Vacation in Georgia with a Bum Ankle

We've been pretty busy the last few weeks, which is why we haven't posted anything for a while. We've spent the last several days at Tybee Island in Georgia with my (Allison's) family and we've had some great R&R! It's always fun to be with family and a vacation at the beach is a great last hurrah before we have a baby to add to the family dynamic. We've been able to have a few fun days in Savannah exploring the city and a few days at the beach. It is certainly hotter and more humid than we are used to in Colorado, but it sounds like this week is just as brutal there!

Unfortunately Gary has had a little more R&R than he intended since he sprained his foot pretty badly the day before we left for vacation. He's in a walking boot, and we've been able to get him down to the beach and around town some, but he's taken it easier than normal this week. The doctor at the urgent care said it would be an 8-12 week recovery so he's trying to rest, elevate, compress and ice as much as possible so he's almost back to normal by my due date!

I'm at 30 weeks now, which means we're only 10 weeks away (maybe less?!) from having a baby! It's getting more real, exciting and terrifying every day! My parents graciously gave us a crib and mattress for the baby's room so we're feeling a little more ready to bring this little man home.

There is still no definitely plan as to where and when I'll deliver. We have another fetal echo with the pediatric cardiologist in the Springs on Monday, so we're hoping that the doctors will be able to come to a conclusion of what would be best after that appointment. Please keep us in your prayers on Monday that things would continue to be looking good and that we'll be confident in whatever the docs decide.

We are so grateful for all of the family and friends (and family of friends and friends of family) who have shown their support so far and given us encouragement through kind words, thoughts and prayers. In a time of such uncertainty, we are certain that God will be faithful through everything and that we will not be in this alone. Thanks for your love and support!
