I'm hoping to make it until Jan. 3rd (35 wks), so I'm in the same boat: no Christmas cards this year and minimal decorations. But nothing can be as fun as getting a baby for Christmas. :)Nate, Kris, Adrianna and Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368600699732729155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32616842.post-13978459162833022692010-12-14T14:47:39.620-05:002010-12-14T14:47:39.620-05:00I'm plugging for a girl! Yeah Noel! (or Noel...I'm plugging for a girl! Yeah Noel! (or Noelle as we spelled it!) =) And I must agree whole-heartily with Beth . . . it was really neat being pregnant during that time of year (despite the fact that you lose some of the thrill over the worry that you may be in the hospital or that everything will get done when it's suppose to or not to mention the years afterwards that the child will have to fight for some recognition for her birth . . . which is already the case for poor Claire born on the 21st - ugh!) God is always good and is ALWAYS on the throne - a true comfort through the little details!

I'm just thinking "Isaiah" is going to come SOON! It just has to be. Kate and Isaac. Kate and Isaiah. I'm just saying... very similar, and our Isaac was born in December too! For Kate's sake (and yours) I'm hoping for a girl though. :) GOOD FOR YOU for not knocking yourself out with the details though- all the traditions and such.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17389674787197448810noreply@blogger.com
