So many updates!

Well, we have been very busy! Last weekend Angie and Tiffany threw us the most wonderful shower I could have imagined at mom's house. It was truly a wonderland of baby boy Tinker delights!

We are so blessed and this baby is already so loved! We received so many wonderful gifts. The stroller and car seat are out of the box, assembled and ready! All the cute clothes are folded or hung and ready to be worn, and all the books are on display ready to be read to the little man. In fact, we have already started reading some of our favorites to him at night. Thank you so much, Angie, Tiffany, Aunt Brenda, Aunt Julia, Nannie and Mom for making the special day so amazing! And thank you everyone for your gifts and love!

We also had a doctor's appointment the day before the shower. We had yet another ultrasound to check on the low laying placenta condition. Praise the Lord, we are now in the clear. The placenta needs to be a minimum of 3.5 CM above the cervix in order to not be diagnosed with low laying placenta. In the 4 weeks since the previous appointment, the placenta moved all the way up to 6.4 CM! So, everything is 100% healthy and we have no more risk. The doctor has even allowed us to make the trip to Panama this coming weekend for Schana and Jorge's wedding! This little boy will have been on a plane 18 times before he makes his debut and traveled back and forth to Houston, Colorado and Panama! How's that for his first show and tell.

We have also successfully finished our prepared parenthood class. We learned what to expect before, during and after labor as well as how to bathe, dress, feed, and buckle up the baby. I hope we can remember it all once he arrives!

This week, we had a visit from the Vegas. Della, Avery and Kathryn came in on Wednesday afternoon and stayed with us until Sunday. We went swimming, shopping, cooked some wonderful meals and treats and made a trip to Sea World! It was a wonderful visit!
