On Thursday, Aunt Ashley had the day off and came over to play--what a treat! I was also getting an early delivery present of getting the house cleaned by a cleaning service! So we decided to decorate a gingerbread house before the cleaners came. This is kind of sad, but I think this might have been my first time decorating a gingerbread house. It was Nick's first time and of course all he wanted to do was eat all of the candy. My rule of only eating one piece of each kind of candy and then decorating with the rest, did not get followed very well as he kept popping them in his mouth. But in the end, he did a great job of decorating it and it came out pretty good for a two year old. He was quite upset at the end when he realized that he wasn't going to get to eat the entire thing. After we finished, the cleaners arrived and did a wonderful job of cleaning the house. It was so wonderful to have someone else come in and do all the deep cleaning--especially being this pregnant and not able to bend and work like that these days! I said goodbye to the cleaners and went to the bathroom and heard a loud crash. I went running into the kitchen to find the gingerbread house shattered on my freshly cleaned kitchen floor. Sprinkles, icing, and candy were everywhere and Baxter was frantically trying to eat what he could before I got to him. Thankfully Nicholas was asleep and did not witness the tragedy! I really think that we gave Bax the wrong name as we definitely live with Marley. How am I going to survive with him and a newborn and a 2 1/2 year old?
On Saturday we headed down to Peachtree City for Trip's 4th birthday party at Chick-fil-a. It was such a great party and Nicholas had so much fun. Chick-fil-a is his favorite place and of course he had so much fun being with his cousins and Aunt and Uncle and Grandad and Kaki. I just can't believe that Trip is 4 already. The time has really flown by. He is such a sweet, loving boy and I can't wait to see all of the great things he will do in the next few years.
As for me, I've been having lots of contractions and keep thinking that any day could be the day that Nolan decides to arrive. But at the same time, because I'm anticipating it so much, I'm sure he'll wait and have to be induced. I'll be going to the doctor tomorrow and can't wait to hear if I've progressed at all. We've basically gotten things in order and feel ready for his arrival. Of course making plans for Christmas celebrations with the family is a bit challenging not knowing if Nolan will be joining us before or after Christmas. But that's ok, we've all just had to take up a "go with the flow attitude" these days.
