Holidays and 7th Month Doctor's appointment!

It has been a busy month with Rob on the road every other weekend and the two holidays. For the lack of weight I have gain since the pregnancy first started has officially been made up for this last month! At least I'm hoping it the pregnancy, not the average Joe's holiday cookie weight gain!

Thanksgiving:

We celebrated the day before. Which anyone who lives the hockey life knows that sometimes holidays get celebrated either days or a week before the holidays. A group of us had dinner at the Bartalones. Marieanna who is an amazing cook made ham and turkey and everyone who came brought a side dish. Rob got to enjoy our favorite wine Seven Deadly Zins as I got to drink sparkling grape juice! Baby Lehtinen loved the sparkling grape juice. She moved like there was no tomorrow! The day of Thanksgiving Rob and I made King Crab legs and played golf. Rob dominated me winning by at least 80 points! Game is still under investigation!

Christmas:

We started off the Christmas hockey break with an ugly Christmas sweater party. December 20th (Picture to follow) It took place in the lobby of our apartment complex and of course Rob's outfit was one of the best! After that we took it easy. Just hung around PV and watch Christmas movies. We had to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve since Rob was leaving at 4:00 am Christmas morning. The day started with brunch at the coaches house! Caroline made amazing food that I need to get recipes for! After that came home and started cooking Christmas dinner. We had a roast with traditional holiday sides. The ichated with my sister and parents after dinner as they watched us open our gifts. It was a very successful Christmas. The baby girl isn't even here yet and made out like a little bandit. Auntie Dani, Uncle Ryan and cousin Teagan got her a car seat with car seat toys and bottles. The Gardners got her a bottle cleaner, small bottles and extra nipples. Grammy and Grampy got us a heart listen machine. This way we can hear her heart beat anytime we want.

7th month Doctor's appointment:

We have had three appointments here and Rob finally got to meet our doctor. He really likes him. The fact that the doctor and his son are Sundog fans had no influence on Rob's decision I'm sure. :) The Doctor likes the shape of my belly and said my glucose test was very good. It came back at a 98. Also my blood pressure is nice a low which is also good! She has been moving a lot and is getting strong enough to push out. Making is obvious she is moving. During the appointment Rob and I got to feel her butt mean she is head down! Lets hope she stays that way. Next appointment is January 20th. This appointment will determine if we need to have a c-section the beginning of March or let nature take its course. This ultrasound comes with a DVD of her and a CD of pictures of her. So next entry will have a lot of look at! After the appointment Rob and I were excited and feeling unprepared. So we went and bought her bassinet. A nice little pack n' play.

Here are the ugly Christmas outfits Rob and I came up with for the party! I decorated Rob's vest with jewels and present tags! These outfits came from the thrift store!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!
