Thanksgiving Week Review

Happy belated Thanksgiving! We had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday here at home. We don't travel at Thanksgiving since we normally do at Christmas, but this year we will be staying home for Christmas too because of the baby. We didn't make any Turkey crafts at home this year but the kids made some at school. Yesterday we watched the parade on TV, watched a couple of movies, played a game, made some Christmas ornaments for our tree, and had a very good turkey dinner made by my husband!

This past week, Lucas had his annual school Holiday program - a bit early but it was very cute! They did a school version of 'A Christmas Carol' with a grumpy teacher and sang a bunch of songs. It is always fun for me to go and watch them. I had my parent meeting w/ Ryan's play therapist and he is making soo much progress and doing so well! We are going to be taking a break from now until Jan. since things will be very busy here soon. On Monday I also have a meeting w/ Ryan's speech therapist to go over his IEP for the year. I have one more appointment with my Dr. on Monday as well, and then my c-section is scheduled for Thursday! I'm getting really excited, nervous, and scared. I have a list of things that I need to get done before I go to the hospital! It's comming up really quick!

36 weeks and feeling it!

Well, I've made it to 36 weeks with my fourth and last baby... and I am exhausted all the time. I was feeling really good up until about last Friday. Now I am in pain anytime I have to walk around for more than about 10min. or do anything other than sit or lay down. My back hurts, my hips hurt, my belly hurts. It all hurts. Thank goodness I only have a little over 3 weeks to go before my c-section. I'm getting nervous about that, even though I know what to expect.
I finally got out all of the baby clothes, baby toys, infant carseat, and other baby gear but now I need to wash everything. As of this weekend we might have a boy's name, but I'm still not sure about a girls name. So I'm kind of ready but not really!

We survived Halloween!



Normally, I really like Halloween... but I'm hormonal and the kids were wild and I'm exhausted. We went to a couple of Halloween parties on Friday night, but skipped the Haunted Houses. Yesterday, my husband took the kids Trick-or-Treating and then we painted my belly like a pumpkin and watched The Wizard of Oz. The kids got way to much candy and the only one who will actually eat it besides me is the 2yr. old. Then they woke up literally yelling and running around at 6am this morning.
