Strange Discoveries, Christmas Part 1, and Baby... Not in that order

Yes, we are still the definition of "Busy Bees." I'm still going to the doctor twice a week and things seem to be going okay. Monday we had an ultra sound to find out just how big this baby is... the estimate is somewhere around 8 lb 3 oz to 8 lb 6 oz (with a 1/2 pound margin of error). As of last Thursday, we scheduled our induction for Monday, December 27. Tomorrow afternoon, we meet with the OB again for a weekly NST and to discuss the plan for Monday. We will find out if the report from the Ultrasound at the hospital changes anything. I am definitely ready for the baby to get here! I have been terribly uncomfortable for a while and haven't slept well in at least a couple of weeks.
This past Saturday, we celebrated Christmas with Dave's family before they head up to Wisconsin to enjoy a winter wonderland through the new year. (Baby's January 3 due date nixed our plans to go along). We all got lots of really neat things and Emma has loved playing with her new toys. For a 2 year old, spreading Christmas out by a week, may be a really good idea. She may not be as overwhelmed by all of the gifts on Christmas day since she has gotten to enjoy so much this week.
Last night, I made a very strange discovery when I did my final Emma tuck in before going to bed myself. For one thing, she had every stuffed animal in her room in bed with her and the majority hadn't been there when I put her to bed. As I was straighting things up and fixing the covers, I found her Scooby Doo Christmas Ornament (a Christmas gift from Grandma and PawPaw) tucked in with her. The little stinker had slipped downstairs to the Living Room after I put her to bed and took Scooby off the tree then went back upstairs and crawled in bed again with us (in the family room) knowing about it!
