Anticipation

38 weeks

with only 10 days until my due date, we are doing a lot to get ready. cleaning and organizing and putting in the car seat, etc.... I am ready and would like the baby to cooperate and just come already! lol. I have been contracting on and off for a few days now but they are not really strong enough. I have been walking and eating spicy food and all that.... my emotions have been running high lately. I must be making up for the fact that I haven't really been very hormonal/ emotional up until this point. I am off work this whole week and then I go back friday. I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to go back, but most likely I will. I have had a stuffy nose for like 3 months but the last few days it has gotten worse and progressed to my chest. I am ready for that to be over too! anyways, sorry to be kind of a downer, hopefully my next post will be much more cheerful as we welcome the newest member to our family!


She's big on books lately

30 days

Auntie Em reading books


the cousins


on Halloween


so tired she fell asleep eating pizza!


well, only 30 days to go! It's coming up quick, believe it or not. I had another ultrasound last friday and everything looked good. weight was estimated at 6 lbs 13 oz. I started my twice a week monitoring and everything looks fine. We are trying to get organized around the house and realized Eleanor's stuff has taken over! now to try to find room for another one's stuff!

Seth started back to 3 crew so evenings this week and days the next. an adjustment for us all.

last saturday, Seth's parents had a get together to meet Ada. Seth had to work, but Eleanor and I went. It was nice to see everyone and get some snuggle time with miss Ada. I cheated and had some of Teryl's pumpkin dessert and it was totally worth it!
