Christmas Cards & life at 38 weeks pregnant.

The kids & I are sorta bored of being pregnant & waiting for baby to come so we've been trying to keep busy by making handmade Christmas cards for you all. --Stay tuned.
I get all excited every time I go to the doctor & they seem to think the baby will be born "very soon". Last week I was 1.5 cm dilated (TMI) & I went home thinking I would deliver that night. Maybe they are not used to people having more than 1 or 2 kids. I think your body gets ready way sooner after having a few kids. Anyway, I feel like unpacking my hospital bag just in case my baby will never come out & the PJ's I packed will get moldy.
Mac & I have been watching TV series every night to pass time. We're watching DEXTER about a serial killer. No wonder I only have contractions at night & they go away in the morning. Too much excitement.
Anyway, sorry to bore you with my boredom. Tomorrow I will sleep-in till the crack of noon.

Fun with friends (Birthday Party for Carole & Shane)

Carole's Birthday

Carole celebrated her birthday with some class mates. Needless to say it was very loud & hectic but she had a lot of fun. Carole & sisters made marble cake the day before & we did what we did last year; set out a lot of different toppings & colored whipped creams for everyone to put on their piece of cake as they like it. I'm glad Mac was there to help with games & to try & control the mayhem.

As you can see she also got a lot of presents from her friends.

After the kids went home Carole & Daddy made a nice birthday dinner for all of us. Then we all sat down & enjoyed Caroles Birthday present Wii game set (Sports).

Getting ready for the big day

Well my hospital bag is slowly being packed. This time I will not be doing all the packing once labor has begun.

I have 4 weeks 'till due date but hoping it wil be a little earlier for my sanity & aching back's sake.

I have found a hospital to have the baby at, my last singing job was on Sunday, my passport application is in & now all I have to do is wait ever so (not) patiently.

School Visitation Day

Today I visited the kids school & got to see some of their classes. Kiki does well in gym class & here is a pic of Carole in art class. She is making a cake out of paper & beads & little nick-knacks.(sp)

Halloween party at friends house

The last month of freedom (if U can say elephants are free)

I wish I knew how to enjoy my last month of partial freedom before I will be swamped with diapers, nursing & sleepless nights. But as always I am anxious to know if the little one is healthy, cute & really definitely a girl. (4 predictions from 2 doctors)
I went to a nice hospital where I thought I would have the baby. Every one was so nice & the equipment really advanced. (I actually saw the baby's face & her eyes were closed & mouth open trying to suck her fingers. --It was so cute.)
Anyway after a few hours of waiting & finally having a check up & doing paperwork I half understood & deciding to go there, I find out that it's really expensive to have a baby there. :( I really thought it was a normal hospital but I guess not.
So now I'm trying to find a different one.
Anyway, all the stress keeps me busy so I don't have time to be bored these past few days.
