I heart you FALL!!! You complete me!

*Sigh* I was waiting for some sort of inspiration to post a new blog..it's been awhile for me. Well I got it yesterday...the weather. Yes people..the weather! I absolutely love Fall. It's my favorite time of the year and while I know that it's going to get warmer before it continues to stay cool..it was nice to have the first "official" day of fall feel like Fall weather. I love when the leaves turn all sorts of beautiful colors and when the air is crisp. When you have to wear jeans and at least a light jacket. When my house is decorated with all my Halloween stuff...(my favorite) and when all the candles smell like Pumpkin spice or something baking in the oven. When flip flops are no longer acceptable because of the cold outside...and you have to wear boots!! When it starts to smell like someone is burning a fire in their fireplace because they are a little too eager for winter to arrive. (we are so guilty of this) I just love you Fall and everything about you. I wish that we had you longer here in Texas. I tried explaining seasons to Ella last night...that was a tough one. Especially since it seems like every other year Halloween is cold or hot. Never consistent. Ever.

Speaking of Halloween, this will be the first year I won't have the kiddos to go trick or treating with. Now please..don't feel bad for me. As much as you all know how much I love love love Halloween and getting them all dressed up and trick or treating through our neighborhood, do not cry a tear for me. I mean like I love Halloween so much I had it written in the divorce decree as a celebrated Holiday...to be sure I had them at least every other Halloween. Up until this point, I have been fortunate to have them every year but Lindsey has them this year and I am excited for them. I know they will have a blast. And I am looking forward to handing out candy and maybe painting my big belly. The most important thing is that I get to keep my big belly at home this year. And rest...aahhhhhhhh!!!

Well it's been so long since I have blogged..I have come and gone to two different OB appointments. Neither very eventful but both good. The one before last Jacob and I both got flu shots...that was fun. But suprisingly not painful at all. I went to my last appointment on Monday and I was in and out in like 25 minutes. 25 minutes people!!! That is like record time at my doctors office. On top of that, Ella was with me..and we came prepared. Her bag full of goodies to keep her occupied and I know this will shock those of you that know her, I mean really know her, but she was an angel. Anyways...I measured good, blood pressure was good. I asked if I would have another ultrasound and she said possibly. She said she saves those to be sure the baby is facing head down and something else..it escapses me. But I asked if I was having a CSection why it mattered which way the baby was facing and she said it didn't but that it was a good excuse to get another ultra sound. (wink wink) So yeah...maybe we will get another one. Do you know...do you know that I will be having this baby in the next 47 days!! I can't believe it! Of course Jacob says that feels like an enternity. He is constantly staring at my belly or rubbing my belly saying.."I want you to come out now"....I try to tell him that the baby is still baking and that 47 days is really not that long in the big picture but I don't think he hears me!!

So we got the baby's room primed..first coat finished. Definitely is going to need a second coat. That was a dark color they had up in that room. I saw a really pretty blue in a baby's room on a news station I was watching. I loved the color blue..for a girl or a boys room. Loved it. I'm going for different this time. Especially if it's a girl. No pink thank you very much. I already have Ella..she is pink enough for us all.

Well I feel like I have updated you all on the past month or so. That or I'm getting really sleepy and if I don't get in the shower soon I may fall asleep right here at this desk. I wanted to share some of my faves for this last month: My kids faces when the remote moves when I put it on my belly. Going over to Allison's and talking all night. (sorry we stayed so late but it was fun) Going up to OTB to hang with my sister. (wanted her to know how much i love her and glad I could be there for her) My weekend with Jacob just "looking" at baby stuff...and registering with him! Anytime I get to see my mom!! My nights hanging out with Crystal. When I got the baby invitation in the mail. (love it Alli - you are so awesome) Going to the park with Ella. When my sister found out that the little ol' lady accepted the offer on the house. (can't wait until they get to move in) When Jackson's teacher emailed me about how awesome he is doing. (I could not be more proud) When Jackson lost his tooth!! (I love looking at him talking now..it's hysterical and adorable.) When I got my card in the mail from Crystal. (totally unexpected - snail mail is the best) The first day of FALL!! (can't top that)

LOVE!!!
