37 Weeks Pregnant
Jess is officially "full term" now. At 37 weeks, the baby's lungs are fully developed and he could safely arrive anytime now. Jess is having trouble with heartburn and getting comfortable, as well as some trouble sleeping at night, but over all she has been feeling great! Her doctors appointments are going well and they say baby Aiden is measuring normal for his due date on Jan. 1, 2010. They have told Jess to watch her weight these last few weeks, but she has only gained about 25lb so far during her pregnancy. Some people have told us that Jess may deliver earlier than New Years, and Jess certainly hopes so. But we will just have to wait and be surprised! :) Our families plan to visit after the baby is arrives. Jess' parents will probably be here first for a few days and Jon's parents will be coming up to visit at the end of January."...Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours..."
Stay tuned- we'll be sure to keep you posted on the latest baby news!

1 lb. M&Ms
Mix all together and drop by teaspoonfulls and flatten. Bake at 300 for 10-15 minutes.

Fruit Cups
This is a delicious and refreshing addition to breakfast or just to enjoy as a snack!!!
1 Can of Apricots - chopped
2 Bags (or 18 oz container) of Frozen Strawberries (no sugar added) - chopped
4 Large Bananas- diced
1 large can of Diced Pineapple
2 cups of Blueberries (optional)
Mix all above together in a large bowl. Rinse the Pineapple can & Apricot Can with water and add to fruit mixture for juice. Then, take small plastic cups (I use the tiny 5oz. cups) & fill with fruit. Make sure to get an even amount of juice and fruit in the cups. Stand in baking pan in freezer until frozen solid, then you can store in ziplock bags, stacked til ready to eat. Let them thaw slightly before eating, they are best when they are slushy and you still have frozen fruit pieces to enjoy.

Samson Snuggling with Baby Bump
I am beginning to think that Samson knows that something is about to happen in our house. He follows me everywhere (more than usual) and wants to snuggle with you whenever he can. I also think that he has been a little more protective of me since I became pregnant. The other night he just wouldn't stop trying to get on the couch with Jon and I. We have been trying to work with him on not getting on the furniture, as we're getting a new couch soon and need to break his habbit. I finally gave in and let him up beside me. He immediately ducked under the blanket I had across my lap and made himself comfortable, resting his head across my pregnant belly to watch TV with us. :) It didnt take long and he was sound asleep! Aiden started kicking and my belly was moving and bouncing Samson's head but he didnt seem to care. I just thought this snapshot was too cute not to post. It will be going into Aiden's baby book eventually... hopefully they are as good of buddies when Aiden is outside of my stomach as they seem to be right now. :)
