She's Here!

Kathleen "Kate" Marie Boland decided to come on December 5th.  She was 8 lbs 12 oz and almost 21 inches. The whole experience was amazing. I got to see the same aweseome doctor the whole time. Dave made it to every appointment (which is difficult for an Army PT to do) and took off enough time to only work 5 days this month. My mom came out and took care of the kids so I could spend two days in the hospital recovering and focusing on the baby. I am so lucky.
Everything feels so magical right now. I get to sit and watch my kids play in front of a Christmas tree while I hold my brand new little girl (that for a while, I thought I would never have). Who could for a better Christmas gift?

Ready!!

November was a much better month for my pregnancy. I had someone come a few times a week to help take care of the kids so I could take naps and get ready for the baby. I feel sooooooo much better. We have everything ready for the baby, did several projects around the house, and are set for Christmas.The presents are bought, wrapped, under the tree or mailed, and the house is decorated. My mom got here on Saturday to take care of the kids when I go to the hospital. I am officially ready to for this baby to come! My due date is Monday (Dec 5th). 

Some friends threw me a surprise tea party baby shower. It was a sweet surprise that was so girly and fun.

Such a cute set up :)

It wouldn't be a tea party without William and Kate

We did our first Thanksgiving "just us." Everything turned out awesome!

Ready to go and everyone even looked at the camera!
