Just around the corner!!

It's been awhile since I last updated...so here it goes.



I am 39 weeks 5 days. I have been dialated to 2 cm and 75% effaced for 2 weeks. Doing all I can to aide Seth in getting here as quick as possible! The pressure, pains and hard time getting up has taken its toll. This last week they did an ultrasound and estimated his weight at 7lbs 7ounces. Hopefully he won't get much bigger. If he isn't here by Monday (his due date and my next doc appointment) then they will schedule induction date for a week later...which is MY BIRTHDAY! My mom said if he is born on my birthday she has to go buy a lottery ticket because what are the odds of having both of her daughters have their first child, boys, on their birthdays (Corryne had Tristan on her 21st birthday!). We shall see!



I went on maternity leave on November 3rd and became Jakob (my nephew's) day care provider till Seth is born. It has been great! Yes tiring but I LOVE that little guy so it is worth it to spend some time with him like I did Tristan when Tristan was a baby. Jakob is such a happy baby so it is easy to take care of him. He loves to smile and laugh and it just makes my day that much brighter! :)



Greg graduated from Culinary Arts School early this month. We are sooo very proud of him! Oh yes and my dad is doing good, PRAISE THE LORD! We are all sooo thankful he is still here with us.

This Thanksgiving was very nice and laid back. We had our first "Turkey Dinner" at 1pm with Brett's family. Then at 4pm we had our second with my family. Let's just say we were TOTALLY stuffed by the end of the day! My sister and I decided to hit the "Black Friday" sales. Yes I was up at 3am, out shopping at 4am. There was a few items I wanted but mostly I went to get LOTS of walking in. We shopped from 4am to about 12pm, with a breakfast break with our dad. Then I took like a 3 hour nap and went to Kohls and dinner with Brett around 5pm. We came home and decided to then decorate the inside of our home. I couldn't believe the energy spurt, but if gave me hope that JUST maybe Seth is coming, like within the next day or so, or maybe he is just giving me false hope.

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with your families.
