Pumpkin

Aiden had a fun week at school. Wednesday he got to paint his pumpkin, which he was SOOO proud of. It's a "SPIDERMAN pumpkin" according to him. lol Thank goodness he explained it because I was thinking more Smurf.

Thursday we were busy baking cooking for his Fall Festival on Friday. Let's just say I'm not a baker. I always either burn or over bake the 1st batch of cookies. I was excited to use my candy corn cookie cutter. Yes I even colored the sugar dough (fancy huh!) I rolled out the dough and Aiden placed the cookie cutter down. Team effort! Since I knew the 1st batch would fail I told Aiden and Wes they could have one from it. Place Aiden in his seat, give him a cookie and then I hear "Ouch! Hard" as he proceeds to bang it on the tray (and the cookie doesn't break!) hahaha Just a little overcooked! But they turned out cute...

Also on Thursday I had my 2nd to last doc visit with my high risk OBGYN. YAH! He gave the final word. Brody is arriving Nov 12th no need to take him any earlier....good news but that's a long way away! lol I'm scheduled to go in at 7:30am...much better than the 6:30am time with Aiden.

My fluid level decreased 1cm. He was weighing 8lb 14oz...right on track to weigh the same as Aiden (9lb 10oz). Now knowing all that you can assume I'm uncomfortable. Very! My SPD occurs daily and pretty consistent. Wes is really having to do alot now with Aiden and I'm so thankful Aiden is becoming a daddy's boy! It used to only hurt when I was moving a lot, now I can be just sitting and I get painful stings down there. Contractions are nothing compared to SPD because they come and go. SPD is constant and you use your pelvic region for SOO many things!! I used to be able to take baths to relieve the pressure....doesn't work any more. Literally I've been taking 3 baths every night and barely feel any relief.

This week has also brought on the sleeping on the couch full-time too. If I lay flat the pressure gets so bad and I can barely breath, so I just avoid it all. So there I am sitting upright with literally 4 pillows behind me and 2 under my feet every night. So you see why Nov 12th is so far away?!?! lol Just thankful on those really bad days I have the ability to work from home. Love my job!

Friday when me and Aiden woke up it was pouring outside and since I slept HORRIBLE I decided there was no way I could make the drive in without looking like death. Man am I glad I did because when I went out to my car at 5pm to go pick him up.....crank nothing. crank nothing! NOOOO my car wouldn't start!! So Daddy was to the rescue and picked up the little man. Thankfully my battery just needed to be replaced. One thing I will say about my car is I def don't have a lemon. Knock on wood I've only had two issues on it battery and a broken sunroof in 2 years considering I just broke 60K miles on it. (Did I mention I drive at least 60 miles a day?!) So glad it keeps me and my munchkins safe. Love my Fusion!
--------------------------------------
Last night I slept bad again (imagine that right?!) because of an active little fella! But I still woke up early. Man have I been productive too!! Did a deep cleaning on my oven, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher all while sitting down. haha Then me and Aiden met up with Gabby and Grande and all the kids (Lily and Harlee Aiden's nieces spent the night) at Chickfila to get some grub and let the kids blow off some steam. It's FREEZING outside so forget playing outside. (I definitely need to find some mittens and a hat for Aiden now) Then after playtime Aiden headed to their house for brownies and I went to Lowes. Needed to get some mulch and some mums. Wouldn't you know it all the yellow ones were gone. Ugh!

After I exchanged the potted flowers, I swept the sidewalk and knocked down all the spiderwebs. (yuck!) Then I picked up a few pine cones from the yard and grabbed some spray paint to add a little fun in the pots. Lastly I painted our big pumpkins. We were going to carve them last night but with the dead battery event it was too dark, late, and cold to do that. Love the way my door looks!! (Still need to hang my wreath) A happy fall look!

 

Aiden just left us again because Gabby and Grande are taking him to Zoo Boo. So thankful, because I'm in no condition to do all that walking. He will have a blast and looks precious! My little lion! We had a mini photo shoot in the yard chasing Murph before they got here.
