Lots of words...

Charlotte loves her blanket! 

She is snuggling it on her chin...

Yesterday morning we sat and visited withe Ehlingers till 11:00am when we went to pick up a check in Moore. On the way back Erich took us to lunch at Los Arcis--a first timer for me! Pretty junky interior but the food was actually good and Charlotte loved when the Christmas lights. It was a really fun thing to do to pass time. (And remember, one of the last times for a while that I will be able to stay out of the restroom the whole meal : ) (because of a nursing baby)

In the afternoon we cleaned out the freezer-/Erich did the cleaning! And then cut roses and mowed and when Erich started work on our fence I went to take a nap! Charlotte nursed and gave me contractions but wouldn't fall asleep, do she got banished outdoors with the fence builders and I really got to rest--maybe that's why I have been rolling over and over so early this morning! I mean hey, I don't have Christ's birthday celebration to look forward to!

We had an awfully fun evening meal sitting on the couch with the candelabra lit--seasoned nuts, crackers, cheese, summer sausage, sweet Gherkins,cream cheese and jalapeño cranberry dip, hot dogs and pound cake--oh and sparkling apple cider... It was all delicious and cherry to be cozied up with Erich.

We started reading aloud "the Red House Mystery" last night, and had just finished enjoying it this evening when I went to get my phone for the night... And found an extremely long text from Robin saying if baby is born in the next 2-3 days we will have to go to the birth center! Not at all appealing to me. The other midwives are all too busy with last minute cases or sick with the flu so robin is holding down the fort at the birth center and can't leave. If this baby decides to come, another unassisted birth sounds fine to me--I really don't want to leave my comfort zone. : ) Oh well, the way this baby is so eager to get out ( : ) it won't be a problem at all!

My tooth is becoming swollen again...Not fun.

Not sure what projects are planned today, maybe deep clean the big book shelf downstairs. Definitely need to plan lunch and dinner, maybe even get together a shopping list for the next few weeks as we wait for baby still... (Deep sarcasm)

Oh and goals for the new year because we probably will be attending the year end business meeting tomorrow morning! 

Today is my due date so I guess a bump photo is on the schedule too! 

That's all for now!
