Thanksgiving Weekend

Jeff, Milo, and I had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We celebrated with the Webb side this year, so there were a lot of us to say the least. On friday, we had our annual Christmas party so those who live far away wouldn't have to travel back to SLC in December. It was a riot!

This is Milo sitting on Santa's lap for his very first time at the party. You may recognize the twinkle in Santa's eye.....Look closer. That would be my dad :) He was the lucky one who got to have all 17 Webb grandkids sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted this year. He was such a good sport! He even sang Jingle Bells with the kids, complete with a hearty Ho, Ho, Ho when we were laughing all the way. It was very strange to see him as an obese white haired man though. Jeff and I were laughing about it for hours after.

This is just a random photo of 'Lo. I felt like straightening his hair with my flat iron, just to see what it looked like. This was the result. HAHAHAHAHA poor kid.

What the?????

Whose ready for a shock? So when Jeff and I started the adoption process about a million people told us stories of someone they knew getting preggers right after they adopted. At the time we were like, " Yeah, yeah, blah, blah. Well that's not going to be us. We have a wierd-o uterus, no ovulation, and a few other factors we're dealing with here." And then the thought left our minds. Well imagine our suprise when 4 weeks ago Jeff finally conviced me to buy a pregnancy test (after about 3 weeks of non-stop sickness, emotional outburts, and certain body parts getting noticably larger ha ha ha) the second line appeared before I had even finished washing my hands. That's right ladies and gentleman......I'm pregnant!!! I was filled with a lot of different emotions at first. The main ones being hysterical fright and complete and utter shock. After my last pregnancy ended in miscarriage, I didn't even want to think about birthing a baby again. And we are so happy and content with Milo, I didn't want anything to mess with that. But we were also thrilled, of course. We went to the doctor a few days later to find I was already 9 weeks along and things were progressing very smoothly.

So....Here we are. I'm in my thirteenth week and a few days ago we had yet another ultrasound and there was little Cletus the Fetus bouncing around like he was hopped up on something (that may have something to do with the Mountain Dew slurpee I have been drinking literally every single day for the past 3-4 weeks:)

We are so excited for Milo to be a big brother! He and Cletus the Fetus will be just over one year apart if I make it to my due date (May 12). We couldn't have asked for anything better and we are so stoked!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered.....He's Ours!!!

We have had the craziest, best week ever! On Wednesday Oct. 28th we went to the courthouse and finalized Milo's adoption. It was a pretty standard procedure, but really special for us. This is a picture of us with our sweet judge after the procedings (hence the hideous redness of my face from crying:) And yes, she commented on how cute Lo's outfit was, and I must say I agree!

Next up on Saturday, we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in the morning and had Milo sealed to us. It was such a special experience! He looked so handsome all dressed in white and we had so much support from both of our families. Steph was nice enough to take pictures of us that morning, so I'll post those when we get them.

That night (since it was Halloween after all) we had the annual Webb Family Halloween Party. I love it every year! It was a great way to top off my favorite holiday. I dressed up as Cruella and the boys were both dalmations. Jeff was really happy about the nose I drew on him. He loves dressing up (I hope you can sense my sarcasm). Also, Jeff's brother Jared carves some amazing pumpkins every year for the party. This time he suprised us with a special tribute to the newest member of the Webb fam. Pretty amazing right?

Finally, on Sunday we had Milo's blessing. It was made extra special since it was on my birthday. Thanks again to eveyone who came, brought something, and supported us. We never would have made it through this crazy week without our huge network of peeps that love us!
