Last post as a family of 4!!!

Well, this is the last post before we become a family of 5! I have definetly been in a cleaning frenzy the past week, cleaning the same stuff over and over again!! Tommorrow is D Day, or should I say B day. We are to be at the hospital at 7:30am tommorrow for our scheduled 9:30am Csection. Thanks to all the early blessings and prayers, we definetly need them.



The stockings are hung!! Even for baby Tristan!!


The Buchanan Christmas Tree 2008

Tristans Nursery

Here are some pictures of Tristans Nursery! I like how it turned out, not overdone, not underdone! It probably looks pretty plain in these pictures but I didnt have enough room to get full shots!

Celebrating the Christmas Season

Noahs class celebrated the christmas season with a morning filled of fun christmas activities. They decorated mini gingerbread houses, made reindeer with cutouts from their hands and feet, orange fruit ornaments, stringing popcorn and cranberries for the squirrels and birds and enjoying a christmas story with hot cocoa.

DONT WANT TO FORGET THAT THEY ALL GOT TO WEAR JAMMIES TO SCHOOL!!!

Here are some fun pictures, Maya just loves the chance to spend time in Noahs classroom. She is very ready to start school the first week of January.

A cracked head??

One night Maya climbed on the counter to find a bandaid. I figured nothing of it since she loves to take bandaid and open them and then mess around with them till they dont amuse her anymore and she throws them away. Well, she took the bandaid and slapped it on her forehead and was walking around with it most of the night. She took her bath and I figured it would get yucky and she would take it off, NOPE after Robb helped her get dressed and climb in bed I still saw it on her head. I asked her what happened to her head, she told me she had CRACKED HER HEAD!! silly girl!!

Pretty Toenails... CHECK!!

With only 7 more days in our countdown, my list of stuff to get done has now been started. Pretty toenails, check! The list doesnt stop there though! So much to do. It seems so surreal to know that this is the last week that we will be a family of 4. I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it honestly. One day at a time and deep breaths, and trying not to worry about a dirty house and stacking laundry is the mode I need to tune into. With a busy week ahead, keep us in your prayers.

Almost there.... 12 days to go!

Well, we have 12 days left in our countdown to Tristan arriving. I can barely believe that the end is near, although it seems to be going so slow. I can tell the end is near cause my legs, fingers, hands, and face continually stay swollen. I am anticipating the heartburn to disappear and the constant bathroom runs! I keep telling myself that I never thought the end would come but now it is upon us!!

We are scheduled for a CSection on December 15th at 9:30am. So much to do in so little time!!!
