Baby buzz and prayers for friends!

So I thought I'd update you on baby progress...I had my last appointment this past Monday and the doctor said I was 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced...of course this doesn't really mean too much, I know, because you can walk around for a month like that (which I very well may do!), but at least it's progress in the right direction, right??? I weighed in at 151lbs (what the heck, just throwin' the pride out the window!), and although I was officially at 35 weeks and 6 days, my fundal height measurement was at 37 weeks - again, moving right along! Wahoo!  My next appt is this Wednesday so we shall see what's goin' on! I just got back from a baby shower for Kristen and Baby Thurman, and it was fun to catch up with the high school gals again. Sara and Adam stayed here last night (which was great, too, because Nicholas was on call!) and Kathy and Stephen are staying tonight since they're in town for a wedding - yay! Nicholas and I are headed out to my Christmas party for work here in a little while, so it's a busy weekend around here!

Also, our sweet friends, the Yoes, left for a medical mission trip to Uganda yesterday. They'll be there for 10 days and wow, what a blessing they are going to be to so many children and families!  So if you get a chance, lift them up as they serve so many needy hearts and bodies!

...and the 4 of us in NYC back in the summer:

Oh, and totally unrelated, I mean to post these pics of my SIL, Jennifer, and I from a little over a month ago! ..but I just saw them and it reminded me! This was on Halloween, so I was about 30.5 wks and Jennifer was 25.5 wks - a little backtracking...but CUTE! :)

Me and Baby Mills, Jennifer and Baby Gray!!! :)

Have a great weekend!
