"Keep Your Legs Crossed"

Brig gets home in 3 days! Yipee!

All I have to do is keep this baby inside me until then.

Brig's Aunt Terry told me just to keep my legs crossed. Hopefully that is all it takes to keep Duke in there for a little longer.

It's been a pretty relaxed couple weeks, but I have had to have some extra monitoring because I'm measuring small.

The Monday after Thanksgiving I had an appointment and they basically told me that I might have to deliver that day if things didn't check out okay.

I was a little concerned, seeing as Brig had just left the day before and his mom wasn't due to arrive until Wednesday. However, the little guy surpassed their expectations and I was sent home. I was grateful that later that night I was able to get a Priesthood blessing. It helped me calm down and relax a bit. (Thank you Jake and brother!)

Then I had another appointment on Wednesday and it was like nothing had even been wrong on Monday. I think they just like to stress pregnant women out when they get close to their due dates.

Brig's mom got here late Wednesday night after her flight in Seattle had been delayed about 6 hours. Then we spent the following week cooking meals and freezing them and doing other projects that she had brought up. It was great to have her here and it passed the time so quickly.

My mom is now here, and Cheryl is back in Utah. My mom is planning on staying for a couple weeks to help when Duke actually makes his appearance.

My mom brought some presents with her so I had a little bit of Christmas the other day. Nicole and Tal have Brig and I for the family rotation and I was informed that I had to open their present early so I could enjoy it during the rest of the Christmas season.

Look at this AWESOME nativity they gave us!

I love it!
