Halloween Tricks Again

So this year I was the lucky one who got to be sick on Halloween! On top of being almost 39 weeks pregnant, I am blessed with head cold. Poor Matt has had to deal with one unhappy pregnant woman these past few days (and has done a wonderful job of it!).

Matilda (or mermaid princess Ariel) throughly enjoyed Halloween. Once again she enjoyed handing out candy more than actually trick or treating. She would tell the kids who came to our door "trick or treat" and "Happy Halloween." (I think she's a little confused about who gets to say trick or treat).

Practice Makes Perfect

Last Friday we had what should be our last ultrasound to make sure baby is not breech. Thank goodness baby is head down & we do not need to worry about that. The real cool part of the ultrasound was watching baby take practice breathes! We could actually see baby's lung cavity expand & contract. I'm really starting to hope that it is a sign that baby's ready to greet the world, because I am getting more uncomfortable & tired by the minute (not that having a newborn is going to help at all with the tiredness).

Matilda is doing well. We finally got most of her big girl room together over the weekend. She got to pick out her sheets for her big girl bed, so of course they are covered with princesses. However, Tilda has yet to sleep in her big girl bed, seems the sheets have already lost their novelty!

Disclaimer

Although we may occasionally refer to Matilda as our little princess and allow her to play with her princesses & watch princess movies, we DO NOT condone sleeping with a crown on, which is how we found Matilda the other night when we went to check on her.

Bellly Stiches

That's right, last week at 34 weeks pregnant I needed to get 3 stitches in my belly! I went to the dermatologist who wanted to remove 3 moles, and of course one was right on my belly (I affectionately referred to it as my Mickey Mouse mole because that's what it looked like). I guess we should have taken the pic last week rather than this week, because my sensitive skin seems to be reacting to both the stitches and the band-aids. Hopefully the stitches won't be in for much longer.
