One month to go!

I can't believe that we only have one month until we meet our little girl!!  She has dropped recently, so the pressure I have been feeling on my lower back has been better.  I think she's moved off my nerve.  Her room is ready, clothes are washed.  All we need to do is decide on her name.   That is proving to be more difficult than I thought!  The boys are super excited.  Ethan even says that he's going to help change her diapers and get her dressed.  We shall see!! 

We had JD's conference today.  I am a proud mom!  His teacher had nothing but good things to say about him.  She said he is very fair and helpful.  She also said that he is ready for all day kdg and is a great kid.  I tend to agree, but I'm kind biased!   We signed Ethan up for preschool this week.  This year is a bundle of changes for our family!  New baby girl, JD going to kdg in the fall, and Ethan starting preschool in the fall...so much fun going on around here! :)

3D Ultrasound Pics!

We had so much fun visiting Baby Envision on Friday night! My parents got us a 2D/3D/4D Ultrasound package for Christmas. It was great!! We got to see our sweet little girl before she is born, which was so cool!! Who do you think she looks like? :)

Breakfast with Santa

We had a great time at Breakfast with Santa this morning!  We went to the same place as last year, the VFW Hall in Brighton.  They do such a nice job.  There was a delicious breakfast buffet, relaxed pictures with Santa, a little craft area for the kids, and we got to leave with a photo.  The boys were a little crabby at first, but they warmed up and had a nice time.  I will post pics as soon as I get them scanned. :)

"Take it easy and rest"

That is a phrase I do not do very well with, but that's what I was told yesterday.  The baby has been pushing down a ton this week on my pelvis, and on top of a little spotting and cramping, I'm home today resting.  It may sound silly, but I'm not really sure what to do besides sit around.  It's weird.  I want to pick things up, clean the kitchen, run errands...but I'm not!  I'm just sitting here with my feet propped up blogging and Christams shopping online!  So, here's to a day of complete rest! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow!  We're going to John's parents, and are in charge of bringing cranberry relish and sweet potatoes.  We'll also bring the pies, but I cheated and got those at Costco!  I'm using two new recipes this year for cranberry relish and sweet potatoes.  I made the cranberry relish this morning and can't keep John and JD out of it, so it must be pretty tasty!  We're going to work on the sweet potatoes in the morning, but the recipe sounds delicious!!  John insisted something other than the traditional marshmellow sweet potato casserolle, so hope this is just as good! :)

We enjoyed a lovely church service this evening.  I love going to church in the evening.  There's something about the darkness and candles that is super special.  JD and I then took a quick trip to Meijers for a few last minute items, then a drive thru McDonalds for cookies and an egg nog shake!  I'm sure craving cold milk with this baby...and the egg nog shake did the trick!

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, complete with everything good!! xoxo
