Little bit of lately

So far we are 24 weeks pregnant with our little girl, Riley Kate! We are all so excited to meet her. We went last week to UAB for a detailed ultrasound b/c they can only find 2 vessels in her umbilical cord (there should be 3). She still only has 2, but everything is fine. They will recheck her growth at 32 weeks at my doctor. In my mind I've had a few goals to meet. I've wanted to make it to Thanksgiving weekend and not have any major complications, and next I want to make it until Christmas and not have any. So, one goal down, one to go. So far RK is growing very well, last week she weighed 1.5 lbs, which is just a little more that some babies. They said she's definitely getting some great nourishment. I will try to also remember to upload the ultrasound picture of her with her foot basically in her mouth. As of right now we've made steady progress with the nursery. Still, to me, lots to be done, but it's pretty much all set up. We have a crib, changing table, chenille glider with matching ottoman, exersaucer, a huge bag of baby clothes, burp clothes handmade by my mom, bedding with a curtain, headbands, 3 hairbows, 2 pairs of shoes, and about 5 boxes of diapers. This is a good start, but must move along and get things completely done soon. I think I'll know what I will be doing when I'm off of work during Christmas break!
About now Caden is 5 1/2. He'll be 6 right after she is born. He constantly is asking questions that most 5 year olds ask a million times a day. Yesterday he said bread was made out of fluffiness, and then said I'm not kidding, it really is. Where he comes up with this stuff, I haven't a clue., but he keeps us laughing that is for sure. He enjoys school, but it does wear him out. He has really enjoyed this week off and is hoping that everyday that he wakes up now it will be Christmas Day! We finally got our tree put up this weekend. We are going to get a few more ornaments b/c ours seem to dwindle down every year and also get something for the yard this week to finish up our decorating.
