and center in the first row so we got a really good view of him. He sang all of the songs and moved his little arms and hands in tune. He wasn't shy at all and seemed to love having an audience. The entire show was hilarious! All of the kids were absolutely adorable and you could tell that they were all so proud of their performance!

Before the show started, the Director announced that everyone should stay seated in their seats during the performance and not stand up to take pictures so as to not block the people behind them. However, as soon as the kids started marching in to the tune of Jingle Bells, everyone stood up and cameras were flashing everywhere. lol

During the show several kids tried to walk away (as expected with 2-3 year olds), but the teachers quickly guided them back to their positions. You could tell they really enjoyed themselves and seemed to have fun.

The songs they sang were: Christmas Present, Away in a Manger, The Best Present of All, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

We decided to cut Sawyer's hair short. I liked the long hair on him, but I think I love the short hair even more!

Here they are marching in single file with hands on shoulders. They were so incredibly cute! The entire audience broke out in laughter.
