Where to begin! This December has felt like we were stuck in a mad house. Christams time is always so busy anyways but now that we are married it's like the busy feeling just doubled. Not that that is a bad thing. :) For Christams this year my in-laws took us to New York for 5 days. Uh... Shut up! My favorite place ever at my favorite time of year with some of my favorite people! We seriously played non-stop and Greg and Diane completely spoiled us. I think I gained at least 8 pounds from all the food we ate. The broadway plays we saw were Spiderman, Lion King and the Rocketts. Lion King was my favorite. Holy cow the music was so good and the props were amazing. I would hate to be the one that had to make all the props and costumes. Poor buggers. Some of my favorte things from the trip were: Lion King, Walking the Brooklyn Bridge, A carriage ride through Central Park, buying a game from FAO Schwartz just to say we have something from the gretaest toy store ever, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, Going to an NFL game, buying a pair ofpants that were super on sale from Saks and 5th Ave, Seeing the famous Rockefeller Tree, Seeing the 9/11 memorial, eating hot dogs off the street at midnight and of course the shopping!
Yep huge Christams Ornaments

Then we had quite a surprise as a Christmas Present....
Presenting Beau Bland!
This is how Meg's day started out on Christmas Day.
And... this is her later that night.
Meg went into pre-term labor. She hadn't been feeling good since Christmas Eve and when we were all eating dinner at my mom's she kept having pains. So Dev started timing them and what do you know, they were coming every 4-5 min. So she was having contractions and after about an hour went into IMC on 5300 S. When she got there she was dialated to a 3 and 80% effaced. So they tried for awhile to get her to stop in her labor but by midnight she was at a 4. So they gave her an epideral. The next day I woke up frantic at 10am thinking I had missed the birth but after talking to Meg I learned that she was still at a 4 because of the epideral. They were going to take her off to see if anything would happen and by around noon she was at a 7. So we all ran over there and the baby finally came at 6:53pm. Love him already and can't wait to spoil him! He was bigger than we all thought. He weighed 4.11lbs and was 17.75" long. They named him Beau Scott Bland. Love the name!

He was trying to open his eyes here but the goop wasn't allowing it.
Now Beau and Brooklyn have some things in common...
both their names start with a B and they both came early!
