Wrapping, wrapping, wrapping...

Ella and I have spent the day wrapping presents. She's a pretty good helper. She loves to help pick out bows and sign the tags. Chances are, if you get a gift from us this year, it will have about 3 or 4 tags on it, because Ella likes to "detorate the pwesent" (decorate the present). It's pretty sweet.
Having fun, Honey?
She works really hard on each tag...

Then has to add a finishing touch once it's on the gift...

Then ever so carefully puts each gift under the tree...

Thanks for being such a big helper, Ella!!

And on a side note, we had kind of a scare at the doctor's office yesterday. I went in for a routine OB check-up and the doctor noticed some irregularities in our little boy's heartbeat. We spent a couple hours in the hospital being monitored and had another ultrasound. Everything seems to be fine. Apparently, the placenta and the baby's cord are positioned in such a way that, depending on my and the baby's position, the cord may get a little compressed and cause his heart rate to slow down. It's a little scary for me, because obviously I can monitor his movement, but not his heart rate. We'll go back next week for another check, so please say a little prayer for us (!) that everything continues to look okay and that our little guy will grow to be a strong, healthy baby. We are counting our blessings this holiday and are so thankful that God continues to provide us and our family with so much happiness and good health.
