We had another check up today, and everything continues to look really good. Nothing new to report from last week. We're just hanging out and waiting for this baby to come. Today I realized I'm starting to get a little impatient and just can't wait to meet this baby.
We survived Dave's last road trip before the baby comes. We knew we were tempting fate with his last two trips, but now we're in the clear because he won't travel again until after the baby is born. That is a big relief to know that he will be here for the birth.
My mom chose to stay on with us for a little while longer, so she's here until the 8th. But then she returns again on the 16th for my parents' previously planned trip to meet the baby. I'm hoping it will come before she leaves because goodness knows she's invested all this time being here, so I'd hate for her to miss the birth by just a couple days. But I'm so glad she'll get to go home and rejuvenate for at least a little while before coming back. She has been a huge blessing to us.
We had a good Christmas with my family staying with us, despite most of us sharing a stomach bug (thanks Charlie), and it seeming like every day there was something needing tended to (light bulbs, smoke detector batteries, car "service engine soon" lights). I'm keeping my sense of humor about all the little things that keep going on around us, and remaining thankful that merely annoyances and not anything major.
I'll try to post Christmas pictures soon, but I wanted to be sure to post a baby update, because I cannot tell you enough how much your thoughts and prayers have meant to me.
