36 weeks and some change...

So I am 36 weeks and a few days.....so far so good! I have gained 25 pounds and feel every bit of it!!! I went to the doctor today and he said I was 1 1/2 cm dilated and 80% effaced....yeah!!!! Even though this is my first baby and I know "it" probably won't come early....I would still just LOVE it if he/she decided to come a little early...maybe before christmas....one can hope!!!
And now onto another fun subject....... Go AUBURN TIGERS!!!!!
The Scullen Family (specifically Brett) is just beside themselves that they beat Alabama...They play in the SEC championship on Saturday and if we win then it is onto Arizona for the National Championship. We had a game watching par-tay at our house for the Alabama game. The boys had a blast. Here is Ben, Stan, Jeremy, and Brett
The day after the game, the girls and I squeezed in some Christmas shopping. Here is a picture of Kate trying on some CRAZY sparkly high heels...too funny!!!
Tonight Brett made...from scratch...split pea soup...it was De-Lish!!!! Here are the pups munching on the leftover Ham bone after Brett was done with it.
They were in dog heaven that is for sure....And here they are with full stomachs....They looked like us after we ate Thanksgiving dinner....fat, happy, and relaxing!
We are pretty close to being done decorating for Christmas. Now I just need to finish wrapping the presents!!! I am really trying to get everything done so I can relax before this baby gets here.
The Christmas tree...
The mantel and stockings...and yes....that is 8 stockings this year--Brett, Heather, Emma Grace, Christopher, Kate, Sadie, Jake, and Baby S (Jake and Baby S will have to wait until next year to have their stocking monogrammed!)
Part of the Dining Room
The Table..
Emma Grace and I made this wreath.....fairly good for some amateurs...We put it together with lots of burlap, green felt and jungle bells....
Here is our back door "S"....I just love it. I got in on sale at Ballard Designs this year...
Here is the front door. We haven't put lights on the roof "yet"??..?? Not sure if we will get to it this year or not....There is always next year!!! (When we have a 1 year old!! Yikes!!)
My Dad is flying into town this weekend and I am soooooo excited!!! He hasn't seen the house yet and my quickly growing belly!!!

Meet Caroline Brooke Scullen!

Image
Wow...so much to say...so many pictures to show.... Caroline Brooke Scullen arrived on Monday, December 27, 2010 at 5:33pm. She was just perfect. We came home from the hospital on Wednesday and needless to say....the days have been a bit of a blur ever since! :) Unfortunately, both Brett and I have been really sick with sinus/chest cold nastiness. So, in addition to being a bit sleep deprived we also are totally under the weather...a bummer! I am trying to suffer through it without taking any of the "strong stuff" for meds... Anyways....things are getting better everyday! She is just so great and I know couldn't imagine our family without her. All 3 of the kids are so great with her...I think she never leaves one of her siblings arms... She weighed 7 lb 1 oz at birth and we left the hospital at 6 lb 10 oz. We went back for a weigh in yesterday and she know weighs 6 lb 5 oz. The doctors are now concerned that she has lost a little too much. I have been struggling...

The Scullen's Summer

Image
Well....the Scullen's have been busy. It is quite obvious since I haven't posted since...well...early May. Yikes. The summer has come and gone and school is back. We have had an exciting summer to say the least. Get ready for picture overload...I am going to try and catch us up...and these are just the highlights! Ha! Caroline and I kicked the summer off with the annual "Mother - Daughter" Trip in May.  It was fantastic.  Long gone are the days of  no babies, sleeping in, 3 cups of coffee, lots of late nights with yummy wine...No...this trip has evolved.  It is different, but just as refreshing.  I now come home from this trip utterly exhausted, but with my heart smiling, and my spirit revived!  I need my second moms and my best friends.  One year passes way too slow. This year we rented a home in Galveston, TX.  It was gorgeous.  Yup...could have moved in.  Loved it all. Daily walks by the "Grammies" and kiddos B.L.I.S.S...

One Big Update!

Image
Since it has been so long since I posted.... I thought I would do one big update on each member of the Scullen family to see what we have been up to! Here it goes - I am so proud of Brett - he has started running as of a few months ago and he has now run in 2 races. He is an official "runner". Here he is in his first 5K with his buddy Jay. He did great. Brett and I have been running at least 3x/week. I have had a slow transition back into being a runner. It is very humbling to say the least. I am feeling stronger now and just keep telling myself this is a slow process. Caroline, myself, and the BOB jogging stroller have had a lot of time together especially hoofing it up our massive hills in the area. Ha! I figured I didn't run while pregnant and just post baby which totals up to 7 months. Yikes! I am much happier when I have the time to run....That is the hardest part. Between working, mom duties, wife duties little is left over, but I am learning when to sn...
