Pregnancy update.

I realized I haven't done hardly any pregnancy updates! Iv been feeling pretty well just tired and have less patience.

This is a picture of the inside of my leg behind my knee. This is after a warm bath and fairly relaxing day they look worse on cleaning/laundry days or when I've been doing lots of walking like grocery shopping. Ill have to remember to get a better picture. Gotta love varicose veins... not!!

This is a belly shot taken a few days ago at 32+5

I took this last night any guess what side he is on?
This little boy loves to move constantly and get the hick ups atleast a few times a day.
As far as how Im measuring  I've been measuring a week behind since my first appointment but my doc has opted to keep my original due date. As a precaution Im having an ultrasound at my next appointment to measure fluid and double check that this baby is no longer breach. Depending on how the ultra sound goes my next appointment will either be the 23 or the 30 im praying there is enough fluid that I don't have to go to the docs the week of Christmas. And that I wont have 2 appointments a week to monitor fluid levels. Im quite a bit larger then I was with the girls at this point and ive been drinking non stop so hopefully we will get some good news.

Festival of trees.

After my prenatal check up we decided since we were half way there we should go to the festival of trees. we got there at about 1030 and it wasn't busy at all it was nice to not be fighting the crowds.

There was only a few people in the Santa line so we decided to see what the girls would do. Erilyn was nervous but sat on his lap and told him she wanted a bike for Christmas.

Enslie was terrified!! and clung to daddy like no tomorrow.

This is as good as it gets that was the closest she would get to Santa.

After Santa we walked around looked at trees we didn't have the stroller but since it wasn't busy it was fine we both just watched one kid. ( what are we gonna do with 3?!) This monsters inc one was a favorite.

After a while Enslie would go to random trees stand by them and yell for me to take a picture.

There was a food tree I didn't get any pics of it but Enslie kept just going back to it and crying when we moved her we decided maybe she was hungry so we got some food at concessions and she was fine just hungry. After eating we walked around a little bit longer then realized it was nap time and Enslie was getting aunry so we went home it was fun to see the girls react to all the cool trees.

Giggles the Elf returns.

Giggle our elf returned on December 1st she brought our books to open and read each night.

One night she got thirsty.

One day she brought a special present from the north pole for the girls.

A ginger bread house! The cool thing about it was it was already built and ready to decorate!!

Surprisingly they didn't eat that much candy and had fun decorating our house.

One night she decided that our stale candy corns weren't cutting it any more and filled it up with m&ms

Then got suck in the machine she left the stale candy corns and quarters from the machine our for us. She hasn't been getting into to much trouble this year she must be as worn out as I am. :-)

The good dinosuar.

Uncle Landis really wanted to go see the good dinosaur and take us with him we didn't tell the girls we were going till we were on our way to pick up Landis. Erilyn was excited Enslie didn't understand

Erilyn was excited to have popcorn all to herself.

and the movie was REALLY CUTE! The kids loved spending some quality time with uncle Landis.

Decorating for christmas.

It was always tradition to decorate the day after thanksgiving at our house but when your husband works 14 that day and doesn't sleep much the night before you wait till his next day off which was sat this year.

The girls were excited to see what was in the boxes.



Erilyn was super excited about the star and hurriedly decorated the rest of the tree so she could put the star on top. 

We found these magnets in our Christmas stuff neither of could remember where they come from but the kids were excited to do them.

Thanksgiving.

We had a good thanksgiving this year with lots of yummy food and family.

One thing Gran always made was sweet potatoe casserole my mom wanted to skip it this year because " no one ever eats it" I said well then ill eat the left overs we Have to have it. She said to make a 9x9 I said na I want lots of left overs. As you can see in the picture I had to try them.... a few times to make sure they were good....which they were I had no left overs to take home!! They didn't taste like grans but they sure were yummy!!

My baby girl wearing the same out fit Erilyn did for her second thanksgiving.

The food and fancy plates.

This turkey  made of crackers, cheese, and pepperoni was so cute!!

Enjoying some first bites.

This is the picture I got of Erilyn that day she felt left out since Enslie was getting her pic taken.

The lists.

The sat before thanksgiving the girls write their lists and put them in their shoes on the porch. One of Santa's helpers or even Santa him self comes and picks them up and leaves a treat in the shoes for the girls. This year Erilyn insisted we needed to leave him a snack so he got popcorn and v8.

Santa was so impressed with Erilyn that he left an extra gift for both of them. And a letter that said giggle would return on Dec 1.

They each got a little book and pen to draw in.

Some one was pretty excited!
