More Christmas Time

During the week before Christmas, Shelley had her 20-week ultrasound. When we went in for the ultrasound, they said that everything looked great with the baby, but that Shelley had placenta previa and that they might not let her fly on the plane. This was the day before we were supposed to leave for Alabama to see the Zubrick family for Christmas and New Year’s. By the end of the day they had definitely said that air travel wouldn’t be a good idea, so we had to revamp our whole holiday plans. We briefly entertained the idea of driving 22 hours to Montgomery, but then Shelley’s folks called and said that if we couldn’t come out to them, they were going to come to us. They had booked 4 last minute plane tickets to fly out to Colorado and we picked up Shelley’s mom and dad, brother and grandma from DIA on Christmas Eve. Although the weather wasn’t terrific for their visit (snowy and very cold), we had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to see them.
