Visitors!

Hey everyone! Last week some of Brian's family came in to see us and this week it was my turn with some of my family coming to visit. Mom and P.A. (a.k.a. Grammy-- or Mouse as Laney has named her and PaPaw) came to San Antonio for their annual visit. P.A. has work meetings every year here right after Thanksgiving and mom comes with him to do some Christmas shopping. It's nice because on the weekend they come stay at our house and we just get to hang out and cook and watch football. Although we wish Tech had been playing in the Big 12 championship (maybe next year) we were still able to watch some really good games. Me and Mom went to do all of the last minute shopping for the hospital--it is unbelievable all of the stuff you need to get ready for a baby! I think we are finally completely ready for him to come--maybe not mentally but we are getting there. It's still all pretty surreal! I'm so glad mom was here to do all of it with me because I probably would have forgotten half of it, I think we made about 20 loops around the store before we finally checked out---but we got it done! Now all I need to do is pack us a bag for the hospital--just in case he decides to come early. I made mom take a picture of me and Brian for Boone's baby book since we didn't have one of us since I have been in full pregnancy mode and I made mom take one with me too. Brian was determined to have the deer in the picture with us so I will at least put one with the deer on here too. I think he would have cut me and mom out of the picture if it meant getting a better shot of him! But that's o.k. we are pretty used to that by now. Meg sent a wreath for Boone's room with mom. She made it herself and we love it! It totally suits him (and he's not even here yet, but we have a pretty good feeling he will be like his daddy). It has little fishing gear and ducks all over it--it's really cute! I hung it on his door--now if he was only here to enjoy it with us. I'll have to put a picture of it in his scrapbook and get a picture of him with it when he gets here. Thanks Aunt Meg--you're the best! I also wanted y'all to see the cutest little girl ever, my niece Laney. She is sitting next to the giant Santa at my mom's house-- I think it's about Laney's size. I wish I was going to be in Odessa for Christmas this year to watch her open presents. I know she is going to have a ball, but we will be there next year for a pretty exciting Christmas with Laney, Jake and Boone! Oh that's going to be interesting! Well I hope you all had a great weekend too and we will keep you posted on things to come. We go to the doctor on Thursday to see if Boone has made any progress or if he is any closer to being here so we will be sure to let you know! Fingers Crossed! We are ready for our little man to be here with us (me especially)!
