Thanksgiving went well. We did everything here. Sean's dad and his girlfriend came over. We had so much food. Although, it did not take much time to do the actual cooking. I am very surprise the food all got done round the right time and we got to eat it at the same time. Rather than little here and 20 minuets later another little something. My hubby did a great job. We are definitely going to write down the times recipes and everything together to do it again. We ended up with turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, fruit salad, fresh cranberries, green beans, bread, and 2 pies. Wow! It was good!
On the baby front, we are ready and waiting. not much more to do. I think I am still very upset that the doc stopping my labor last week. Because even though, I was full term it was still too early. My body was ready and so was I. Well, my birthday is this week. And I really wanted to have her before I was 36. I had told my hubby that after 36 I was not going to have anymore babies. I was done. Well, when we stopped God had another idea. SO now she will come after I am 36. Just because... best laid plans of mice and men...
We went to the Lewis Genter Light thingy yesterday. Mr. A had art work on display, so we got in free. We go every year. It is so nice to walk around and watch the kids run in the mazes and looking in awe at the lights. It was neat too to watch Mr. A tell us all about the plants he learned about on a field trip there at the end of the year last year. I will post pictures later. They did not come out to well. I will have to wait to see what I can fix and what Sean can do with them. to make them look good.
I will let you know when the little miss makes her entrance. Until then, keeping sending me those vibes that my water had broken and maybe it will.

Baby AL Is No Longer A Baby
WOW! Was it really 2 years ago that Baby AL was born. I can no longer call him a baby. He is potty training. And is trying not to wear anything but underwear. He is showing his independent side a little too often. He is getting to be such a big boy!
He enjoyed Halloween. Although, he can not eat any of the candy he got. I should have sent it with my nephew. He came with us and it was so much fun. My son wanted to walk with Aunt Ashley and her son wanted to walk with me! At one point my nephew want to hold hands with Baby AL. So they just walked around with each other. It was so cute!
The big kids were great! They agreed ahead of time that they would walk with the family and not with friends so we did not have to worry about any of that. Turned out to be a good thing. The 5th grade parents in the neighborhood let the kids go together as a group without parents. I was not comfortable doing that. I just do not trust the decision process for a 9/10 year old. Not with all the crazy people around on Halloween. We dodge the bullet this year, we will have to deal with it again next. Ms. G was Wednesday Adams and Mr. A was Werewolf. Everyone made a comment to them when they got to the door for trick-or-treating. Mr. A even scared this poor old lady. She jumped so high I saw felt sorry for her.
Baby AL turned 2 yesterday. So now he needs to be my Little AL. Which is a good thing with the baby coming. I still can not believe he is so big. He loves everything he got. Some Thomas the Train stuff, Dinosaurs, Monster Cookie ( what he calls him), and a tricycle. He has been playing nonstop with all of them. He put the dinos in the trike and blew the horn yelling "all aboard! Dinosaur Train! Hoo! Hoo!" He then rode around the family room blowing the horn. I would have pictures to post but NONE turned out clear. They are all blurry. The flash broke on the camera and now we can not take pictures. We need to get that fixed!
The Big kids are away at winter camp for TKD. I am a little worried. They have never been away from a parent for the weekend. They go down to the nuts for the weekend but they are with him. They camp but are with Sean or myself for scouts. So this is either going to be great for them or absolutely miserable. We will see.
We are just waiting for baby L to arrive. She is due in early December. But I am considered full term now so it really could be any day now. We are mostly ready. My hubby still has to wash the baby seat down. It was sitting in the garage for a year so I want him to actually wash it before we put her in it.
I am a little worried about the labor and delivery. I know I have done this many times before. BUT.... I am a wimp. I did it without any pain meds for the others, now I feel I have to do it with this one. What if she takes forever like Little AL? I do not know if I could handle that. I know in the end it will all turn out right. I am just a worry wort.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I will let you know when Baby L make her debut.
