Christmas Blessings...

I truly have so much to be thankful for, not only for my wonderful husband and child, but for my family and friends.  My sister, Blake, and her boyfriend, Bobby, came into town from Dallas last week.  Blake came by last night to spend some quality time with us and Zander.  You never really know how much you miss someone until they are no longer here or close by.  I wished she lived here in Illinois, but she's doing so great with her career in Dallas. 

When she came into our house yesterday she was carrying a basket full of cards and gifts.  I actually thought she was giving Zander his Christmas presents early.  She told me this is from your high school friends. I opened up each card and was crying. 

So this post is devoted to recognizing some special families out there who have been so generous with Zoe since we've had her diagnosis.  I won't list what people have given, but I do want to recognize each family.  I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and New Years.  Again, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your extreme generosity.  Mike and I can't wait to tell Zoe all about her special heart and the love she received even before she was here some day when she's older.

A Big Thank you to:

The Conrads, The Laras, The Smiths, The Hemshrodts, The Egans, The Mannings, The Naylors (Steve), The Naylors (Tim), The Nelsons, The Gidleys, The Johnsons, The Zuberts, The Davis', Kim Tully, and Jennifer Garcia.

And I can't forget my mom and sister.  They bought me a diamond heart pendant to wear next to the "Z" pendant I have on my neck to always know I have Zoe's heart close to me.

As for Zoe and me....I'll be 32 weeks on Sunday! Yippee!!!!!!!!!  I'm still having contractions at night but nothing too alarming yet.  I have my check up with my doctor today, where he'll be checking my cervix to see if there's any sign of early dilation.  I'll also see if I'm measuring any bigger.  God, I sure hope not.
