Oh Christmas Tree

It's that time of year again!! CHRISTMAS TIME!!

This year, I was so excited about the Christmas season, that I ended up putting Christmas decorations up before it was even Thanksgiving. I put up decorations, but we waited to put our Christmas lights up and get our Christmas tree. Until yesterday! We had a beautiful day here in Waldorf, so it was a perfect time to get our Christmas tree and put up the lights on the house.

Even since McKaila was born, we made it a tradition for our family to get a real Christmas tree every year. Even though the needles make a mess in the house, I sure do love the smell of a real Christmas tree!

Pregnancy Update

It has nearly been a month since I last blogged. To be honest, not a whole lot has been going on in the life of the Polnicky family to really blog about. Now that it's been getting cold outside, we spend a lot of our time indoors, playing. As for me and blogging. I used to blog when McKaila would go down for a nap or when she fell asleep for the night, but these days I can barely keep my eyes open to do anything. I always think about getting the computer out to start a blog, but then before I know it, I have fallen asleep and awakened by McKaila. 

Like I said above, there hasn't been a while lot going on in the life of the Polnicky family. Which isn't entirely true. A lot is going on with this little one growing inside of me. Baby P. is still very small, I believe my app on my phone says that the baby is the size of an avocado, but I have felt a little bit of movement. Nothing too much and not enough to where Courtney could feel anything, but when I lay down and relax, I can feel some movement. 

We've been lucky enough to have had a couple ultrasounds to see Baby P. and each time, baby is moving around like crazy, just like McKaila did! And with each ultrasound or every appointment we get to hear a heartbeat, everything with Baby P. is great! Heartbeat is around 150-160! Strong heartbeat, just like big sister! 

McKaila loves touching my belly whenever she can and says "baby". It's so adorable and I love it! I'm looking forward to seeing McKaila be a big sister! I know she'll be great with the baby because she's already helpful with everything else!
