Pic Overload!!

I haven't posted any new pictures so here they are!.....

This is the kids today, Honor was being a good big sis and making sure Mikey was ok while I vacuumed. It was very sweet.

Baby Update

So I finally got an appointment with the OB on Monday. Everything looked good, I got a quick ultrasound to check how far along I am....I was guessing about 9-10 weeks and the baby measured 11 weeks 1 day! (That was a little different than when we went for our ultrasound for Mikey thinking I was about 8 weeks and find out I was only 6 weeks.) We got 1 picture, the baby wasn't cooperating much for good pics, it was sleeping with it's back to us. The next big ultrasound is March 3rd but it won't be that exciting since we're not finding out if it's a boy or girl but it's always fun to see the baby! She did put me on an aggressive dose of antibiotics just to be safe since I did drink some of the milk affected by the Whittier farm recall but hopefully it's only a precaution and I didn't actually drink any milk with listeria in it! It's nice to know that I'm almost out of the 1st trimester so my "All day sickness" will be tapering off soon. And the new due date is July 31st!

The Cat's out of the Bag! ;)

Cat, Baby, either way most of you know already that Baby Slocum #3 is on the way! We think s/he is due early August but not exactly sure yet....hopefully we'll have a better idea after the first OB appointment on Monday 1/7/08. It would be really neat if the birthday was 8/8/08 especially since Darren's birthday is Aug. 8th but since these 2 came early (3 weeks early) I doubt this one will make it into August. We kept it a secret from most up until the Family Christmas party last Saturday where Mikey wore a shirt I made for him saying "Big Bro 2008" Not everyone got it at first but as the day went on a few caught on to it and then it snowballed from there. :) It was fun to see everyone's reactions! We'll keep posting as we find out more although we're pretty sure we're not going to find out boy or girl this time until the big day.....how many times in you life do you really get such an incredible surprise??

Christmas 2007

What a great Christmas this year! It was so fun to see the kids get excited about Santa for weeks and then get up on Christmas and see all the things that he brought for them. Honor had asked for Baby Born which most of you would know if you talked to her between Thanksgiving and Christmas! :) Santa brought her Dora's Magical Castle and Mikey a neat wooden workbench. Of course the magic wands that came with Dora's castle are more fun to play with than the actual castle (Honor like to point them at someone and say "Shazam!") and the tools that go with the workbench are more fun to play with but that's ok. Santa did bring Baby Born and Honor's actually playing with her right now, sitting on the couch asking Baby if she's cold or hungry and telling her not to cry....very cute. :) And Santa also brought Mikey a Big Tonka dump truck, big enough to sit in and go for a spin in the bed of the truck. Santa had left these at Mimi's house so she could bring them later in the morning which was a good idea, that way there wasn't too much chaos in the morning.

We had a great dinner of roast beef, orange glazed carrots, spinach, green beans and sweet potato casserole by Mimi. Overall it was a great, fun, quiet day for all....probably the last time I can say that about a Christmas!
