Merry Christmas!

Christmas is here!  Can you believe it?!  For those of you that know Travis and me, you probably know that Christmas is our FAVORITE time of year by far!  It's not just about the gifts....it's about the decorations, THE TREE, the lights, family, friends, and traditions!  Many of our traditions are falling apart this year, as my sister and her family are living in Florida, so we are without them this holiday season.  And we usually always make a trip up north to the Severson home for Christmas, which we won't be doing this year due to the fact that I'm too pregnant to be 4 hours away from our hospital.  So, this year will be a bit different.  Travis and I will celebrate at home, with our favorite little pup, Miss Sasha!  We'll make a trip to Faribault later tonight and spend a few days with my mom and Scott.  We might even make an appearance at my Grandma's get-together, which our travel plans have taken us away from for the last 6 years or so.  All in all, Christmas will be different, but still a WONDERFUL time of year.

Updates from the week...my doctor appointment on Tuesday went well.  Baby girl Severson is still breech and the doctor said she is VERY comfortable there.  She likely won't make the flip and so we are full-steam ahead to the C-section date of January 11th.  So weird to think that we know our daughter will be born on 01-11-2010!!!!  I asked Travis the other night if he could believe that we will have our baby living in our home with us in less than 20 days and he said, "I'm ready for her honey!"  Brought a tear to my eye!  He will be such a great daddy and I'm so excited to see how he interacts with her when they first meet...I feel like I already know her and am madly in love with this little creature that keeps me up all night!  We'll have another doctor appointment in 1 week and I'll post more updates at that point.


Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy 2010!  Travis and I are so fortunate to have such great family and friends.  We've been blessed with a very healthy pregnancy thus far and feel like the upcoming birth of our little girl is the best "belated" Christmas gift we could have ever asked for!!!  We can't wait for you all to meet her in the New Year!!!

Lots of love-
Travis, Stevie, Sasha and baby Severson
