Simmons Family Retreat / Baby Update

Sorry, I know it has been a while. We have been busy getting ready for Mary's arrival and I am way behind schedule. The good news is that the crib is back together, so she has a place to sleep. We have had a few symptoms of premature labor, but according to Dr. Moran, nothing to get excited about. We go back for another ultrasound tomorrow, so we will have a better idea of what is going on. In about 2 weeks, I will start going to the doctor twice a week. I will have an ultrasound each week and a non-stress test each week to help us determine when Mary will make her debut.

We spent the weekend at Center Hill Lake visiting with Mom's side of the family. It was great to see everyone. We haven't see most of the family since my grandfather past away in 2003. It is amazing how difficult it seems to get together when it really shouldn't be. Hayden had a blast and was attached to my niece, Abigail the entire trip. Here are a couple of pictures. Hopefully, we will have more soon.

Also, several have decided to compete in our own version of the Biggest Loser: Mom, Dad, my Uncle Kerry, my Aunt Shelia, my Uncle Richard and Jason for a $300 prize. The contest ends on October 31st and I am keeping track of the results. I will keep you posted on the standings.
