Things That Keep us Warm

It is like one degree in Pittsburgh this week. Here's what's keeping us warm-

Getting exercise:
 Fuzzy slippers:
 Movie night in mom and dad's bed:
 Christmas tree glow:
"Our sweet little Grandma" (Jane's words) who flew across the country to come take care of us:
Lovely little old fashioned Christmas Eve flannel jammies made by the above-mentioned wonderful lady.
If she stays long enough I think my whole "to do" list will disappear:
 Little urchins who sneak into my picture taking session without notice:
 And finally, incubation! This is the most pregnant I have ever been, and boy, I'm plenty warm.
May I hereby pay homage to all you ladies who have been 39 weeks pregnant.
I never knew. . .
 Little baby, I know it's cold out here, but we promise to keep you cozy if you'll come out now.

Dear friends, hope you're staying toasty, wherever you are.

Oh my goodness! I'm in love with those nightgowns! So lovely! And you are so little! I'm 3 weeks behind and I think double your size! Looks so cozy over there!!! Happy nesting!! Love the picts!

Apparently baby number 4 wants to be make a dramatic christmas entrance. I can't believe that is your 39 week picture. I was that big at like 6 months. I can't wait to hear about the newest addition. Email me some pictures. Oh and those nightgown are DARLING! Ask her where she bought the pattern from me.

Love the whole Wilson clan.

ok, not fair at all- I was that size at four months not 9.
Oh, I love your girls beds- all white and those headboards are so wonderful.
I hope baby comes soon- what a wonderful Christmas present she will be.
ps- there's nothing so wonderful as having "grandma" all to yourself when you have a baby.

Love the nighties. Love that Grandma. Can't wait to meet the new Wilsonette!

Lori said...

you are such a pretty skinny little preggo woman. i agree with sarajane. i'm glad your mama is there. good luck with everything!

This reminds me of the book "Baby Come Out!" by Maurice Sendak. Or at least he illustrated it.
I hope you go soon, but if not, could you at least have her on 1/1/11? It's so prime.
That would also accomplish the notable goal of one grandchild per calendar year ever since Will was born. No one else is lining up for next year, yet. Victoria snorted at the idea.
I've got presents for you! Is Grandma Wilson going to fly out or should I mail them?

Janelle said...

Ugh -- sorry! Those last few days are killer. I never knew until Harper either, because Elliot was born at 37 weeks. Here's hoping she makes an appearance soon!

Joyelle said...

Oh Kate! WE are so happy for you. (I just read Caleb's email) He is right. You deserve a reward for birthing such beautiful babies. I love those night gowns. How fun that your mom is there. I bet she's just eating up all her missed time with those darlings.

Such a tiny bump for 39 weeks and with a fourth baby. All my best wishes to yu and your family for the upcoming few weeks and welcoming your new arrival.

Melynn said...

Oh good luck with that last last week or so. Amazing that you have not hit 39 weeks before. Really, I wish you the best with your darling tummy.
