Christmas was WONDERFUL to us! God is good! Having everyone in town for the holidays is always fun! I got to see my dad and Sharon, and they stayed with us, so we enjoyed their company even more! On the 23rd, I made breakfast for Stacy and fam, Grandpa and Joan, Dad and Sharon, Jenny, and Rod and I. I made the MOST DELICIOUS pancakes ever! Nothing better than suger, buttermilk, sour cream, and flour all mixed together. After a mound of pancakes and a container of syrup, we were COMATOSED.
After Christmas, we were back to work....in SLOW motion! Rod and I just went for our four week appointment. Everything looks good so far. BEST news of all...I only gained 4 lbs the past four weeks, which included the holidays! Baby Tootle's heart beat was 150 bpm! Nice work, kiddo!
If you know me at all, you know I can't decide on anything. I'm in a constant state of deciding. Well, Rod and I have changed the Tootletot's name AGAIN. We really like this one. As Melanie Sturm would say, "We are done and done."
RYAN DONOVAN TOOTLE

Doesn't that sound nice?!?!
Hope you all have a blast for New Year's Eve! I'll be lounging around...hopefully in comfy cotton pants, next to a fire!
Love to all!

Christmas Time at the Tootles
Here's what's going on in our lives! Enjoy our Christmas tree! We love it, and don't want to ever take it down!
Mattie Sue is in town for a whole week, without Mommie!!!! She's doing great, and having a ball at Grandma's house. I think she's just excited to see her Auntie Jessica. She's pointed at my belly and said "baby"! So precious. I love her to pieces and just want to eat her up!

The Gender has been Determined!!!
Looks like our little Tootletot is a BOY!!!!
Rod and I were both SHOCKED, and THRILLED!! We just knew we were having a girl. Finding out was such a fun surprise for both of us. The baby is healthy and just now fitting snuggly in the womb. He weighs 7 ounces! 17 weeks and two days. So, this will be the first baby boy in our family!
We're still working on names. So far, Gavin Donovan is our name of choice! It will most likely change, but hopefully not. I really like this one!

Bump Watch
Here is a beloved photo of "The Bump". Take note of the fat roll on my back. I like to call that "extra skin". I'm feeling great, and just counting down the minutes until Dec. 11th. NOTE: this photo was taken at work by my dear friend Jan. Eric, I promise I'm working. Now that we got a camera, I'll try to send out pics more frequently. Next post will be with pics of our Christmas tree and mantle. I LOVE it, and seriously don't know that I'll be able to take it down.

All is Well in the Tootle Household
Hello to All!!! As most of you know, Rod had his shoulder surgery yesterday morning. Everything went well. The doc found a second tear for which he repaired. Once we got home, both of us slept all day long. Getting up at 5am, in the frigid cold, doesn't fly with us.
While Rod was in recovery, I had a doctor's appointment. I hated to leave Rod, but really wanted to make sure all was well with the Tootlebug. And, yes everything is moving along fine. The nurse measured my belly and we listened for the heartbeat. Belly measures 16 centimeters, which would make me 16 weeks (yep, 4 months completed...right on schedule). And, the heartbeat was perfect. She seemed to think its beats were between 140 and 150 bpms. She gave me some acne cream to put on my hormonal explosion that has taken over my once clear skin. Ohhh, do I love my doc.
I'm getting a camera for Christmas! We hope to get it next week, but maybe I can get Rod to get it this weekend. As soon as we get it, I'll take another "bump watch" (thanks Krissy) picture.
We put up our Christmas tree and decorated our mantle. I don't ever want to take it down. Its soooo warm and cozy in our house. Our stockings are hanging, and soon we plan to put a pink or blue stocking on the mantle as well!!! (Dec. 11th we find out....lets all hope the baby is in the right direction for us to take a peek).
Happy holidays and love to all of you!
