Slept Through The Night

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie pie!  I have exciting news!  You actually slept through the night without a peep to wake us up!  I was stunned when I woke up and found you still sleeping on your little mattress next to us!  Wow!  Please continue to sleep through the nights for us .... it'll be nice to catch up on sleep before Peanut comes along.  :-P

Well, since you slept through the night, daddy and I ended up sleeping in too!  Once we all got ourselves together, we ran a few errands to pick up groceries and things for the house.  We were home by lunch, so I gave you some 'mixed berry' yogurt and a bottle .... you gobbled down that yogurt!  Daddy made some chicken for us.  It was good!  

Then, daddy made a quick trip to Uncle Brennan's house to print some more logos for the headstock.  Daddy thinks he figured out what happened yesterday, so we got a different sealer when we were out this morning and he was able to placed the logo this afternoon.  It looks really nice!  :-)

You and I played around as daddy worked on the mandolin.  Mimi and Grandpa Mike came by around 4pm to see the new floors.  Daddy also had a computer for Grandpa Mike to have.  Mimi brought over a kit to make a Christmas ornament with your hand print .... it took a few tries, but you eventually kept your hand straight and still for us.  :-P  We then all ate dinner together at an Italian place near our house.  You fell asleep in the car and continued to sleep through dinner as Mimi held you.  Once we were all done eating, you woke up and took a bottle.

This evening daddy and I worked on our Christmas crafts .... remember last year how the craft item was stockings .... well, this year it's paper plates.  Daddy and I finished our crafts as you played.  We'll do your craft tomorrow.  Last year, daddy won the craft contest, so we'll see if he can do it again!  We're meeting with Gigi's side of the family on sunday, December 26th, so that's when we'll see all the other crafts.  My secret santa person collects eagles .... so I made a paper plate eagle.  Daddy's person likes to shop .... so he made a paper plate purse with receipts and credit cards in it.  Your person is learning how to be potty trained .... so we're thinking of making a little potty!  :-)

I have exciting news!  Today, we are 30 weeks gestation with your sister Peanut!  You were born at 1:11pm at 30 weeks .... so .... we have officially made it longer in this pregnancy!  What a blessing!  At this point on everything is new territory for us!  We have an OB visit on tuesday with an ultrasound to check on Peanut's growth.  Please continue to pray that all goes well!  :-)

This evening, after the crafts, I gave you a bath and then you played around with daddy and I until you fell asleep.  Tomorrow, you have another head scan and helmet appointment.  And, Eliza is coming over for your physical therapy.  So, get some rest tonight!

Sleep tight little one!

I love you!  :-)
