We still have four weeks until Jillian's due date, but we are feeling more ready than ever! We spent all day Saturday at a birth prep class; Zach completed his big run, and also won't be traveling to any more out-of-state destinations for the next two months; and, I have things pretty well set at work so that I can leave any time. So, let's get this show on the road :) Of course it will be better if Jillian waits awhile longer, but things are in place for her arrival and we are just so excited to meet her!
We did get a feel for what the weather could be like when Jillian arrives...the first snow of the year came earlier this week. I only worked a half day this last week because of snow days paired with the standard Thanksgiving vacation. The weather changed our Thanksgiving plans too, and instead of driving out to the ocean in the snow, we had a cozy dinner here at our house with Zach's parents. The snow is melted now, but we know if it returns, we will need to be ready for potentially crazy roads and a slippery trip to the hospital.
The pics below are from Zach's Half Marathon. This was the second 13.1 mile race he's completed in the last 16 days, which made him eligible for "Half-Fanatic" status. He will get a shirt and a special membership to this elite club :) I saw him along the route, and since I didn't have paper to make a support sign, I wrote on my belly. Daddy Z did so great, and it was so fun to be a part of his accomplishment even though I couldn't run. Next year, Jillian can watch us both from the sidelines as we run together :)
