MeMe, Cullen and I taped it up.
Brent got started. It already looks great. I can't wait to show the after pictures.
SUPER DAD... 
Brent and Cullen in front of the fire on Christmas Eve. We love our fireplace. It was nice to have a fire during Christmas. The cold weather held out for us to have one.
Cullen left Santa milk and Christmas Candy for a snack. He made sure everything was just right before bed. He opened one present, and we read Christmas stories. 
Christmas morning, Cullen was very excited. He opened everything in his own little order, and then placed every gift in a nice stack. Cullen could not believe that Santa remembered to wrap his presents in Spiderman paper. He made this request to Santa. It is such a joy to watch him get so excited about Christmas.
The ESPN T-ball set. He is very good.
T-wrecks Race Track. This is what Brent and I bought Cullen for Christmas
Then MeMe came to stay with us on the 26th. We picked her up from the airport and drug her to Babies R Us. It is close to the airport so it was convenient. I changed the baby bedding on this visit. I like the new one much better. It will be perfect with lavender walls.
MeMe is staying with us until January 1st. This is Cullen opening presents from MeMe and Poppy. We were very glad to see Meme.
My pirates...
Our Christmas has been very joyful. We have enjoyed each other very much.
We missed everyone that we did not get to see.
Thank you all for for the gifts you sent Cullen and us. We love you...
We went to the doctor yesterday morning for my checkup and glucose test. Well, the glucola made me very sick and light headed. Brent had to check me in at the doctor because I could not stand up. This is what I heard from my seat:
Brent, " I'm here to check Wanda Estes in. She has glucose test this morning."
Receptionist, "O.K. fill out one of those for me."
Brief Silence
Receptionist, " Name"
Brent, "Wanda Estes E-S-T-E-S"
Brief silence
Recpetionist, "Is she with you today?"
Brief silence as Brent turns to look at me.
Brent, "Yes."
At that point, I was no longer listening because I was laughing. What a strange question for OB-Gyn receptionist to ask a man. Did she think that he was going to sit in for me at this visit? Anyway, it was funny.
I gained 2 pounds in 5 weeks, and the baby has dropped. My doctor drew my blood for the glucose test and was not gentle. I hope things change before delivery, or there could be some issues. I was due to have some other things done but me remaining conscious for them was an issue, so I will have them done in two weeks. He wants to see me every two weeks for the next two visits then switch to one. That is if I am still holding on. Our next ultrasound is not until the end of January. We wanted one earlier, but they do not want to more than they have to.
We discussed preterm delivery again. He says there are no predictors of it happening again, but it doesn't mean that it will not. Just to take it easy and refrain from numerous activities. If my water breaks head straight to the hospital. See you in two weeks and get something to eat.
We made amd dash for my favorite breakfast burrito place. That made it all better. We did a little shopping, had some sweets, and went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was a cute movie. Cullen really liked it.
It is nice to be out of school...
Here is a brief catchup on us:
We got our Christmas Tree. Brent brought the tree in by himself and put lights on it. He hurt his back badly when he was trying to reach the top. After an emergency room visit and doctor visit, Brent is finally better. It still bothers him somewhat but is manageable now.
I thought I was going into labor, so off to the hospital again. I was just dehydrated and that was causing the contractions. Baby has dropped, and I am suppose to be resting alot. We did not go to the baby doctor on the 12th. We had to reschedule. It is the 19th. We will see what he has to say.
Cullen is doing great. He is so excited about Christmas. He has been wanting to go thank all of the neighbors for putting up Christmas lights. He picked his new Christmas ornament out for this year. He was trying to hold out for Batman, but could wait no longer and settled for Spiderman. As he would say, " Spiderman is my favorite Superhero."
Brent is finished with school until well into January. I still have until Wednesday. Come on Wednesday....
Cullen made these at school before Thanksgiving.
Our beautiful tree!
Cullen cleaning up after the tree.
Cullen did a great job at decorating the tree.
There are a lot of ornaments that are at his height on the tree. That is what makes it special... Cullen likes to rearrange the ornaments on the tree.
