Christmas-Part 1

This past weekend we drove down to Temple to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family. Saturday morning we spent time hanging out, playing with Tanner, and doing a lot of relaxing. I think Brian read an entire book on Saturday! 

Once Poppa and Uncle Mark arrived from Dallas we had a fabulous lunch and then opened up gifts. Tanner was a big help this year and had a blast handing out the stockings and gifts. 

Every time he handed out a gift he would throw up his arm and say "YAY!" Let's just say that Tanner got to unwrap most of the gifts under the tree : ). Here are some of the pictures from the weekend. 

My mom got all of the boys funny boxers. Of course we had to get a picture!

Tanner got a kitchen from my parents and loved it! He played with it for the rest of the weekend and would  walk around the house pouring each of us a cup of coffee (sound effects included). 

Later that evening the boys played a few rounds of Blokus while I did a little bit of this...

Here is our Christmas 2011 family picture. Look at how red T-Man's hair looks! 

Merry Christmas from the Bailey's, O'Neal's, and Pattillo's! 

16 Week Update

How far along? 16 weeks

Heartbeat? 156 which the sonographer says is great! Honestly, I think it sounds like there is a little race horse inside of me!

Total weight gain/loss: So far I haven't gained or lost any weight. 

Maternity clothes? I am still wearing all of my normal clothes but after I have eaten 3 meals my  jeans aren't so comfortable anymore!

Sleep? This week I pulled out the big body pillow to help me practice sleeping on my side. I am a back sleeper so I need help staying on my side all night. I am sleeping great and usually don't have to get up in the middle of the night. Brian is convinced that I will never have trouble sleeping EVER since I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime! 

Movement: Not yet. The doctor said I should start to feel little flutters in the next few weeks :).

Food cravings: I haven't really craved anything yet. I am just hungry all the time!

Gender: BOY! His name is going to be Tyler Grey Pattillo. We are excited that he will have boy cousins on both sides that are all within 3 years of him. They are going to have a great time growing up together! 

Labor Signs: None

What I miss: Coke and margaritas! 

What I am looking forward to: A bigger baby bump! When I wake up in the morning I have a VERY small bump that probably no one else would notice. After I eat a big dinner I get really excited because my food/baby bump is much bigger :). I'll take what I can get at this point. I am proud of that bump!
