Happy New Year's Eve!

We are gearing up for our big party tonight in room #288. The recreation director at Piedmont has already stopped by to drop off our New Year's Hats, blowers and noise makers. I have been advised to just "blow my horn" if I need the nurse tonight. haha. Bill and I are going to order in some yummy food and toast to 2011! New Year's is one of my favorite Holidays, it just creates such hope and excitement. I am ready for a wonderful 2011 and am so excited to spend this evening with my sweet husband.

We had a great doctor's appointment yesterday, it looks like my fluid has gone up to 6.1 and Baker has grown to 2lbs, 3 oz. That is 6 oz in two weeks! Go Baker! They are continuing to monitor his growth and will weigh him again in 2 weeks. The Doctor said that he is looking great and that we are doing the right things. Just keep laying down and drinking A LOT! Bill got to wheel me up to the ultrasound, I guess everyone is getting used to us. Dr. Daddy got to grab my chart and push my wheelchair. It was like we were on a date. So fun! He also showed me the delivery rooms, they look really nice! After our "date", he wheeled me by to see the sweet babies in the nursery. I guess that he has done some exploring in his time at Piedmont. He really knows his way around. Its a good thing, because I have only seen the inside of our room. We actually had our tour/birthing class scheduled for the end of January...so I haven't even gotten the tour yet-haha.

Mom has been keeping me company and brought me my favorite dinner last night-Buttermilk Chicken with mashed potatoes. YUM! We watched Carolina beat Tennessee and spent some time with my wonderful Mama W. That game was AWESOME! Today I had a visit from one of my friends from High School, Melissa Redderson. She had her little baby at 29 weeks and is a pro at the bedrest thing. She brought me play-doh and coloring books to keep me busy. :-) My two best friends from childhood came by yesterday, Trish and Lindsey and we had a great time hanging out. Lindsey brought her darling little girl, Emmie, who is 2. She is gorgeous. Emmie's little sister Anabelle is 5 months old and can't wait to meet her boyfriend, Baker. Trish has a 3 month old son named Will and he can't wait to cruise the Buckhead streets with his new buddy Baker. My friend Katie Kochman came by on Wednesday and we had a great time catching up. Kaylin swung by after work yesterday to say Hi before she and Sean left for the Highlands, NC. Bill and I were supposed to celebrate New Year's with them up in the mountains and are sorry to miss them this year. We have spent 3 New Year's in a row with them. Can't wait for next New Year's, we'll get back on track!

We wish everyone a very Happy New Year's! Cheers to a Magnificent 2011!!!

We are 28 weeks today!! Another week down, which means another week of "Baking"! Yay!
Until then...Keep Baking, Baker!!
