It really is mid January! Ah!!! Where does the time go? It seems to be a trend on how long time passes between my posts to you. I really do apologize, but I promise I will catch you up on everything that has been going on since the beginning of December when I last posted.
Today, marks 34 weeks and 3 days preggo. Crazy how fast this time has passed by! It really seems like just the other day we were telling people we were expecting you, and now you will be here in about 5 (give or take) weeks! I-N-S-A-N-E! Your Dad and I couldn't be more ready to meet you! You are now measuring 2 1/2 weeks ahead and according to our last sonogram, at 32 weeks, you were measuring 5 lbs 13 oz (whoa). I like to refer to you as an over achiever, you definitely don't want to disappoint in the size category when you are born! We knew you would be big, and now there is no doubt about it! The doctor is now talking about a date to induce you! She said that if you don't come on your own before 39 weeks, that she will induce you then. And just for the record, 39 weeks exactly, happens to be Valentine's Day! The bet is on if you are coming before then or if you will give a whole new meaning to Baby Love!
Our two showers were so super fantastic! We truly felt the love from everyone! The gifts couldn't have been any better, we really stocked up on the necessities and then some for you. Each shower was very special and unique, and I promise to post pictures of the events soon! My problem is, the pictures are on my camera, and I can't find the cable to connect it to the computer to pull off the pics! Ah! In the mean time, here are two pictures, one from each shower. I will post more pics soon and elaborate more on the showers then!
Aunt Michelle and Aunt Stephanie with your favorite parents at the couples shower Saturday night.
Christmas was probably one of the best yet! Dad was off both Christmas Eve and Day this year, which always makes it that much more special for me. The good news is, he will be off both Eve and Day next year, for your first Christmas- yay! Christmas Eve was spent with the Willson's over at Uncle Brent and Aunt Erica's We, of course, had our traditional matching pajamas that Gran Jan gives us every year and presents galore! Christmas Day, Dad and I spent the day at the Kogler's. We always open presents first thing when we get there, and then have lunch followed by lazy-ness and football. It was a great Christmas celebration. I am beginning to think that next Christmas will probably top them all!
Here is a picture of you on Christmas Day 2011! (31 weeks, 6 days)
New Years was pretty low key. Dad had to work New Years Day, so we just went to dinner on New Years Eve with some friends, and were in bed by 11. Didn't even get to ring in the new year! That's okay, my sleep is way more valuable to me, at this point, then watching 2012 come in. 2012 is going to be a BIG big B-I-G year!!!
Well, Baby Luke, that my darling, catches us up to current day. Your Dad and I are thrilled that we only have about 5 weeks left before we get to meet you. Until then, we pray that you are growing strong and we give thanks to Him for creating a perfect you!
With all of my heart, I love you so so much! See you in a few weeks!
Mom
