Josh visits Santa Claus and update on Pregnancy

JOSH VISITS SANTA CLAUS AT WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY
Josh wasn't a fan of sitting of Santa's lap, but he really wanted to ask Santa for a baseball bat.  Josh though it would be fine to sit on the rocking horse next to Santa.  He quietly asked for his baseball bat.  I have a hunch that Josh has been a pretty good boy this year.  Maybe next year he'll sit on Santa's lap.
JOSH SAYS THE DARNEDEST THINGS
On Monday, we had an FHE that John planned.  After the song and prayer John said, "I have a surprise for you Josh."  Josh's reply was a very enthusiastic "Santa's coming?"  Not quite yet.  The surprise was a small photo book of Josh, friends, and family.  John had a cute story with it that really helped with Josh's understanding of the new baby coming.  John did such a great job!  The next day Josh talked to me for 30 minutes about baby Nate!  He is starting to understand!  He is really going to understand here in just a few days!




UPDATE ON PREGNANCY
I went to my very last OB visit for the pregnancy this morning!  Yeah!  I have a scheduled induction on Tuesday December 23rd, unless I go into labor on my own.  We are going to bring home the best Christmas gift ever (if everything goes well) a brand new baby boy on Christmas Day!  This will definitely be an unforgettable Christmas!

Marie I have been wanting to call you so bad, but my phone is still broken so I don't have your phone number. I hope everything goes okay and I can't wait to see pictures of your sweet little baby. Call me when things have settled down.

Good luck with everything! The The pictures of Josh with Santa are very cute. Also, that was a great idea for John to make a book for Josh. We found a story at the library that really helped Grace...she kept asking me beforehand questions like, "Are you going to wear a dress to the hospital?" (the mom in the book does). She also insisted on getting me flowers after the baby was born, because the older sister in the book did the same! :o) I hope all goes well and that you can bring the baby home on Christmas Day! I can't wait to see pictures!
