Today was one of the scariest days of my life.  This morning your Daddy had his thyroid removed, because it was having to work too hard to produce the hormones it produces.  The surgery went perfectly and he is resting well, but it was scary knowing he was in there.

BaBa, Aunt Ashley and I are spending the day here at the hospital.  Right now Daddy is pretty medicated and resting comfortably.  I just hope the comfort level stays pretty high even as the medication wears off.  He gets to go home tomorrow, and then we both have the rest of the week off for him to recover. 

One of the ver first things he did when he wok up was reach for me and tap you in my belly.

We had your 22 week appointment yesterday.  It is always so much fun to hear your heartbeat.  yesterday it was 156 and very strong.  Grandma is in town, so she was able to come along and hear it too. 

She is here because your cousin, Camden, was born on Friday.  You and he will be very close in age which should be a lot of fun.

Grandpa gets in tomorrow night.  Right now they live in Texas, but they hope to move this direction sometime in the next few years.

My work travel has slowed way down compared to the last few weeks, but we'll be going to Canada in December and possibly North Carolina.  Then we get to go to Kansas City for Christmas and have your first baby shower. 

Your aunts Tara & Erin, great-aunt Shery and Nanie are throwing it for you -- just the first of many, many celebrations in your honor.  You'll soon learn that your mommy loves birthdays and holidays.  I just love to celebrate the blessings in our lives.
