Birthday party and doctor's appointment

Well it has been a couple of crazy days with Emily's birthday being on Saturday and then having a doctor's appointment yesterday but I have survived and I feel pretty good. I can't believe that it has been three years since Emily was born and it seems so much like yesterday that I was just bringing her home from the hospital. She was so happy to have her family and a few friends over to play with...although she was more interested in playing then anything else and that was OK. It was good to see my family as well as Jeremy's parents and grandmother-hated to miss Richard and Julie but their lives are very busy this time of year...My brother and his wife were able to make it and it was good to see my niece Amy-she is getting so big and I can't believe that she will soon be 2!! Courtney of course is doing well and can't wait for the end of December as it looks like my other niece will be making her arrival just a little early. I was really glad to see that my dad was able to make it as he is not doing well health wise and will probably have to have surgery within the next month or so. I ask for lots of prayer there because it is always hard when one of your parents is not doing well as he is.

Now for the doctor's appointment that I had yesterday...Dr. said that everything looked really good and that the baby was weighing about 4 oz. already...baby is very active and he said that it looked as though it were a boy but that it is still just a bit early to tell so our definite will have to wait for another time. Overall I am doing good and he said that the placenta looked very well. I will do my best to post pictures from the birthday party as well as the sonogram that I got of the baby's face as soon as I can. Until then...everyone have a great week!!
