update

Whew! What a busy couple of weeks I've had. I've purchased a home for Jayson and I, enjoyed a wonderful baby shower, and helped give a baby shower the following weekend for my step-sister. What more can I do at 34 weeks pregnant? hmmm... maybe run a marathon?? no, I'll leave that up to my sister and brother in law to do!

We had a great time last week with all the family in town. We celebrated Thanksgiving a bit early this year since my sister and her family were in town for the week. My sister, David, and myself had to figure out how to cook a turkey while my parents worked the whole day. Where was Jayson when we needed his help? The turkey did come out great! Thank goodness! Everyones left and the house is quite again. It's always hard to say goodbye, especially when you don't know when you'll be seeing them again.
Here is a picture of Isaac and Jocelyn...



As for our little Gwen... she's doing great! I had my first ATU appt. yesterday. Now don't ask me what that stands for, but they measure my fluid, look at the placenta, and monitor her heart rate as well as mine for about 45 min. I do this every week until she arrives. Apparently, she's taking after her daddy... she has a large head! Not good! She's still in the breeched position, which I don't mind. I like to think she would rather be close to my heart. We are still scheduled for a c-section Dec. 23rd.

Jayson's doing well in Korea. He's getting pretty anxious to come home. I think we all are. He said they have about 4-6 inches of snow on the ground. Very different from Southern California's 80-90 degree weather we are having right now. I miss the changing of the seasons. This will be our first Thanksgiving away from one another. He will be enjoying a Thanksgiving feast with the other Pantons. I guess they also do something special at the orphanage that they all go to once a week. I can't wait to hear the stories.

That's about it for now! I hope everyone is doing great and looking forward to the upcoming holidays. I still need to start my Christmas shopping. I know... this is not like me not to have my shopping done already!
