39 Weeks :)

I had a Dr. appointment today, which was pretty uneventful!!  Baby is a kicking, stretching, rolling, hiccuping machine and has been hard to catch a steady heart beat on :)  But we heard it and all is good so far!  I haven't gained any weight in the last few weeks, but that is no concern at this point in time.  I told the nurse I wish I had that problem when I'm NOT pregnant ... odd how I can gain weight so easily when not pregnant, but don't gain much when pregnant?!  What the heck?  Oh well, I'll have to work on that a bit harder ... one day ... lol!  I've opted out of being "checked" at my last 2 appointments.  I don't really see the point, I'm most likely going to be over due and I'll know when I'm in labour, I don't need to hear that my cervix is still long, I'm dilated 1 cm, etc, etc!  I will however get "checked" at my 40 week appointment next week, just to see if there's anything happening at all!!  Today the Dr. could still move babies head side to side a little bit, so he or she still has some room to travel down before the big day!  We have an appointment with Fiona in a 1/2 an hour.  This is our 2nd prenatal appointment with her, and we'll likely meet with her next week too if baby hasn't made an appearance!

I had fun Saturday evening at a "Ghouls Night In" Sillpada Halloween party!  I dressed as a witch!  The jewelry is gorgeous, but very expensive.  I do have a pair of earrings coming in the mail, that I plan to wear for the babies newborn/family pics!!!

We had a great time Halloween evening!  Both the kids LOVED trick or treating and the weather was gorgeous!!  I wasn't sure how Emerson would react to trick or treating or all the people and decorations, but she ran after her brother and had a blast!  Most of the time she wanted to walk and hold her own pumpkin treat bag.  She had to have her first 2 treats in her hands and also wanted to hold a stuffy she got from one house (for being so darn cute;) !  My Mom, Dad and Lindsay came in to enjoy trick or treating with us!  It was so fun to watch the kids have a blast running from house to house.  They stayed up later then usual and were totally tuckered out about 1 block from our house!  Thank goodness they have a strong Dad that carry all 68 lbs of them :)  They enjoyed some Halloween treats when we got home and then crashed!!

I worked Monday for most of the day and then came home early and Cal and I took the kids to Beaner's for hair cuts.  Glad I could check that off of my "To Do Before Baby Arrives" check list!!

Emerson came down with a stomach bug yesterday afternoon.  She was sick to her stomach 5 times in a few short hours and you could tell she just did not feel good :(  Poor girl, I felt so bad for her.  She had a pretty good sleep and woke up very hungry and thirsty!  She had a great nap this afternoon and is hopefully fine.  My Mom came in this afternoon to watch the kids while I went to my Dr. appointment and the kids went home with her for a sleepover.  They seemed excited, I just hope Em is okay.  I am SO grateful for this little break!!  After our Doula appointment, Cal and I are going for supper and then going to do some Christmas shopping.  Tomorrow I have a Sweet Momma appointment, which as usual I'm really looking forward to!!!  This is a gift from my BFF's, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU girls :)

I almost forgot to tell you about Cal's 1st deer!!  He had a successful hunting trip with my Dad and Dion on Friday!  He was pretty excited and apparently is a good shot ;)  So we will have a freezer full of teriyaki stick and cheese smokies!  Cal's in heaven :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
