November 14th was our last appointment. He didn't do anything special but weigh me and measure my belly. Everything is big. He did give me iron because it is low.
Other than that, we are doing well.
Next appointment Dec. 12th: blood work and glucose test. Exciting stuff...
We visited Alabama for Thanksgiving. It had been a year since we were in Mobile last. The whole family had a lot to be thankful for, since last Thanksgiving we didn't think Dad would be here with us this Thanksgiving.
Wednesday, we boarded the dogs and waited to talk to the doctor before we could leave. Brent looked for us an alternate route on the internet since I-10 was closed betwen Lafayette and Baton Rouge. By the way 190 was a nightmare. Small towns and no food. That did not make for good traveling. We made it to Alabama late but safely.
Thursday, the whole family came to my Mom and Dad's. There was lots of eating and playing among the kids. It was great to see everyone and to be able to sit, relax, and visit.
Friday, we did go shopping but not early by any means. We just hit Babies-R-Us and a couple of other places. I have finally decided on the bedding and wanted everyone to see it. After that we visited Terry, Michelle, and Bo. Bo is so adorable. It was our first time to see him. Cullen was very good with him. He helped me give him a bottle and wiped his mouth. Then we spent a nice relaxing night eating steak and letting the family enjoy playing with Cullen.
Saturday, we headed out. We left Saturday because of traffic and me. I needed to get things ready for the next few weeks of work and school. Trip wasn't to bad coming home. We stopped off to visit Nana before heading on in. It was very late when we finally made it home.
It was a great Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for.
Well, baby is growing and so is Mommy.
We haven't decided on a name, yet. We do know what one of her names will be just not the other nor which order they will be. Actually, we have added another to the thought process. Cullen has two he likes and keeps flip flopping back and forth.
I pre-registered today for our hospital stay. They like for you to do things early around here. We will be touring the facility in December, and we are going to take Cullen for a sibling class at the hospital. We aren't doing the whole childbirth classes again. After 36 hours last time, it is still real fresh on my mind of what to do.
Cullen is ready for the baby to come. So, he thinks he is. He is very amazed at how large my belly is. I get things like: "Mom, your as big as a whale." or "Mom, that belly is like a pig." He is very good at analogies.
We asked him last night where the baby would sleep. Anywhere but his room, his playroom, and his T.V. room. Notice "his". We are going to have to work on the word "our".
We have another appointment Nov. 14th. I'm not sure if they will do anything special other than weigh me...
Our neighbors JoJo and Mr. Bill.
This is our "Spiderman" performing his web throwing and stunts.
He had a lot of fun Trick or Treating around the new neighborhood. He was ready to come home when his bucket was to heavy for him to carry, and after the whole "Just one more house" thing didn't work anymore. Can't blame a guy for trying...
