The end of a wonderful year!

Well as 2010 comes to an end I can't help but think back on what a year it has been!

Jess and I were married this year. On January 16th  it will be our one year anniversary, I am 5 months pregnant  (baby Charlie is the size of a Mango right now) and we moved to a bigger place to make room for baby! What a year is all I can say! We have been so blessed with the great family that surrounds us and all the blessings that we have. There were lots of fun camping and River trips with friends and family this year. I can't wait to have Charlie start camping with us! Also this year my relationship with God has grown to be something that I never would have imagined it could be. Jess was promoted to the technical directed for FC Man United soccer club which has been an exciting thing for him. He definitely has a vision for where he sees the club going.

This Christmas was so much fun with all the small kids around this year. My sister's two, Carson and Cassie, are at such a fun age right now and really embraced everything Christmas had to offer. Jess's sisters, Jenny and Jill, have 2 little ones, Jack and Marseille, that are the same age of around 1 1/2 and really just too fun to be around. Such little personalities. Jenny just had another little girl, Amelie, who I enjoyed some great one on one time on Christmas morning. Here are some pics from our holidays fun! 


As far as baby Charlie goes here is what is going on with him at 20 weeks:
Baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure,  measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.)
He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).
