Before I forget....

It's been a while since I've posted some pictures and to be honest, I don't have an excuse....except laziness.

I did want to share something sweet that happened today though. I have reached the 37 week mark, so we are going to Dr. R weekly now. I say we, because I'm carting Addison along, which can be quite a challenge since Dr. R (although I love him) is not known for punctuality.

Well today we're sitting in the small exam room waiting at 12:05 (my appt. was at 11). Addison had exhausted all use of goldfish, books, and cell phone. She was actually laying on the exam table with her head on her pillow with my standing beside her.

I'm getting to the cute part...

Well, without any prompting, she reaches for my shirt and lifts it up to expose the belly. She patted it to say hi and reached down to kiss it. I said, "Are you saying hi to Baby Graham?" She smiled and put her arms close to her chest like she does when she's showing how much she loves something and then patted my tummy again. It was too precious....especially for 19 months and me really thinking she had no idea what was going on.

Addison is also quite obsessed with remotes and TVs lately. She will say show repeatedly and loves watching TV with daddy.

The Great Debate...

UPDATE

Thank you so much for all of your comments. After praying about it, I really felt a strong peace about getting the shot, which I ended up getting on Thursday. I would like to get Addison vaccinated as well, but this shot is hard to find! If anyone hears/knows of where I can get a pediatric dose, please let me know. Since it takes a couple of weeks to take effect and Graham will be here in just about that time, the sooner, the better!

***************************************************

Ok, so normally I wouldn't post something like this, but desperate times call for desperate measures....

I am 36 weeks pregnant. My Dr. looked at me like I was crazy today for not having gotten the H1N1 vaccine yet. He has only a few doses left and told me I need to decide in the next day or so whether or not to get it.

I thought I had my mind made up not to get it, but now I'm all up in arms again. In order to best protect Graham when he gets here, he says not only do I need to be vaccinated, but everyone that would be around him....so that means Addison too.

He does have the Thermasol free ones available, so that makes me feel a little bit better. Aughhh! I just don't know what to do....so please, share your thoughts.

The Nursery!!

Well, with 3 weeks to go....yes, THREE!!! Graham's room is finally done. I'm really happy with how it's turned out. It's simple and CALMING, and let's face it....I'm going to need calming.

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has flown. We're excited to meet our little guy, but I'm a little more nervous this time....I thought it was supposed to be the other way around!

This is what you see when you enter the room....I had the curtains made from ones I had in Addison's nursery mixed with an extra panel from the curtains in our bedroom.

The bed and letters.....Andy didn't realize how we were spelling it until he was hanging up the letters. Glad we cleared that one up.

We can't wait to meet you little man!

How we roll on a Saturday

Donuts, milk and sunglasses.

She wouldn't take these things off for three hours...only took her 3 minutes to polish off the donuts.

Later, we drove to Pearland to celebrate cousin Eloise's 5th birthday. Her mom, Aunt Sarah to us, did an outstanding job of putting on this fairy party. The girls all loved it. Including our little Tinkerbell.
Check out the fairy fruit wands.
The older fairies....
And last but not least...the fairy cake!!

Fall Fun

We tried another go at the pumpkin patch today, but Addison is not one to outright smile for the camera unless she's manipulated or given food so we did the best we could.

Chinese Water Torture

Chinese water torture...or her first haircut...it's hard to tell the difference.

Starts off fine....as long as she has her goldfish.

The before shot.

She had the sweetest lady cutting her hair. We went in for "Toddler Tuesday" as Sweet & Sassy. Tuesdays offer a $10 haircut and this nice lady earned every penny.

What'cha doing there??
And so it begins...
Not liking the spray down
You miss the whole transition from cute little kid chair to adult chair in the corner where child can be physically restrained by parent.

This is the aftermath and as I"m pretty much holding the girl in almost a headlock, I'm trying to document with the camera like any responsible parent would do.
Keep in mind the whole thing is done.....the lady is no where in sight but she carried on for a good 5 minutes more just to let me know how unhappy she was with the whole thing.
I'll have an after shot later....it was all we could do to get out of there in one piece!
