Cousins/Snow/30 weeks

Ryan and Sarah had their baby, Kinley Ann on December 27th. Sarah was not able to travel at Christmas so we came up to their house on New Year's Day to have our Hardie Family Christmas. Kaitlynn was a little wound up from all the Christmas festivities (over 2 weeks of it at that point!) but we had a good time. Kinley is such a doll and I enjoyed snuggling with her, as well as getting even more excited (and anxious!) for our little bundle of joy to arrive soon.

The next weekend, Abby and Annie flew in from Colorado. They came to our house for a 24 hour visit with Grammy and Papa Sewing. Cousin Jenna was able to join them, as well. It was so much fun watching Kaitlynn and Abby interact with each other. Abby thought everything Kate did was funny! It was so nice to see them, but wish it could have been for longer.
The big helper at lunch time
She loves her so much!
So cute!
The girls with Aunt Annie. Kaitlynn kept wanting her to hold both girls at the same time. Yes, she totally looks like Annie!
Silly face!
Bath time... This worked out a bit better than our first attempt at a bath together while we were in Colorado. Who knew the little baby bath tubs could float away!?! They had fun this time until Kaitlynn tried to love on Abby which then made her fall over into the water. Bath time was ended shortly after that!
Snuggling with her 2nd cousin, Jenna. It was really fun to be able to spend some time hanging out with her.

We've had a few snow days this winter and we've had a great time hanging out at home. This does mean that I'll have to go back to work at the end of the year for about a week, but I'd much rather do that then have to drive in 8 inches of snow.
All bundled up and ready to go play for the first time this winter!
She loved going down the snow filled slide!

Baby Update:
For the most part I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't had much swelling yet. Thank goodness! I could only wear flip flops at this point with Kaitlynn. I have had a bit more heartburn this time, but not too bad. Sleeping is already becoming uncomfortable so I've moved out to the couch or chair. I guess that just goes with the territory! I can't believe that he'll be here in 9 weeks. I have a feeling that's going to fly by! I will try to post some pictures of the kid's new rooms tomorrow or Tuesday, if we get another snow day!

Here is a 30 week picture for all of my fans...ha ha! I of course took a picture every month with Kaitlynn and have only taken 2 this time around. I'll try to be better here the next 2 months. :)
