Ready to go!

We are all packed up and ready to go--one last pizza party with Katie and Nate. My dad thought he was funny by bringing his "cow pulling" gloves with in case I went into labor on the road---him and Peyton are all "gloved up"!

Halloween

Peyton's packing help

Yes I'm going a bit backwards in my blog--but I finally found my camera cord...This was Peyton's contribution to my packing- she liked to make a bed out of the empty shelves!

Baby Update

Today I'm 39 weeks and still no baby :-( Last week we found out they think he's pretty small (possibly 5 1/2 lbs)..which would put him less than the 10th percentile when born. We'll see how big he is when he's born..so we got to have another ultrasound and until then we have to go in for non-stress tests to monitor the baby every few days. If he's not born by the 18th (he's due the 19th) they will induce me as my MD doesn't want me going over my due date since he's so small. I know it seems like they should leave him in as long as possible, but if he has interuterine growth failure he may not be getting what he needs from the placenta. So far he still looks really healthy so thats the main priority. Other than that we're getting settled at my parents house for now. I'm still looking for my camera cord to get new pictures uploaded! Hopefully it'll surface soon or I'll buy a new one.

We made it to South Dakota!

So I know I've been behind on posting and this one will be quick! I will try to get new pictures posted tomorrow. We made the trip back to South Dakota on Tuesday...it was an uneventful one (which was good b/c it means I didn't have the baby in the car:-)and we had great weather. It was a long, pretty uncomfortable trip... Peyton did great for the almost 30hr ride, slowed down by a moving truck and very pregnant mom! We have been very busy surprising family and friends (as we didn't tell anyone when we were moving back--so that has been fun). We are also busy unpacking and finding places to stash our stuff (it'll be a miracle if we remember all the places between storage, my parents and grandparents homes that we put everything!) I'm 39 weeks this week so awaiting baby! We miss everyone back in Washington, and I surprisingly miss the "city life" more than I thought I would anyways; Jason and Peyton are very much enjoying life on the farm, its taking a little more adjusting for myself, but its been fun being back, although very cold :-) Peyton will start Preschool on Tuesday so she's very excited for that. She loves doing chores and playing with her cousins and the cats! Will try to get more pics posted tomorrow, depending on unpacking progress!

37 weeks

I'm 37 weeks now! Hard to believe that in only 3 weeks we may have a baby (sooner would be fine :-). I'm still feeling good, just hard to breath and sleep. We're all getting excited and are ready to have the baby!

Girls Supper

Here's a picture of our girls night (minus one)- for about 1 1/2 yrs now myself and some of my friends have been meeting monthly for our "girls supper". It all started when Jason was deployed for 9 months and I needed some non-kid time and we haven't missed a month since which is pretty unbelievable! It has been a great time just to be able to talk uninterrupted and not worry about the kids- of course a lot of our conversations revolve around our kids but it is a great break! Its been a great to spend time with some of my closest friends and also to get to know some "newer" friends. I'm going to miss everyone when we move and hope we'll all stay in touch.

Happy Birthday to Me!
