Baby Bailynn K, and IT'S SNOWING!!!

We have all been a bit busy. Harrison experienced his first real snow day. Russ got older (his 29th was Saturday) and I managed to somehow catch a lovely cold. Boo. On the lighter side, we have had many people participate in our virtual shower Alyssa did for Bailynn, and we are much appreciative to you all! Transitioning from everything blue to everything pink is not a cheap task! Thanks for the help!

As for baby Bailynn...today we got to see her sweet face again! I have posted the US pictures below. There is one of her profile, and one of her face, plus the cross section of her fist....our little Boxer! That is what it feels like anyway! She is already 6 pounds, (Whoa Momma!) so they estimated her being born at about 8-8.5 pounds. This is when we all start to pray that she makes her arrival early :) H only weighed in at 7, 13...so naturally 8.5 pounds sounds a bit large for me. Everyone else seems to think that is just fine, of course. She did get the 8 out of 8 score for the ultrasound. It measures the baby's surrounding fluid, size, heart, and so on...this means she is a very healthy little lady. Hoorah! She has pretty pouty lips and a cute nose like H! We can't wait to meet our daughter...only a few more weeks!!




And, I know I have complained and complained about how freaking cold it is here, but there is something to be said about smogless air. I must say, that when you stop freaking out about how cold you are, one can actually appreciate how amazingly perfect it is...forgetting about the natural reaction to survive and all. Look at how crisp it all looks! I LOVE IT! even if it is only while I'm sitting at home wrapped in a blanket in front of our fireplace! haha!


We had a good weekend, as you can see.
I FINALLY got the Christmas cards made, and I will be mailing them out tomorrow... They are so fun this year! H just makes it all worthwhile! He is sharing the REAL snow with you all!

what a beautiful picture of the Atkins family in the snow! I can't believe it is already time for Bailynn to be here. Love and miss you all.

Hey baby girl !
Look for a package coming
your way.
Simply love the pics of baby B.
I have a strong suspicion, she's
gonna favor her brother! :D

The shot in front of tree, with
the snow all about, is priceless.
Love you,

How did you find such an awesome tree? I love the background!! We almost had snow last week...Houston got it and the Hill Country got it but not Schertz. Only hail here. Maybe there's hope. I would love to see Kinsey play in it. I bet that was priceless!
