Week 27

Hope everyone is having a wonderful time preparing for the holidays! We are doing well - we did make another trip to the doctor for a check-up and we are hanging in there. His hope is that we can go at least 6 more weeks (to 33 weeks) before Peanut decides to make his grand debut. I am doing my best to stay off my feet and drink plenty of water. Keith has done an amazing job of keeping things running at the house since I am not able to do as much as I once was.

This past weekend, my family gave us a baby shower at my sister's place. Keith went with me, as I am not allowed to drive very far alone anymore. He kept a good eye on me and didn't even complain when we had to stop at every restroom on the way. ;)

We had a great time and we were blessed to be able to enjoy celebrating with everyone. We truly appreciated all the support and love that was shared! Peanut received many sweet gifts to help prepare Mom and Dad for his arrival. One of my aunts shared with us a blanket that my Granny made about 28 years ago - we know Peanut will treasure this as much as we treasured Granny's influence in our lives.

Keith put up our Christmas tree this week, and that brings a big smile to our faces each night! We can't believe that next year Christmas will be so different...it is exciting to think of the changes the next year will bring (and a little intimidating!).

We are having the 3D/4D ultrasound soon and are very excited to see Peanut after all the commotion he has caused the past few weeks. I go back next week for a quick appointment, and then a full appointment during the week of Christmas.
