Well...we are still patiently(ok, so not so patiently) awaiting the arrival of our little boy. I had my 36 week appointment on October 14th and was told I was 4 cm. dilated and 80% effaced. The doctor said that the baby could come anytime! 1 week and 1 day later....I had my 37 week appointment and was still dilated to 4 (maybe 4 1/2) and was slightly more effaced at 90%. Doctor had me go up to the birthing center to get hooked up to monitors for a non-stress test to make sure I was not having any contractions and to monitor the babe's heart rate, which at my appointment was at a very high 187. 40 minutes later I hadn't had any contractions and the heartbeat had stabilized to a normal level, and we were sent on our merry way home! So needless to say we are still waiting to welcome our little one, but I am actually feeling really good which I guess is a good thing! My next appointment with the doctor is October 28th, so pray that I go before then or I at least have some progress! So, I guess we keep waiting! We will keep the blog updated when he finally makes his arrival!

Meeting big sister Addison for the first time:
First family photo (Addison just got back from trick-or-treating with her very helpful Aunt Sara)
"Mommy, I hold it"
sitting in a PILE of Rice Krispies....Rice Krispies that started off in the pantry in the kitchen, the same kitchen I was standing in. So tell me how a two year old opened the pantry door, pulled out the rice krispies and dumped them all over the floor without Mommy hearing??? MAGIC :)
She sure seemed to enjoy it, and instead of telling her she was naughty the first thing I had to do was grab the camara! It was so cute, yet so naughty!
Needless to say, at least she got into something that was easy to sweep up with the vaccum! Oh, the day in the life of a TWO year old! I can't imagine what we are in store for with two of them in the house! (which hopefully be any day now, already dilated to 4!)
Enjoying some birthday cake with Dad, evidently he thought it would be best if he fed it to her this year since we weren't a room away from the bath tub!
However, we still managed to have the "cake face" going on!
It was so cute, all the kids were up and playing except for the birthday girl who decided to sit back down at a table and eat the other kids food that they had left behind!
Here we are before opening presents, it took awhile to do! There were so many great things!
It was fun to see her open all of her gifts by "herself" this year! It was amazing to me that even only being two she knew how to throw the clothes at mom and keep the toys to play with!
This was one of her favorite gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Thayer. It is a swing, highchair, stroller, car seat and diaper bag for her babies to use! Her absolute favorite toy of the day was a baby doll that cries and sleeps and talks! Its face even moves while it is being fed! Lets just say she is a mommy in training! Which is great because I am going to need her help in 6 weeks or so!
