christmas cards

merry christmas everyone! this has been a bit different holiday season at the colberts. with our new addition there has not been a lot of time for shopping, wrapping and the usual holiday stuff. but there is one thing that we do every year no matter how hectic the season gets....christmas cards! i love christmas cards. i love getting them, reading them and i love mailing ours out to everyone too. every year i pull out the shoe box full of cards from years past and sit down and read all of them again. i could do without most of the commercial holiday stuff...but not the christmas cards from our friends and family!

4 week old!

wow time flies! our little sydney is already 4 weeks old. where do i start...we love her more than words can express and we are so happy she is in our life. new momma is a little tired but sydney is sleeping 5 hours at a time a night and from what i hear we are lucky. i cant believe that she is already holding her little head up. she is such a good baby. the dogs like to smell her and snuggle up to her when she is on the couch. oscar always tries to curl up in her boppy because it is just the right size for him too. the little teddy bear outfit that she is wearing was something that her daddy picked out especially for her and she loves it because it keeps her nice and toasty!

i want to add a special thanks to our family and friends. we are so thankful for all the warm wishes, nice dinners, the baby showers, and all the gifts that we received! thank you! thank you! thank you! we are so greatful for our wonderful friends and family!

my big belly

 

my last photo before the big day. for some reason i just had an idea that we would be welcoming our little girl into the world this weekend. so i had craig snap a few last photos of me & my belly. I told my work that i would not be in on monday and left all the sticky notes on the files for my leave...even they said yeah right we will see you on monday. saturday we ended up walking the doggies around the neighborhood...twice! they were so excited to get walked twice in one day (they have been a little deprived of our walks this summer). well it must have worked because not more that 2 hours after our last walk we were on our way to the hospital.

the count down...

UPDATE...Okay so baby colbert (still no name) is not here yet...but we are counting down the days!! nov 19 is the exact date but i hope she decides to come a titch early. like the 14 or 15 would be good for me! haha...dont think you can plan these things but here's to trying.

I am way behind on the blog. sorry. i have a list as long as my arm to do before the baby gets here...you know the whole nesting thing. i work until about 6 or 7 every night at the office and then at home in my office for the rest of the night in between loads of laundry and attempting to fix a good meal for my hubby. i still need to post about the wonderful baby showers that i have had...i feel very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. also still need to post about my dad's b-day, our anniversary, criags work in the babies room etc etc...i will find time hopefully before she gets here. oh an we need a name for the little one...any suggestions??? we have a lot of friends with girls and a lot of family with girls so its slim pickens on the girls names.
