Baby Update

Well, I just thought I would give a quick baby update. I went to the dr last Thursday, the 20th. I was 2 cm dilated and the dr offered to induce Tuesday. I really wanted to try and make it past Thanksgiving so I turned that offer down. I know a lot of people are against inducing but I'm all about it! I'm still hanging in there and go back to the dr Monday afternoon so hopefully if I don't have her before then, we'll schedule it one day next week! I think I'm pretty much ready. Can't wait to see her and hold her. We know her first name is going to be Evan but we're not sure about a middle name. Wish us luck!

Halloween, birthdays, and more

We had a great but busy Halloween weekend! Thursday Oct 30th was my niece Kaitlyn's 1st b'day. Her party was Saturday and my parent's house. All the grand kids were there and Elizabeth requested that they wear their Halloween costumes. They had a good time playing together. My dad (well, Chandler ended up driving) took them on a hayride at a park down the street.

My dad leading the kids in Old MacDonald had a farm....He's such a nut!

Chandler and Hudson getting ready to drive us around.

Happy Birthday, Kaitlyn! She loved that cake and didn't hesitate at all to dig in!

All the cute grand kids in their Halloween costumes.

On Halloween night, my fam and my parents went to Caroline's neighborhood to trick-or-treat. She cooked some yummy potato soup...still need the recipe by the way...and Chris took us around the neighborhood on the hayride. Some other neighborhood kids joined in. The kids had a good time. Richard said Chandler was too old to go and ask for candy but he dressed up and went along for the ride.

John Evan as a UPS driver. He did everything he could to keep me from taking his picture!

Hudson (hippie) and Sydney (black cat). Yes, she posed like that on her own!

Hudson the hippie. He's been this before but he couldn't decide what he wanted to be and literally picked this about 30 min before we left.

Chandler was Slash (guitarist from Guns N Roses) How cool is that? He came up with this on his own. (Please excuse the garbage in the background!)

We had a great weekend celebrating! Also, this same weekend, 2 girls from work through me a baby shower. I didn't feel like I needed one but they wanted to do it and it was great. I got lots of girly stuff! My favorite gifts were an Alabama stroller, cheerleading outfit, and black and white gigham diaper bag. Thanks so much Jennifer and Janice and everyone that came! She'll be here in 4 weeks or less and we still don't know what her name is going to be!

Sydney's 5th b'day was Nov. 6th. She had a party this past Saturday at the Quad. She had a "tailgating" party. The kids had fun getting tattoos, decorating megaphones, and learning some cheers from cheerleaders. Everything was decorated really cute! Happy Birthday, Sydney!
