checkin' on baby nash

Pearson's last day of preschool before Christmas was on December 10th and he doesn't go back to school until 9th.  When I first saw how long his break was I was a little sad because we have really gotten into a great routine with him going to school 2 days a week, but I have SO enjoy this special time with my little man.  In just seven weeks he won't be my only little man and I'll have to split my time with boys.  One of the luxuries of having Pearson is school is being about to go to appointments (whether they be doctor's appointment or hair appointments or what not) without him.  While he has been on break I have had two doctor's appointments.  The first appointment my Mom came with me so we could go shopping but this time it was just me and my boy!!

Waiting time at an OB office is always sooooooooo unpredictable.  You never know when the doc is going to have to deliver a baby or take care of an emergency!  I absolutely loved my old OB but one thing about her office was that she was really slow.  I was always at the office for about an hour.  With my new doctor, I am always in and out in 30 minutes.  I packed plenty of tricks in P's diaper bag just in case the wait was longer than 30 minutes.  

We had a snack in the waiting room.  
{craisins & yogurt raisins......a fav right now}
 While we waiting in the exam room we played with cars and a sticker book.  
And when Dr. Harn came in I busted out the iPad because I knew that would keep him out of our way!! While the iPad did keep his attention the whole time Pearson did look up when I told Dr. Harn about my belly pain and said "Mommy be-wee hurt", then he looked up again while we listened to Nash's heartrate.  He was mesmerized by the sound......atleast he wasn't scared like the first appointment he went to way back in August. 
After our doctor's appointment we picked up Matt at his office and had a family lunch date.  It's been so much fun having Matt's office closer to home and on the way home from my doctor's appointments. We tried out a new restaurant near his office called Uno Due Go.  It wasn't bad but I probably wouldn't go again.  The soup/sandwich combo I got was very similar to what I get at Panera Bread and I would much rather have my Panera Bread sandwich.  
It's hard to believe that there are only 7 more weeks until Baby Nash is here.  We are now at the 2 week increment doctor's appointments and then my weekly visits start at the end of next month.

christmas cookies

Ever since we made our cooking video announcing Baby No. 2 Pearson has loved cooking in the kitchen with me.  I knew this was the perfect year to start our tradition of making cookies for Santa.  
This was actually a first for me because I had never made sugar cookies from scratch.  I even had to borrow a rolling pin from grandma!!
Pearson wanted to do everything all by himself.  After he would cut the cookies out he would proudly say "I did it!"
Our cute little cookies waiting to be baked.  We halved the recipe and it still made almost 3 dozen cookies.  
 The hardest part about making cookies is waiting for them to bake.  
 While the cookies cooked and cooled, Matt gave Pearson a bath.  When he was all done, I had the cookies iced and we put the sprinkles on together.  
The cookies turned out pretty cute and were pretty tasty.  
 Our night wouldn't have been complete without a little tasting of the cookies.  
They were definitely Pearson Approved!!
 What a fun new tradition we started in baking Christmas cookies!!

food truck friday

We've been meaning to go eat lunch with Daddy all summer long, and we just hadn't gotten around to it.  I'm so thankful that for the past 5 years Matt has made the drive to downtown Dallas for work.  I sure wouldn't be able to handle it.  Since Matt will be starting a new job closer to home in a few weeks, I figured Pearson and I better get out to Dallas to see all of his co-workers one last time. 
It worked out perfectly because some Food Trucks came to Children's yesterday and we got to have a fun little lunch date!!
I got mac n cheese and a brisket sandwich from OinknMoo BBQ.  It was good but not near as good as Matt's lunch!!
 Matt got fajita nachos from Rock N Roll Tacos.  They were amazing!!
Pearson got soooooooooooo sweaty while we were waiting for our food.  Thank goodness Matt's office was close so we could take our food back upstairs to eat.
I'm going to be so glad when Matt is working closer to home so we can do lunch dates more often!!
Look at how Pearson has changed over the last few years of us visiting Daddy at work!!
For almost half of our drive home Pearson cried, "Daddy's work, Daddy's work".  He was so sad to leave.  I know he will happy when he can visit him more often for lunch too!!
