November Wrap Up

Where has November gone? I'm certain that a few days ago it was the start of the month, and yet here we are at the last weekend before December! I've been preoccupied most of the month preparing the house (& my work) for the arrival of baby. TJ's been averaging about 76 hours a week at work...a very tired husband I have! Our friends have been so wonderful in helping me with some projects while he's at work.

We had three furry visitors to our yard at the beginning of the month. TJ said it is a doe and two adolescent fawns.

We've had some rainy days now that fall is here...this was a day I thought it looked like what I imagine Ireland might be...very green!

Lisa & Donna threw me a baby shower earlier this month! It was very lovely.

A good belly shot from 35 weeks.

The cat found the swing seat I'd set aside. She was happily curled up here for hours!

We had friends over for Thanksgiving. Everyone brought a bit of something and we had a feast!

TJ had two whole days off for Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with friends. On his second day off we got our Christmas tree and decorated the house for Christmas, went to IHOP for brunch and saw A Christmas Carole in 3D! We are pretty much ready now for baby to arrive. I plan to finish the baby's room today and do some pre-baby paperwork, and then relax. I have several boxes of projects waiting for me and plan to work on these until baby arrives. I'm 37 weeks now and baby is considered full term. The head has dropped and I am on weekly visits with the midwife. It's hard to believe we'll soon have another member to our family!
