It's been a while since I've posted anything and that's because Nicholas and I have been sick with various things since the end of October and I therefore haven't had time to update the blog. Also, my computer broke as well so that put a kink in things as I'm now sharing Graham's computer. Poor Nicholas has missed so much school at the end of October and all of November due to either tummy issues, the croup, or a cold. I am hoping that we are getting through all of this yuckiness before Nolan comes. As for me, I've got this cough that I can't seem to get rid of. I'll probably walk around with it until I deliver--just can't seem to kick it. Thankfully Graham has manage to avoid the germs so far and I hope that continues! With the pregnancy, I've been pretty uncomfortable these days. I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions most days for a couple weeks now. On Monday (a week ago) when I went to the doctor and told my midwife about my pain and contractions, she discovered that I was already dialated to 1 cm. She said that Nolan is also head down and very low, in position to come! She ran some tests and determined that thankfully I was not in preterm labor. But she did put me on some medication to relax my cervix and I'm supposed to be resting as much as I can. I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore and not feel all of these aches and pains all the time. I also can't wait to hold Nolan in my arms, see his precious face, and get to know this gift from God. But at the same time, I'm still so nervous about my world being turned upside down by adding a newborn to our family. And of course I want him to be healthy and fully developed. So I am just praying for God's perfect timing for Nolan's arrival and that he will prepare our hearts and our home for him as well!
We had a pretty fun weekend to share about. On Saturday, Nicholas and I met Mimi and Aunt Ashley at a Holiday Festival at Dunwoody UMC. This is our 3rd year of going to the festival and we always enjoy ourselves. Nicholas has gotten his pictures taken with Santa the past two Christmases and I was looking forward to that again. Unfortunately, Nicholas was not and he became hysterically afraid of Santa and would not go near him. So we probably won't get pictures with Santa this year--so sad! But he did enjoy the pony ride, the moon bounce, the playground, and of course all of the holiday music and decorations.
On Sunday, my family all met up down in Peachtree City at Aunt Sue and Uncle Dick's house for a Thanksgiving dinner! It was so wonderful having everyone together--Ashley, Jay, Mom, Dad, Matt, Mark, and even Papa! Nicholas had the best time playing with toys and just having everyone's attention. The food was delicious too! Thanksgiving is my favorite so I was so excited that we get to have 2 Thanksgiving dinners!
