Longest blog post ever part 2

Mom bought Natalie tickets to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! for her birthday. She was absolutely in love with the whole thing and even loved meeting the characters!











She even met a movie star! Haha! Remember this doofus from Men In Black?

Here he is with Natalie, just as doofus-y as ever!

And for our final photo update: Natalie was Alice in Wonderland for Halloween. Too bad is was a rainy and miserable evening, I don't think Alice traditionally wears a pink rain coat!





As for the rest of us, we're all doing pretty well. I'm still pregnant... and I'm so sick of it. I'm now officially two weeks more pregnant than I was when I delivered Natalie so this pregnancy feels like it's taking forever. It doesn't help that I felt some pains last week and went to l&d only to be told that I was in fact in early labor but it wasn't quite time yet. Both the doctor and the nurses agreed that it wouldn't be long.... eight days later I'm very frustrated. Ever since then I've had lots of contractions and discomfort, I feel like a giant ticking time bomb. To make matters worse I got a stomach bug over the weekend which poor Chase has now fallen victim of. So I guess I shouldn't be so impatient, it's really not the best time to be having a baby with a tired and recovering mommy and a sick daddy. I had a check up on Wednesday, everything was perfect. My blood pressure was 120/68, my weight was down half a pound (thank you stomach bug), Nick measured right on track and his head is way low. So all good things!

Nesting took over a few weeks ago, Nick's room is all set up, I've cleaned and done load after load of laundry. I've been walking as much as possible and bouncing on my exercise ball, Chase has been giving me foot rubs (which are supposed to start labor, I swear) and we even ate spicy food two nights in a row. Last night was a full moon and I briefly considered sleeping outside butt naked in hopes of reigning in every ounce of strength from the full moon. Clearly Nick is going to come when he's good and ready but I just wish he would have some consideration for his poor mother. Hopefully the next blog post I make will be introducing my new little man.
