A Thanksgiving Perspective from Within
Dear Mom,
Thanks for all of the yummy flavors I tasted while swallowing amniotic fluid this Thanksgiving. I recognized classic favorites such as tuna casserole, Daddy's amazing loaded potato casserole, ambrosia salad, fresh salad, green bean casserole, stuffing & dressing, gravy, and a little turkey on the side. The deserts were delicious too: chocolate pie, pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread pudding with whipped cream topped the list. I'm glad I'm in here to help you metabolize all this food Mom. Next year I'm looking forward to trying out some of these flavors on my own.
XOXO,
Martilda
Turkey Trot 2009 - Thanksgiving Day
We completed the 3 mile fun run in the Turkey Trot this year in about an hour. I usually run the 8 mile race in an hour and 20 minutes, but I'm happy to use the "9 months pregnant card" as my excuse this year. There were lots of people and we were happy to be part of the fun. It was a great way to begin Thanksgiving Day 2009.

Martilda's weight
At our sonogram November 12th Martilda weighed 5lbs 8oz. Yesterday the doctor estimated that she weighs about 6lbs. I am 50% effaced and becoming more and more excited about meeting our baby girl very soon.

Tea Party Baby Shower

Once again I am amazed by the love and generosity that surrounds Martilda and me. My mom and aunts (Melanie & Alison) hosted a tea party shower for us yesterday and everyone who was invited attended. The setting was elegant and the gathering was most exquisite. Martilda's first tea time was perfect. Our gratitude is endless. xo

CD Release - 11/7/09
Martilda rocked out last Saturday at her uncle Dylan's cd release party at the Sons of Hermann Hall. The band is "The Crash that Took Me" and their new album is excellent. We have been listening to it non-stop so Martilda will recognize the music when she arrives. The cd will be playing in the labor room. Thanks for the awesome tunes Dylan.

My Nexus shower was fabulous. I am grateful to have such wonderful co-workers. I can't wait to introduce Martilda to them when we return from maternity leave in March.

New Doctor, New Hospital
Although it was a bit difficult changing doctors and hospitals at 34 weeks, it is the best decision we have made concerning this pregnancy. We will now be delivering at Baylor Hospital in downtown Dallas with Dr. Glen Heckman. I can't wait to meet our beautiful baby girl in just a few short weeks!

AB wants one in his size
Aaron did such a great job assembling the baby swing, he has decided he wants one in his size. Wouldn't it be nice to have a cradle swing to rock to sleep in every night?!
Gifts Galore!
We are so very grateful to all of our friends and family! These few photos do not even come close to depicting the massive amount of generosity we have received. Thank you everyone for ensuring that baby Martilda has everything she needs when she arrives.

Diaper Tote ordered
I love love love this diaper tote from Skiphop. I ordered it last night and cannot wait to receive it. The outside purse detaches and becomes a "mommy clutch" for times when the whole diaper bag is not needed. I can't wait to put Martilda's hair into pigtails like the little girl in this image. Hopefully she has hair on her head before the age of 2 (since AB and I reportedly were both bald until well into our toddler years)!!
