What I'm looking forward to: I am starting to be really really ready for him to be here!  I told Ike the other day I am so ready to hold him, to which he said I have been holding and it will be his turn.  We may fight over holding him  :) 

Best moment of the week:  We went to the doctor this week.  It was a great visit, and we had another sonogram!  He had his foot in his mouth.  It was the sweetest thing!  We ended up having to have our 4D that same day.  Unfortunately Ike was in a meeting when we found out they could work us in so I went by myself.  BUT I did not look at anything until we got home.  We watched the DVD together.  The little booger would not take his foot and hand off his face, but we did get a little look at him.
