33 weeks!

Well little one, we have done it!  We made it over 33 weeks!  We have a little more than 2 weeks left on bed rest, unless you decide to come sooner. (but we are praying you stay there for awhile yet!)

Our time in the hospital has been pretty calm this past week! We thank God for that!  Each day that you stay inside is a blessing, and we hope that trend continues.  Although, we cannot wait to meet you, and get the family back together! I still get to see your sweet face everyday, and you cannot imagine the joy that brings me!  Even with our daily ultrasounds, we still don't know if you are a boy or a girl.  We do know you are beautiful, and a precious gift from God, and we cannot wait until the day when we can find out, and get to kiss on that sweet face!  If you don't decide to come sooner, we have a scheduled C-section for Dec. 26th the day after Christmas!  I hope you don't hate us forever for that date, but that is the day you are 36 weeks old, and the Doctors want you out by then!! Wasn't really our choice-we can blame the Doctors for the date picked!  But we are excited to welcome you into our family as a little late Christmas gift! There is no better way to spend the day after Christmas in my opinion.  Christmas day we get to celebrate Jesus, and the Man who brought us a new life, and makes us a new creation.  And the very next day, we get to celebrate our own special gift from God.  Which by the way is what your name means....we didn't know when we picked out your names it would have more than one meaning! But God always has a way of surprising us that way, doesn't He?

The kiddos are still doing really good, and are having a great time with Mimi and Papaw!  Loving every minute of the extra attention they get, with all the aunts and uncles and great grandparents around.  It makes my Momma heart happy to see them all having so much fun, and getting so much love!

Greg has been busy at home.  Slowly getting things ready for us all to be home, and taking care of Decaf and the cats!  Thankfully a good friend volunteered to keep Kona while we are all spread out all over the place.  That has been a huge relief for us, knowing we don't have to have someone there to let her out every couple hours.  We also have another amazing friend that has been going and letting Decaf out when Greg decides to spend the night up here.  Another huge help, because then he doesn't have to drive back and forth so much!

We have been blessed majorly by friends, family, and church family!  Through all the visits, cards, presents, help with our animals, and kiddos.  We couldn't do it without you all supporting, and praying for us!
