36.5 weeks

I have reached 36 weeks.  This will be my last pregnancy post before our little man arrives.  We are very excited to meet him and officially ready for him to arrive.  This past month has been filled with feeling nauseous, nose bleeds, many aches and pains, heart burn, lack of sleep, and having to eat very small meals.  Also a few fun parts: lots of movements, baby moving head down, many hiccup sessions, and lots of adorable Christmas gifts.  The most exciting news is deciding on a name!

Ashton Paul Annett, we cant wait to meet you!

Belly shot 36.5 weeks

A few pregnancy side notes:
I'm one day away from when I had Colbie.
I ate lots of apples, bananas and tons of cereal.
Colbie's pregnancy was much easier and I gained less weight with her.

White/Ryan Christmas

The week of Christmas we stayed at my moms house, which involved more cookie making, lots of family and cousin time and of course many more presents.  A big thanks to my mom and sister who were very helpful as Jon had to work most of the week.

Our Family Christmas

The weekend before Christmas was when we did our family Christmas (Santa even came early).  It was nice to spend the weekend with our family of three before the busy week of Christmas in Vancouver began.  We enjoyed a trip to Snowflake Lane, making Christmas cookies, opening presents, and watching Christmas movies.

Snow foot prints Santa left from the Chimney to gifts and cookies.  We pointed them out to Colbie all excited and she responded "Mom its just pretend" this girl is going to keep us on our toes!

Nursery

Baby boys nursery is complete.  Colbie uses it constantly to change her babies diapers, rock them, and put them to bed.  Hoping she is bored of this by the time her brother arrives.

Annett Family Christmas

Jon's family came to celebrate Christmas with us a little early since I can not fly this late in my pregnancy.  It was so great to have them, Colbie loves their visits and now has an idea of what Christmas morning will be like.  Constant attention, lots of gifts, and new toys to play with.  Thanks so much Paul and Debbie for all the generous gifts, yummy meals and great company.  We will miss you on Christmas day.  Michelle was unable to come, but has some exciting news in her life.  She and Brien are engaged, congratulations Brien and Michelle, we are very excited for the two of you!
