Night Before Christmas

Last day for the advent calendar unveils a chocolate nutcracker-- quite a treasure!

These are a little out of order but show the spritz cookies we made this afternoon (he chose to give fifteen exactly to Santa) and the letter he wrote to Santa:

Dear Santa,

Please give me a motorbike (prefer a motor).

Love,

Will

Dejavu

Our ultrasound was quite a dejavu experience from last time. In this shot you see the baby with his hand in the air and foot up tickling his nose. His mouth is opening and closing drinking up the amniotic fluid. He was VERY active during the u/s but if these ultrasound images are anything like last time-- looks exactly like Will.

I'll try to post an image of the part where he spreads his legs and shows, just like last time, an unmistakable penis.

Peace on Earth Begins with Birth

This was a rather comical belly painting experience. I put the template on but couldn't see to paint so Will and Paul "helped". Our first photos showed that the earth was not actually round so Paul had to touch it up which created the floating Antarctica situation and a few other things that upon close scrutiny would make this look more like a blue and green mishmash rather than the earth. But you get the idea!
