This post is going to be a little recap of our month and probably my last post of this year.
Since my last post we have been busy with holiday activities and visitors and even a hospital stay for yours truly...
My last post was on the 9th, so I will start this one on the weekend of the 12th..
That weekend was my mom and dad's anniversary. The girls were sick, but I still kept them together at our house and we did arts and crafts and homemade gifts and took some pictures and it all turned out okay until Jordan and I started to get sick. By the end of the weekend I had decided I better get checked out in case I had strep throat or something similar that would require an antibiotic. My strep test came back negative, but the doctor I saw still prescribed a zpack and promethazine. I took my first doses and had a good night's sleep just in time for Jordan's family to arrive in town on the 16th. They came by and picked us up and we headed to Smithfield for what was supposed to be a night of shopping and food. I had a doctor's appointment that afternoon and it went really well, and things were going ok that night too. We went to bed and I woke up at 3:30 am feeling like I was being stabbed in the back through my chest. I fought the pain for two hours before finally going in to the hospital. After being on the monitors in L&D and discovering that the baby was fine, I was sent to ER. There I was diagnosed with gallstones. The next day I followed up with my doctor and it was decided I would be induced or have a cesarean a week early to deliver Riley so that I could recover and my body could go back to normal and I will be having surgery to remove my gallbladder 3-6 weeks after Riley is born. At that appointment it was also discovered that I was dehydrated, so I was admitted and did 24 hours in the hospital. Not fun.
After all that drama we had our family dinner with the Underwoods at Parker's on the 19th. I didn't eat since I'm on a bland diet now and I was fresh out of the hospital, but it was still nice to see everyone.
The next week flew by with Christmas preparations and cleaning up. Riley's furniture was also finally ready to be picked up and we worked on the nursery which is turning out great! My mom and I spent all day Christmas Eve shopping and baking and wrapping and it was all a success. We had a great Christmas.
Now I am addressing baby shower invites. The shower is the second weekend in January and before we know it after that our baby will be here. <3

Pictures, Programs, and Parades!
Since my last post we have been on the go! With Christmas fast approaching, this family has no time to slow down. Savannah has had two more chorus performances, we went to the Goldsboro Christmas Parade, and I finally got maternity photos done!
There has also been some very sad news for our family. Our family dog, Girl, passed away on December 1st. She was outside and wandered off and, while we were looking for her to help her find her way home, she was hit by a car. The impact itself didn't kill her, and we were able to get her home, but her injuries along with all of her other health issues were too much for her and she spent her last minutes with her head in my mom's lap and finally took her last breath with me sitting beside her. Girl was a 9 year old Boxer and had been a member of our family for the past 2-3 years. We loved her very much and will miss her terribly, but I know that she was very sick and very tired and now she isn't anymore.
In happy news, we got to see our baby girl again! I had a growth ultrasound at my last doctor's appointment. According to the scan, our girl is measuring 9 days ahead of schedule and already weighs around 4.2 pounds. She hasn't turned yet to prepare for birth, but she has a few more weeks, so I'm not too worried. If she hasn't turned by my 35 week visit, I will be nervous. I am really hoping to avoid a c-section.
In celebrity news, Josh and Anna Duggar have recently announced they are expecting #4! Also Kyle and Samantha Busch shared that their little bundle is a boy! I just think it's fun to keep up with these celebrity pregnancies. :)
We had a great time this weekend. Friday we went shopping and to lunch with my grandma, and Saturday we did the maternity photos and the Christmas parade. It was fun to see my friends, Beth and Majesty, in the parade. They both were so excited to see me there watching and smiled so big! It's awesome to me that, even though they have seen big cities and been on national TV, they are excited to see their hometown friends.
Yesterday was a good day too. I went to my mommy class and shared Chic-fil-A with friends, and Jordan took some career tests at the college, and then we went to the PTO program at Savannah's school.
It's hard to believe that Christmas is only a little over two weeks away. Time is really flying by...
Oh! And I almost forgot to share that we had a nice Thanksgiving at my grandparents'! We watched the Macy's parade and the dog show and enjoyed a nice meal, and then mom and I spent all night shopping with her friend, Kim. It seems like that was FOREVER ago...
Anyway, until I get another minute....
