Coming To The End...

Can't believe that we're in the home stretch now. Today I'm 36w2d, and many people (although not the OB) think I'm going to go early. Possibly because I'm feeling massive. Here's a picture for you to judge for yourself.

Sorry for the dirty mirror. It's really the least of my worries! We have to put together the bassinet and re-arrange our bedroom to make sure it all fits, but other than that, everything seems ready. Noodle's room is ready, the diapers are washed, the toys are out of the crawl space, and Emma is really excited. 

We had time to go to Hallowzeen in Cincinnati last weekend to visit our friend Mary and her daughter and husband, and then this weekend we went to Boo at the Zoo in Columbus, and met another friend and her daughter and triplets there! Emma fell in love with her daughter and they held hands the whole time. It was adorable.


We'll trick-or-treat at one of my nursing homes tomorrow night, as long as the weather isn't too nasty (thanks Hurricane Sandy) and might not do much for the actual Halloween. 

Between now and my EDD (11/24/12), I need to finish getting my classes ready for my substitute, catch up with grading, do a million things to wrap up my professional obligations, and pack my hospital bag. I'm grateful to Aunt Ann, who has agreed to come out and watch Emma while we're in the hospital. 

I think we're going to get to meet this little guy. As much as I've enjoyed being pregnant (although the sciatica is killing me -- not sleeping well and in PT to try and get the pain down), I'm ready to be done and just focus on being a Mom.

  1. We forgot about Boo at the Zoo. Maegwin says she loves Emma's sock monkey! She has one that sings a song when you press its hand. She loves that thing. She was Yoda this year for Halloween. I'm knitting away on the little guy's sweater so hope you can tough it out for at least another week. :) After starting and ripping out four different ones that just weren't special enough I think this is the one.

    1. She was Yoda? How awesome is that! I can't wait to see the pictures. You are so sweet to knit a sweater for Noodle, thank you so much. Can't wait to get the girls together soon.
