Awaiting babies arrival!
On Friday, Danny had some downtime with work so as we are anxiously awaiting the birth of our baby girl, Danny did a little photo shoot. I now know why people do these things at 6 months, so they don't look like Shamu when taking them. Holy Cow what a massive stomach I have. I am glad we did this at home with just the two of us, I could not imagine showing my prego body to a stranger. He took one of just me, but the blogging world does not need to see the whole prego body of mine. I think Danny is the only proud one of that since he created it to be a 11x17, not going to be pretty in large print. Think that will stay in our bedroom for few to see.
Pic with the cute little red shoes my sisters gave us! Can't wait to find a little dress for her to wear them with.
Hard to get those arms around the belly nowadays! Scary she is going to be huge.

So it is Sunday afternoon and nothing yet, I walked the mall, did some more Christmas shopping yesterday and nothing yet! I woke up in such a bad mood yesterday, I think from lack of sleep and anxiety waiting for when this is going to happen. Last night I kinda freaked hadn't felt the baby in a while, but laid on my side for a little while and took a long shower and that helped to get her moving and relax me. I am going to go for another walk today hopefully that will help the contractions to become closer together.

Baby News!
First thing, I have some funny video that I need to post of my Pre-Natal Water Aerobics class doing a routine to Thriller for Halloween (I know you can't wait for that one) and our niece Eliza being a goofball, once I resize them for uploading you will all get the pleasure of enjoying them.
Then I just wanted to give you an update on the latest and greatest around here. I went to the doctors Thursday and had Ultrasound #5 to see how big the baby is and how I am progressing. Based on the measurements they estimate the baby to be about 8lbs 1oz. I will be 38 weeks Saturday so big baby her she comes! Thanks to the genetics on my moms side of the family there is no stopping being in the "9lb Club" direct quote from my mom.
I am dilated to a 3 now and have been having all the normal signs of beginning labor, no big contractions yet! My goal is to try and go to the mall today finish last minute Christmas shopping and walk this baby out! If I do not have this baby on my own I will be induced on Monday Nov 24 to hopefully prevent a 10lb baby from joining our family.
I would post the ultrasound pic, but they are not that clear in person so a scanned version would be even harder to see. We were told she has hair, must be from the Italian side, my family produces bald babies. So that is were we are at next time hopefully pics of your new family. Wish me luck I think I will need it.

Growing up!
Lucy getting ready to take her 2 year old pictures!
Happy Birthday to Lucy! Can't believe our niece is 2, they are getting big so quickly. She was very cute on her birthday so excited to get all her presents and eat her pig cake with mud on the side (chocolate ice cream).
Stephanie you did a great job on the cake quite creative using snowballs for the nose and ears!

Day Trip
On Saturday Danny and I decided to take a drive to get out of the house while we still can and to have a change in scenery, so we drove up to Cascade Lake. The weather wasn't the greatest that day kinda rainy and gloomy skies, but still a nice drive. I thought I would share some of the pictures taken along the drive, especially with the California family who are still experiencing summer weather and probably have yet to see a leaf change color this fall.
One of the turn offs on the side of the road, we got out to walk around and stretch a little
Cascade Lake
I thought this was great, hard to see in the picture. A real cow in the middle of the road, so the road signs really are meant to watch out for livestock crossing!
This was the cow crossing safely so we could pass
This was cool, to many trees to get a good picture. It was a train that tourists can ride on along the river into the mountains. They had cars that you could stand outside and eat. Very Fun, something to do someday.
