November in Pictures

November has literally flown by. I can't believe we are already coming upon Thanksgiving in 3 days. We have been busy as usual. We've had some really nice days so have enjoyed taking the girls to parks and for walks, in mid-nov. a quick less than 24 hour trip to my parents and to meet our new niece and then a bridal shower. It has felt quite hectic.

Baby update..... I am always measuring big 2-3 weeks so I had an ultrasound done last week and he is indeed very big. His head is measuring 3 weeks big and his body 3 weeks. Joel's family has something they call the "Francis Head," it is a very large head. So far, I have escaped with my girls but it doesn't look like that will be the case with this big boy. If I go to my due date they are estimating an 11 lb baby. I meet with my dr. this week and we will discuss further what to expect. He realistically doesn't want me to get that big so we are looking like an end of Dec. delivery. I on the otherhand, really don't want to be induced and want to go on my own so I am praying he comes 2 weeks early on his own. I have also been dealing with a racing heart lately. It gets as high as 115 beats a minute. We don't exactly know why so I had to wear a holter monitor last week and they are hoping to rule out other issues and just call it pregnancy and big baby ect... I am praying for the latter also. I am so glad God is in control of everything. Sometimes that is my only comfort that whatever happens in this life is in God's hands.



My cousin Veronica at her Bridal shower. She was my cousin I was really close to growing up and I don't even get to go to her wedding (sniff...) She is getting married in Chicago Dec. 12th and with me being so close to my due date we decided I better not go.

We saw my nephew Tucker for a few minutes when we were visiting my parents on our quick trip. Isn't he a doll. I love the cheeks!
