As we count the minutes between contractions and work on our thank you cards Ryan and I wanted to let you all know how blessed we are by your showering of love. We are excited for Noah's arrival and can't wait to be parents again. Later today we have another doctor appointment and an ultrasound to see how much Noah weighs as there is some concern that he may be large due to the way my body is breaking down sugar. We hope to be able to share some photos with you, but if nothing else, all the details!
ONLY 27 DAYS LEFT (until our due date)!
For those of you looking for recipes from two of the salads at the shower, here they are.

1 bunch Napa cabbage, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
