Almost Thanksgiving

Well the past few weeks have been extremely busy. We just finished the group paper for our semester project-now I just have my individual project to complete (still have a ton to do, but at least I'm getting closer to the end).

I went to the doctor yesterday and so far everything is looking good. The only thing is the baby is still measuring big. I am almost 29 weeks and he is measuring 35 weeks! The doctor just thinks he is a big baby and she is not too concerned. I go back in three weeks and I will have another ultrasound to check everything out.

So since everyone tells me I "look like I'm about to deliver any day," I guess that they are really not too far off in terms of how big I am getting. But the doc said just because he is big enough doesn't mean he is OLD enough to deliver. They still need lots of time to develop their lungs, etc. Because they scheduled my appointment so late yesterday they did not have time to administer the glucose test. I had to go back this morning and drink that nasty drink (but honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be) and then get blood taken an hour later. The drink didn't make me feel sick or bad or anything, so I guess that's a good sign. I worked on my project on my laptop while I waited so I really didn't mind the test too much.

Here are some pics that I took at 27 weeks. I am sure I am even bigger now than in that picture. We are going to take some maternity/holiday pictures soon, and probably send them out with Christmas cards. I am excited!

I am very much looking forward to the holidays and a little bit of a break! It will be great to visit with family, eat turkey, and catch up with an old friend!

My favorite pic (hi little baby!!!):

Halloween

Halloween was simple but fun this year. Some of us dressed up at work and that was a good time. I didn't really make too much of a costume, but one of my coworkers let me borrow her vampire makeup which really made the look! I think we look pretty scary.

I can't believe how huge I look in that last picture! That is me at 26 weeks. I feel like I am getting bigger expontentially! Hard to believe I still have three months of growing to do!

Friday night James and I swung by the "Trunk or Treat" at church and got to see all the cute little kiddo costumes. I'm amazed at how creative so many of them were!

On actual Halloween we got candy and waited for trick or treaters to come by while we were working on our projects/homework. We did not even get one trick or treater! Oh well, maybe next year.
