(I am sure Paul is sad he missed this photo op...)
I had a hard day at work on Tuesday (Christmas Eve) and came home, turned up the heat in the house and took a nap on my bed till my parents and brother arrived at around 6:15. Apparently I missed them knocking and ringing the doorbell, never thought I was THAT good of a sleeper! They know our garage code though and came in that way, and oblivious me thought they had just arrived. Oops! We had a wonderful chill evening, my mom cooked us dinner, and we all lounged around on the couch.
Christmas morning we all woke up and my momma made rolls and cinnamon rolls, I am so spoiled! Paul had to work 5am-10am so we waited for him to get home before opening gifts. We had a slow morning full of sipping coffee, catching up on life, and cuddling under blankets. Then we opened lots of presents and Baby Fern scored this year! I'll have to take a picture of the amazing Totoro and blanket my momma made baby. :)
Later in the day we went on a walk then drove to watch the sunset, it was an amazing and relaxing Christmas. We made a simple dinner and my mom cleaned and put everything away.
Today (Thursday) we woke up and undecorated. So so so thankful to have both of my parents help in doing this. By 10:30am the tree and all other decorations were down and put away, then my momma spoiled me immensly by cleaning all the bathrooms, vacuuming, and cleaning the kitchen after making me an egg nog latte! I definitely didn't want them to leave. The sadness of them leaving wasn't too bad though because I know baby will make an arrival at least in the next 3 weeks (hopefully tomorrow and baby could share a bday with my grandma who passed this year) and I will get to see them again.
And with that I leave you with my 39 week pictures. I haven't gained any weight in about a month but I am measuring right on track and baby is moving down the birth canal. We are ready!

What a nice, relaxing Christmas! It's true that it gets a little bit busier with kids, but the shift is so much fun. Having your house cleaned and all that yummy food made for you has to be one of the best christmas gifts to receive! You are so blessed with your family and I can hear your gratefulness throughout your entire post! I remember I didn't gain much the last month either, even though they say that supposedly baby is supposed to be gaining a pound a week during the last bit. Maybe our bodies make up the difference, since everything takes more work and we end up burning more calories? ha ha I like to make up random theories about these things. Loved reading your post and seeing your 39 week bump!
