a certain small someone was VERY excited to have his auntie sarah come and stay overnight (and babysit)! she came over yesterday afternoon, spent the night and stayed with cole while i ran to new london for my 36-week appointment (more like 36 1/2 weeks, but who's counting, haha!). anyway, cole couldn't have been happier to spend some time with someone besides mommy!
we made cut-out cookies, and since he can now reach things on the countertop, that's where cole goes to find "fun" things to play with. i thought i was going to die laughing when he disappeared into the kitchen and came running back out wearing one of my oven mitts!! it looks SO funny- he knows exactly how to wear it, but it reaches up to his shoulder...
playing on the floor with auntie sarah!!
kelvin got an rc car... he decided that since he sacrified the snowmobile that maybe he could get into a slightly less expensive hobby. i told him that was up to him, whatever he wanted! so he went on ebay and found a nice red cat rc... it came yesterday! of course, he spent most of the afternoon and evening with it. i'm told it can reach speeds of 60 mph, and it'll be hilarious when my dear husband gets a speeding ticket... and he's not even in the car.
cole wasn't sure about the car, but he thought the box was the bomb. mr independent even managed to lift it up off the floor... it's not a small box, either!!
random photo- had no idea it was on here till i uploaded photos from the camera chip. yes, my dear sister with a mike-and-ike up her nose. don't ask. so- our dr appointment was pretty uneventful today. no change, but i was reminded that things CAN change quickly, so no long-distance travelling! hmmm- mom and dad aren't really long distance, now, are they? that's where we're headed tomorrow for the day... but i digress. weight gain was pretty minimal (yes!!) and baby girl's heartbeat held steady at 145 bpm. the last 24 hours or so, she's been less active. she squirms enough that i know she's ok, but i'm guessing she's getting a bit cramped and impatient. you and me both, baby!! dr lamb also said that a lot of times, how early or late you are with a first pregnancy determines how early or late you'll be with subsequent ones. knowing full well that that's not the case 100% of the time, i'm still hoping we meet this tiny little person within the next week. dr h is back from vacation this weekend (i was told that if i go into labor saturday, he'll be here), and i'm scheduled for my next appointment on monday the 29th at 12.55- we'll see if i make it! i've made it further this time than with cole- at this exact day of pregnancy with him, he was born! wow- seems so unreal.

HA! ** happy holidays to everyone- to all our family and friends, we love you!! **

Merry Christmas to you all as well. I hope you have a great time at your mom and dads tomorrow. And I hope that little princess decides to show up soon, I'm anxious to meet her. I'm waiting on your and a friend of ours who (I think) will goes days if not hours apart so we will see. The more active this little wee one is the more I think it's a boy. B/c MAN do I get nailed pretty good some days. Part of me thinks it still a girl and the other part thinks it's a boy. We will see. Sleep is starting to become a bit of a challenge, but I'm sure you know ALL ABOUT THAT! You guys have a safe trip tomorrow and hopefully we can get together soon! Hugs to you all!
