36 Weeks: The Home Stretch

We are 36 weeks plus some and it seems to be all down hill from here. We met with the doctor last week and decided to go ahead and schedule a c-section for January 4th! That's 20 days from now. Unbelievable! Of course that could change at anytime, but for now that's what we're looking at. Just have to wait to see if Sydney wants to make an appearance before we go in and get her. : )

Abby is doing wonderful. She's still plugging along through her 12 hour shifts and still getting plenty of rest for Sydney. We are both very anxious but also very ready for Sydney to just be here with us. Abby and I are extremely excited about spending time with our families this Christmas. It feels like once Christmas is here we can finally relax and concentrate on preparing for Sydney.

There's been a few other happenings since the last blog. First off, we had some snow in Murphy a couple of weeks ago! It was coming down hard on our stubborn little live oak in the back yard.



Abby's co-workers hosted a shower for her at the hospital on December 5th. I actually got to attend this one on my lunch break. We appreciate all of the ladies from the Nursery and Labor & Delivery for the amazing gifts! You can watch a little slideshow from the shower in the top right of the blog.
