Today we had to put our beloved cat, Archie down.  Archie has been with our family for 16 good years.  In the last few weeks he started going downhill and after a visit at the vet today we realized that he was in a lot of pain and it was time.  We will miss him greatly.  Ryleigh was wondering when we might get to visit him in heaven.  She was a pretty good trooper today and did a pretty good job of dealing with death for the first time.  Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, and advice over the last week as we made this decision.  

I had my latest doctor's appointment on Wednesday, New Year's Eve.  Everything is looking good- good enough that my doctor doesn't want to see me back until the end of January.  After that appointment we will then go to going every week until the new little one is here.  We meet with the doctor at the hospital on the 16th of January to schedule the c-section.  We are still hoping for somewhere around the 19th or 20th.  The baby is still sitting across instead of up and down- which makes my rib cage a wonderful resting place for those little feet.
