Things here have been busy. Ada is having the time of her life with all the fun things going on. We attend playgroup every week-sometimes twice a week and also like to go to story time at the local library. We used to walk to the park just down the street when the weather was better but have to keep inside for the most part these days. She loves it when daddy comes home to wrestle with her and chase her around the house. They are so cute together and I love that Andy comes home ready and willing to spend time with her. She LOVES it. They build forts where she gets lunch or stories read or just be under the blankets together. When I am not so huge I plan on joining the party. :) We have had a few friends of hers over which makes life much funner at our place and helps free up another mothers time to get some things done with out their little one under their feet. There are so many nice kids and moms around, we are so lucky.
I posted some pictures of Ada and her friend Emma, Ada in her hippo chair she got from grandma and grandpa (she LOVES it-she kisses it and everything), eating chicken off the bone, playing in the park, her favorite pass time of stacking anything that will stack-mostly PB, helping out with the sweeping, her finding and having SO much fun with a roll of toilet paper first thing in the morning, big smiles with daddy, Halloween as an elephant and Thanksgiving with some friends. We have been sooo blessed to be here at this time.
We are just 12 days away from welcoming Atticus to our home and can not wait! Ada pats my tummy and sticks hers out to be like mine. She Loves to look at babies and will adjust just fine to having someone else in the family. At least we hope she will adjust well.
I have been nesting hard core lately and can''t wait to get the little one here. We have our house all rearranged just the way I want it with the pack n play all set up next to my bed. My mom's plane ticket is bought for next Sunday and will be here for a week to help out. Ada will love all the extra attention from her grandma and it will give me enough time to get back on my feet after the c-section.
I have been super uncomfortable this last month and can't wait to get this baby out. Sleep is hard to come by and my hips are killing me, but the worst is just not fitting into any clothes! Nothing fits anymore and I hate feeling this huge. Andy is great and tells me I am beautiful every day. :) He loves me. :)
I got a new wire put on my braces and it has been killing me all day. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to get braces on in your last bits of pregnancy was insane...and yes it was me. The only thing that helps with the pain is the one pain killer I can't have while pregnant. So mainly its going without food, and powering through the pain. Yuck. I do have to say that my teeth are looking quite straight and I love seeing the huge differences day to day.
We had a great Thanksgiving here in our home with some friends and can't wait to start our own little Christmas traditions this year. Happy Holidays!!
