Bekah quote of the day
While playing with the nativity this morning, she exclaimed, "Glory to God! Baby Jesus is alive!". Amen, Bek, amen.

Setting up the Christmas tree
We got a fake tree this year for free from some friends who were moving. I feel like a BIT of a Scrooge not getting a real one, but can I say just how incredibly convienent it was this year?? Oh my word. Especially being that it takes a major effort for me to traverse Target these days with my big, sore pregnant body. :)
Bekah was so excited to help and was a great little helper. She is currently playing with our nativity set (thanks, Pops and Mimi!) and just narrating away as she does. Seriously never stops talking. The words I keep saying today are, "Be gentle". Thankfully the nativity is non-breakable. We'll see about that!
We enjoyed Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph while we decorated (thanks, Mips and Mimi!). I love those old Christmas movies. This will be our first Christmas fully at home in a long time, and I'm looking forward to enjoying our decorations.
Update on baby: everything is looking good at 31 weeks. My placenta previa has completely cleared up, her heartrate was 140 this week, and she is active, but I don't think quite as active as Bekah was. I feel pretty good overall. I'm pretty sore and slow and have been getting weird migraines, but nothing too painful. Bekah has been a good sport and often says, "We can do x when the baby comes out?" and has a good attitutde about having a mother that just can't do much these days.
Curtis is a big help....and if we could just name this poor child, we'd be set!
We enjoyed a visit from Curtis' sister Erin this week. It was so good to be together! At one point, Bekah was holding her hand and said, "Auntie Erin, I like you." Melt my heart.
We had a really fun Thanksgiving dinner with some good seminary friends here and it was a low-key day overall. And it's not too cold here yet! I wonder if we'll have a white Christmas?

Bekah's little bench
Bekah has been busy playing with her doggie and her baby. Doggie was a baby, but "grew up to be a big girl" this afternoon. They are taking care of her little baby now. Bekah's been telling us that SHE is a baby a lot lately...preparing for our new arrival I think. :) We had a good day today and even made it to the zoo with Daddy. It was a bit rough on this mama's pregnant, tired body, but we had fun. :)
