Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday Kelly, and a Happy New Year!

Well we've certainly been busy over the last few weeks. I spent Dec 14-21st in Sarasota, FL for Christmas training w/ the swim team and Kelly stayed at home to get as much research done as possible. He has a graduation date in sight (May 2011) and doesn't want to get delayed....and I'm on board with that :).
We spent Christmas in Atlanta this year with Kelly's families. We are so blessed to have such wonderful, supportive families. We had a fantastic time as we always do when we get together. Here are some pictures:


When we returned from Atlanta, some of our Clemson friends came to stay w/ us for the night. Kelly roomed w/ Kyle, Brandon, and William throughout much of his undergrad days so there were many fun stories to be told. I enjoyed hanging out w/ Ashley b/c she just had a new baby about a month ago so I was able to ask her lots of questions about what it's like being a new mommy.
On the 28th we headed to Asheville, NC to celebrate Kelly's 26th birthday which was on the 29th. It was wonderful to spend some quality time w/ Kelly before Riley arrives . We went out to eat, played some mini-golf and laser tag at the Fun Depot, toured the Grove Park Inn and the National Gingerbread House competition, and of course watched plenty of Bowl Games. I have the most amazing husband in the world and I feel so lucky to be his wife. Happy Birthday Kelly. I love you!

I guess that last thing is just a quick update on Baby Riley. She has continued to measure a little bit small in her abdomen so I've been visiting the doctor twice a week instead of once. I've also had lots of ultrasounds which have been kind of fun...in the sense that I get to see my little girl frequently. I had my amniotic fluid measured to make sure there was enough and I've had 2 non-stress tests all of which were fine. I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check on her progress. At one point I thought they were going to induce me early, but it seems that she is very healthy so we are just going to wait it out. Just over 2 weeks to go. Riley weighed about 5 1/2 pounds and I was 1 cm dilated at my last appointment. We will keep everyone updated!!! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
