Well - we are home. The kids had a wonderful time but were glad to be home. We are all on Eastern time and we all awake at 5:00 am this morning.
I will put some pictures on the photo album page.
We are already busy. Nathan and Julia are at the sitters today. I had an OB appointment this morning and have been running around getting everything ready for his birthday party tomorrow. Tonight I will go to choir practice and so I am getting a sitter for Nathan and Julia. Luke is out of town until late Friday night.
My OB appointment was fine. Everything is as it should be. I can now feel the baby moving around. I have an ultrasound in two weeks - HOWEVER - Luke and I are in that minority who enjoy NOT knowing the baby's gender - so we will not be finding out if it is a boy or a girl until he or she is born.
I have no word on when Nathan's bone marrows are yet. I hope to know for sure in the next few days.
I can't believe Nathan will be FIVE tomorrow. On the airplane home I had Julia in the bathroom and the stewardess talked to Nathan and found out his birthday was coming up. When the plane was landing the pilot announced to everyone that his birthday was on Thursday and everyone clapped for him. He was very pleased. I couldn't help thinking to myself what a miracle it is that he is turning five and what an accomplishment it is for him to have gotten through all he has and he deserved the applause! I am grateful beyond words that he is turning five tomorrow and doing so in good health. On his third birthday he had chemo. On his fourth birthday he had antibodies. On his fifth birthday he will be having a party with his friends - bouncing and running around. What a blessing!
Thanks everyone for all your birthday greetings. I will be showing and reading them all to Nathan.
