33 weeks and 4 days!

Today Ryan gives his final exam and then after grading his classes will be finished for this semester. He will then be focusing on research and preparing for his next semester classes. We are both hoping that these few weeks will be a time for him to get ahead :)

This past weekend my family came to stay with us for the weekend for the Dickson Family Christmas celebration. There were 14 of us, with 9 adults and 5 kids in the house it was a busy but fun weekend. We had a christmas tree decorating contest, fondue night, and celebrated my dad's birthday as well as a big christmas day celebration with presents and a big meal. They left on Sunday and thankfully did not get stuck in any bad weather.

The next few weeks for us is filled with doctor's appts, christmas visitors, and the last touch ups in Joshua's room. Probably some christmas baking in there and a bit of shopping left to do.

Also, we are enjoying getting all the fun christmas cards and pictures. This year you will be getting a card from us as well but we are going to do a birth announcement/new years update letter when Joshua comes :)

Joshua is continuing to grow as am I. My doctor said last week that I am right on track and am doing well. So that was encouraging to hear. We have one more appt. next week and then we start going weekly and begin the joy of physical exams each time. I'm still not excited to go through labor but am getting more and more excited to hold my little boy. I actually can't think too much about holding Joshua or I get all weepy -- hmmm... a little hormonal perhaps?

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the holidays!

Can't wait to get the call that Joshua is here! It's amazing how quickly the time is flying by. Any chance we can see some pictures of his room ... :)
