Quick maternity updates:
My sister-in-law Leanne is due Dec 7th with baby Holden and is 25% effaced; no progress yet from her last appointment last week--we were thinking he might be a November baby, but it looks like he has decided to stay in her belly another week. Chris and I are anxiously awaiting the birth of our new nephew!

Our good friends Melanie and Nathan surprised us with the wonderful news that they are expecting a baby GIRL next April 09! We couldn't be more thrilled for them and for Haylee to have a playmate so close in age next year!!!

I start week 35 tomorrow and our next doctors appt is Dec 3rd. Everything looks great! My measurements are right on, Haylee's heartbeat is going strong and her head is in the right position--down! Yea, no breech baby!

Hot Dot's 2008 Bridezilla Skit Party

Holly, Stef, Erin, Stacy & Me at our 3rd Annual

Hot Dot's Skit Party!

This years theme was "bridezilla" and we decided to

role play to the Dixie Chicks song White Trash Wedding.

Of course my preggers belly was used for a humorous labor & delivery scene

at the very end of our skit! The 5 of us are holding the extra long

umbilical cord, my $1 store baby, wearing our wedding tiaras and white

trash outfits! Enjoy!!!

Belly Pics! 32 weeks & counting...

Haylee is really making my belly grow!
Only 8 more weeks to go!

Halloween Night 2008

Mom & Dad To Be!
The Ladies at Sheila's House

Stacy & Ben (Electrifying)

Kris & Holly (like my jack-o-lantern shirt?)

Halloween Night was a blast, even for an 8 month pregnant lady

like myself. We celebrated Holly's birthday at Sheila's house then headed

to the Gramophone to see Ten High at their CD release party! The night

was long, loud but tons of FUN!!!

Girls Lunch!

Mom, Lyn, Laura & I had lunch one at Imogene's Tea Room in Chesterfield. We had a good time catching up and examining my ever growing belly! Thanks girls for a wonderful tea lunch!

Little JP and I had a super fun morning at Rombach's

pumpkin patch. I remember when dad used to take Katie and I

there! Unfortunately it is Rombach's last year of business....who knows why?

They had tons of kid friendly things to do and thousands of beautiful

orange pumpkins! JP and I tagged along with Melanie and her two

nephews and family too. It was a fun Sunday and I loved spending

time with little JP. He was great at the patch and was so excited to explore everything!
