Matry- 27 weeks. First day of my last trimester!!!

Here she is! Well, it's easy to see- Matry has my nose! It seems she has Ben's full lips and the shape of his eyes. Poor baby has my cheeks and round face! I can't get over how weird it feels to see her. Every sonogram gets a little more detailed- she finally looks like a little human being! Right now Matry is breech and her feet are up by her ears. We can't get over how huge her lips are- she was sucking on her bottom lip nearly the entire session. Anyway- here are some pictures. Merry Christmas!

A good picture of her leg, ankle bone and foot. She already has Ben's muscles (that's what Emry says at least!) :)

Look at the cheeks on this kid. Another two and a half months of baking- I'm afraid to see how much more they can grow!

Saturday Church...

A quick post- We went to Church last night at Community Bible Church in San Antonio for their Christmas special. It was amazing- like going to a holiday concert! Emry had a great time and it was amazing to see so many babies everywhere in their holiday outfits- I can't wait! Hurry up and come, Caroline!! Anyway, a few pictures of the Stakes' family in front of the Church Christmas tree as well as some silly pictures at dinner afterward. Love and miss you all.

A little bump in the road...

Hello all! Sorry I haven't written in a while- life has been kind of crazy. Last week I started having contractions, and apparently having contractions when you are only six-and-a-half months along is not a good thing. I was admitted in to labor and delivery (twice in two days) where they finally learned I have a bladder infection- who knew? Anyway, after some IV fluids and being put on an antibiotic all is peachy. And, of course, the entire time Matry was being monitored she was having a ball. She seems to be a bit spastic- almost like she scares herself when she moves. The best way I can explain it is she seems to be like my parent's dog, Sophie. For those of you who know Sophie, you understand. I hope she grows out of that stage, otherwise it should be interesting. I've attached a picture of what happens when it's difficult to get an IV to stay. Fun stuff!
