the last few weeks....

So here is some catching up:
Christmas was great but busy (as always). We had a wonderful time with family. Ace was spoiled rotten by family and Santa. He loves all of his new toys and his "ball game shirts" as he likes to call them. I was looking forward to being home yesterday and getting some things done around the house to recover from the holiday. I thought surely that Mr. Man would play with all of his new things well....that nice thought went right down the toilet with the rest of the day. I love being home with him and my life is pretty awesome but lets just be honest here. Some days start off with great plans that by 1 hour into that day have been completely flushed! I know that I have this need to get everything done seeing how I have 5 weeks till my due date. So of course I had to shed a few tears over the crappy day. But the day ended well. We went to the Thunder game as a family then Jacob stopped and got me a coke float on the way home. The Thunder lost but these two continued to play some bball after we got home and they were just too cute...(don't be fooled that basketball goal is not Ace's...it's Jacob's) Here are my Thunder player wannabes...




For those of you who like baby news, Allison seems to be doing great! So great that I have measured 2 weeks ahead of schedule for the past 2 appts. So last week at 34 weeks I measured 36 weeks. Now I'm not so sure how little she is going to be. We have an ultrasound scheduled next week to check her size. So that could be adding to my feelings of wanting to get things done because we may not have 5 weeks left till she comes if she is getting too big we may be seeing her sooner.

It's December!

WOW! Where has the year gone. In spite of all the sickness here at the Eck house we managed to get our Christmas tree and a few decorations up. Ace loves the tree and as soon as he gets up in the morning insist on me turning the lights on. He also loves to take the decorations off the tree. At times it's a bit irritating but I told Jacob that come January we will be thrilled that the decorations are coming off without us having to do it. Besides I really feel like all of this stuff is for him and if he is enjoying it by taking things off and moving them around, then he can have at it! So if you come to the Eck house be prepared to see a very imperfect tree with a happy little boy walking around it. You may look at the tree but I'll be watching the little man that is smiling and placing ornaments all over my house! Here are a few pictures of our decorating....
And on the Baby note of things...I do NOT like to take pregnant pictures so for those of you who want to see what I look like at 32 weeks pregnant...enjoy. I look like a barn!
