32 Weeks!!

Are you kidding me?!? That's right...we have made it to 32 weeks! We are completely thrilled to have made it this far!! The boys and Greg just left...they came to visit one last time before I am (hopefully) sprung from this joint tomorrow. Greg said he could stomach McDonalds "one last time" and only because he knew that he wouldn't be eating it after today for a long while! While downstairs, we ran into the Midwife who was working that fateful day 11 weeks ago. She was so happy to see that I was still pregnant, but she couldn't help laughing about how in denial I was. When she told me I needed to come to the hospital, my response was, "I can't go to the hospital, I have 2 kids", pointing at Landon and Tanner. And she answered, "If you want 3 kids, you need to go across the street...now". Pretty crazy to run into her today of all days!
When we came up to the room, we packed up all of the boys' toys and play doh (I'm sure Ms. Ophelia in housekeeping won't be sad to see that go!) DVDs and books to go home. I'm not taking down my pictures of the boys, sparkly lights or calendars until after my scan in the am...just in case. Landon actually said, "I'm gonna snuggle one more time in Mommy's hospital bed...this last day". Can you believe it?? The nurses were so sad to see the boys go because they knew they wouldn't see them again until I am back to deliver...they have made many friends during my stay here! We have been absolutely spoiled by everyone here...we feel like we have about 40 new family members! God has truly blessed P3 and our whole family...not just with amazing doctors, supportive and encouraging nurses and techs, but with each of you that has said a prayer on our behalf. We are so deeply grateful to you and hope you have an inkling about just how important you have been during this time! Thank you could never come close to covering it...but please know how humbly thankful we are to all of you and of course our loving, all powerful Father, that hand picked our doctors and caretakers and grew and protected our little P3. We continue to pray for protection for these next few weeks until he/she joins us, and for a safe delivery and healthy baby. And we pray for each of you, that you would know how instrumental you have been in this story! We so love and appreciate you!!

Here's to a great scan in the morning and some happy goodbyes...thank you again!

Love, Kristen, Greg, Landon, Tanner and P3
