Dr. Kaci!

We are very excited to welcome the first doctor into our family!

Tif's cousin, Kaci graduated from Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas this last weekend.

We know that it has been a very exhausting three years for her and we were happy to be able to share in the joy of her graduation!

She is planning to head back to Amarillo to begin her practice...we are very excited to move to Amarillo this fall so that we can start our routine visits!

It is all about the hood...

Cort and Cindy got to come down from Kansas City! It was so wonderful to see everyone!

We also are finally getting around to Christmas cards!

Here is the picture that we are sending to family members just for fun...

Here is the one that is going to dad's customers! A little more refined!



Less than 3 weeks left until our little bundle is scheduled to arrive! 19 days to be exact!

Thank you all so much for the suggestions, prayers and thoughts. We will find out on Thursday if our little guy is head-down or not- pray that he is! :)

No matter what happens, I just have to say that carrying this baby has truly been an incredible experience. It is the neatest feeling in the world to know that this little guy in my tummy will be out and in our arms in just a few short weeks, but I am not in any rush. I am just relishing these last few days. Thankfully, I am still sleeping well and comfortable for the most part.

I did have a bit of a reality check in birthing class this weekend though! I was informed by our instructor that you should be packed and ready to go to the hospital no later than 36 weeks...so I was a couple of weeks behind on that. Because Chris and I are the youngest and the first couple due in the class, everyone looked at us to see if we were packed yet. Of course with the rush from finals work, and just feeling great, I had packing on my list of things to do, but it was at the bottom!

As of tonight, all baby clothes are washed and put away, the car seat is in the car and a baby bag is packed for the hospital with another bag about half filled with some of my things. We are finalizing our birth plan with our doctor on Thursday and then sending in our pre-registration paperwork...

Speaking of Thursday- I just want to take a minute to thank my wonderful husband. Thursday, December 18th will be our 4 year anniversary. I am so thankful for Chris and even more thankful to be called his wife. Thank you for 6 wonderful years together...Every time I stop to think about with whom and were I could have ended up, I am amazed and so grateful that things worked out the way that they did. You are my very best friend and I am so excited to have a baby with you...you are going to be a great dad.
