As always, we were busy seeing family and friends in New Orleans, and enjoyed every minute of it. We started the week with Maw-Maw's Christmas lunch on Sunday where we got to see the Orys. Emma Reese and Renee are getting so big and adorable!

Lisa Harrell and I compare belliesThen on Tuesday (Christmas Day), we had Christmas morning with my family, then we went to Mimi's for Christmas with the Wedig's, then back to my parents for Christmas supper with the Sehrts. It was an exhausting couple of days, but I don't think Christmas would be the same without the craziness!

Sehrt grandkidsBefore we left, Patrick's family gave us a baby shower! We got lots of great things - some really cute outfits. Our baby will be well dressed, that's for sure!
We had a great time over the holidays. It was strange to think that next year at this time, we'll be toting around an eight-month old! Patrick is priming everyone for Christmas in NC in '09. We'll have to see about that!
As for the development of the baby, he is now about 1 and 2/3 lb and 14 inches long. He's starting to put on some body fat. The nerve pathways in his ears are developing and more equipped to respond to sound. His wrinkled skin is beginning to smooth out and he's growing recognizible hair. I'm still feeling really good and starting to count down the last 3 months of pregnancy!
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! We have a lot to look forward to in the new year and are very excited about what's to come!

It was great to see ya'll for the holidays! And WOW, third trimester already! 'Lil P will be here soon and will definitely be stylin' in his Calvin Klein and Polo. HA! Happy January!
It was so wonderful to see you both. I wish you had brought Nellie to Aunt Donna's house. I could've brought Beast and Beauty and Aunt Donna would have killed us all! Great pictures and cute kids. It's hard to believe it's 2008 and the "year of the baby". Keep blogging.
Love,

Wow!! What an exhausting trip! I am glad we were able to see you boyh and now can't wait for the baby to come. It only gets better!
Love Aunt Debbie
I was wondering when you were going to get caught up on the blog. Great update!! All the pictures from the holidays look great. The rest of the time is going to fly by and before you know it ???? will be here!! (I'll be so glad to finally know his name).
I thought you had quit blogging until I realized I was still looking at 2007 and found the link to 2008. I'm such a computer wiz!!
The holidays were indeed crazy but fun. Always glad when they start and glad again when they're over. And you all should know that your dogs are always welcome at my house......as long as they don't come inside and Sid never sees them.
Be sure to leave some time slots for napping in the 3rd trimester. Your body will need the down time and it may be your last chance for naps for a long time.
Geaux Tigers!
Aunt Donna
