First of all, there is no baby yet. I have started receiving emails making sure that the reason for my lack of posting wasn't because I had the baby. Nope. My lack of posting stems from a busy Christmas week and a modem blow up! However, for a quick baby update....I am almost 37 weeks and still on bedrest and taking the medication. I am seriously tired of both. I hate the medicine and I am starting to hate my house. I am praying very, very hard that I graduate from both of these things when I turn 37 weeks on Sunday. Baby Boy will officially be full term! I am so thankful to have made it this far but in a weird twist of events, I just want him here now. If he wants to come at this point, I say go for it. I am seriously a huge whale (the ultrasound last week estimated that he was over 7 pounds at 35 weeks....and yes, I know, those can be off by up to a pound. But still, 6 pounds would be good) and I can't imagine getting any bigger. My second round of maternity clothes are already too small and I am WAY too cheap to buy anymore. And honestly, if I have to watch another episode of House Hunters.....things are going to get ugly. As for the important stuff though, my doctor said he looks wonderful and healthy on the ultrasound, so really we are just buying him time now :) Thank you for all the prayers over the past 6 weeks. They have worked! Nobody, especially the doctors, expected me to make it this far. Turns out I am pretty freaking awesome at bedrest.
Now on to more fun stuff! Christmas! We had a great Christmas here in Houston. My parents came and stayed with us for a while and Zack's sister, Katie, was here also! I broke out of the house Christmas Eve (don't tell my doctor who seems to think I should only be allowed to sit on my couch...) and we had a wonderful dinner at my in-laws and then everybody came to our house for Christmas Day. Jonathan LOVED all his toys (which consisted almost entirely of sports equipment....) and he also loved having all his favorite people in the same house for so long. He just played and played and played. He was so tired, he took 3 hour naps each day and slept nearly 13 hours Christmas night! I guess all the festivities wore him out. Seriously though, it was so nice to have a change of pace around here!! And now, pictures :)
Santa came! When Jonathan walked around the corner and saw his new toys, he just stood there wide-eyed and said "whoa!"
He loves his new bike! I am so glad the sun has finally come back so he can ride it OUTSIDE now...
Jonathan ate almost as much good food as I did. Almost....
He got a new set of golf clubs and ever since, he walks around with one in his hand. He always looks like he is about to hit something/somebody with it, but so far he has been good. He must take after his Papa....he just likes to have a club nearby in case there is a ball to hit :)
