21 weeks

There isn't much to report this week, except that this baby is getting WILD! I can't get over how strong the baby's movements are at this point. Randy and I have sat a few nights this week and just watched/felt my belly moving around. It is crazy! I don't remember one way or the other if Owen moved this much at this point, but I am guessing no because I feel like I would have remembered it. All I can say is that I am really glad that the scratching/scrapping feeling I was getting on my bladder everytime the baby moved is gone. If I was still feeling that with the baby's movement being so strong now, I think I would be very uncomfortable!

Brushing his teeth before bedtime on Christmas Eve. Yes, this is how we do it every night...looks strange, but it works well ;)

Christmas Day

Christmas morning...the aftermath, this took all of about 6 minutes to produce!

playing with his "grabber car"...one of the 3 things he asked Santa for

in his new hockey skates from Santa...which he didn't ask for. Everything that he got and didn't ask Santa for, he says, "I got _____ and I didn't talk about that!" He was amazed that Santa got him things he didn't ask for ;)

Seneca Valley Hockey Alumni Game

Randy got the opportunity to play in the Seneca Valley HS Alumni Hockey game this year. He had a blast and Owen and I really enjoyed getting to see him play. His weekly games are always so late that we don't get to go, but these games were more reasonably timed, so we went to watch. There were 2 games that he played in...one against the current Varsity team at SV and the second against the other alumni team. His team beat the Varsity team, but lost in a shoot out to the other alumni team. Owen LOVED watching Randy play and now constantly pretends to be on Daddy's hockey team!!
