Are all I have for you today.

I talked to Amber yesterday. No permanent damage done from her fall. She did land on her back/butt/side when she fell. She didn't go by ambulance. She drove herself to the hospital. She's still quite achy and sore. Nevaeh is doing just fine. The Dr. said Amber is measuring for 35 weeks, not 33 (she's 33 weeks pg). Nevaeh's very active - much like her big brother was. Amber has been having contractions for awhile now, even before the fall, and her cervix is getting quite thin. I'm told it won't be much longer before little Nevaeh makes her debut.

Also, I have news on Little Harper - from my Putting in all into Perspective post. "Another bone marrow biopsy was done today. Harper has been placed in a "High Risk" AML category due to the percentage of blasts in his bone marrow. He is going to Ann Arbor tomorrow for a consultation on a bone marrow transplant. Since his sister is not a match a perfect donor will need to be found." We continue to pray for this little guy and his brave, brave fight. He's still in good spirits and will have his first birthday on 12/4. Three days before Jacob.

Planning and preparations are underway for birthday #2, here at Random Thoughts. The paper products have been purchased. The cake is ready to bake, the gifts are wrapped. I just need to get the last food stuffs, thank you notes, and a few party favors. I'm a little nervous to decorate the cake but, what's the worst that could happen? I'd have to scrape off some frosting and start over? I'm trying to convince myself.

I picked up Jacob's 2 year pictures on Monday and started my Christmas cards. The pictures are amazing. He hammed it up as usual. I'll be mailing them soon. I do find it strange though, and you will see when your card arrives. Jacob looked more like Jeremy as a baby but, he looks more and more like an Elenbaas every day. Complete with those stupid dimples! Just like Grandpa Web. I sure wish you were here to see him Dad!

I finished up some more of my Christmas shopping last night. I do have ideas for the rest - which may be the most difficult stage of the battle. Now, I'm left with just having to buy for Jeremy...the worst part. One would think that as his wife, I'd know what he wants or needs. Which I do to some extent, I just don't believe socks and underwear to be sufficient Christmas gifts. I'll figure something out, I always do.
