Deck the Halls 11-08

Joshua loved decorating the Christmas tree. However, he loved undecorating it even better. A few days after decorating it there were no ornaments on the bottom 2 feet of the tree.Ryan was so into decorating this year. He was singing Christmas songs and having a great time.
I can't believe how much this picture reminds me of Justin at this age.
Justin loved to put the ornaments on the tree especially when he was on the ladder. I can't tell you how many times Jeff or I removed Joshua from the ladder. I was so glad when Jeff took it back to the garage.
This is my very favorite picture of the day.

I am glad to be back to blogging finally. I have to go back and do in chronologically because I am crazy like that. Jeff blogged about the baby and it's a good thing because left up to me everyone would still think I was pregnant. I refuse to blog out of over - I know I'm crazy. The baby pictures are coming soon.

So Many Decisions

Should I eat?

That's it! I'll sleep.

Last night right after birth



This morning after some sleep

In Labor

We went in and had an amnio and the baby's lungs are mature. We went to AF to be induced and are currently waiting for the baby to be delivered. Contractions are strong and regular, but not enough for an epidural yet. We expect that the baby will come sometime early morning. we'll keep you posted. We made it past Christmas!

10 Days

So we saw the Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor today and things look good. Debra will have an amniocentesis on Jan 2nd and then if the baby's lungs are ready will be induced that day.

Merry Christmas!

Back Home

We are back home. The doctors let Debra come home for now. They finally figured out what is going on and are not as concerned about it now. She will still deliver early, right now it should be the 26th or later, but they don't expect any problems with the baby or her. Thanks for all your prayers.

Let Me Amend That

Pray that Debra and the baby will be healthy and recover quickly if he needs to come on Monday.
