A big day!

Yesterday was a big day for two reasons: 1st I turned 30 years old yesterday and 2nd I turned 30 weeks pregnant yesterday. It was a really good day. My parents had us over for birthday dinner that evening and my grandma got to come which was really nice. She is finally getting out and doing more things since my grandpa passed away. We had great evening. I also can't believe I finally hit the 30 week mark. I've been thinking all along that once 30 weeks gets here, it is getting pretty close. Well, now we're there and it is so exciting. I went to Wal-Mart and registered today, which was really fun. I forgot how much fun that is, and how cute baby girl things are. We are getting so excited!

My sister, my mom, my grandma, and me.

Mommy and daughters. Boy, look at that big belly in the middle!

Bryson giving his baby sister a kiss. He does this a lot. He also love to talk to her at my belly. He says the sweetest things and he always starts with "This is your big brother Bryson..."

30 weeks along and still growing. I don't know how much more I can stretch that shirt out. It has become my favorite shirt and I wear it all the time. I'll probably keep stretching it until it rips apart!

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It is hard to believe that this is our last Christmas with only Brian, Bryson, and I. Next year will be so different. We are looking forward to sharing our first Christmas with Madelyn next year. She even got a few presents this year! We really enjoyed all the time we were able to spend with our families. I couldn't decide which pictures to add, so here are a few of my favorites. Yes, I am definately growing! This is at 26 weeks. Madelyn must have been enjoying herself because she was kicking and moving around all day on Christmas.

Cheese!
My goofy husband and his brother. Kevin and his wife Rebecca are also expecting and are due just 1 day before us! I guess they got jealous of everyone wanting to take our pictures of our swollen bellies that they wanted some attention too. So, here they are showing off their bellies as well. They always keep us laughing! There is never a dull moment around the Yeager house.

Rebecca and I, both 26 weeks along. We are due one day apart and are very excited to be sharing this experience with each other. We've been given strict orders not to go into labor on the same day! We'll see what happens. We are having a girl and they are having a boy. Next Christmas is going to be so much different!

We finally picked out a name!

So, after MUCH discussing and talking and debating we have finally decided on a name for our daughter. We are going to name her Madelyn Grace Yeager. I have always loved the name Madelyn. It sounds so pretty and elegant and it is fitting for a little girl and for a grown woman. It was tough deciding on a name I tell you! Also, there are no Madelyn's in our family or at our church (that I know of) and I have only had one Madelyn in class at school and she was an absolute doll and angel. If you know any bad Madelyn's then please; don't share that with me. I already had to eliminate so many wonderful names because of so and so at school had that name and you don't want to name them that! It is so hard for a teacher to name their own child because of the legacy other children leave behind for their names. Anyway, I am now 23 weeks along and feeling great, yeah!
