Baby update, New Car, Halloween...

My mom told me this morning that it was about time I update my blog. I really have been a slacking blogger. It has been the last thing on my priority list since I have been so busy. Hopefully my life will settle down so I can start "nesting" for this baby.

Today I am 33 weeks pregnant. I just got back from an Ultrasound, Stress Test, and appointment. Welcome to another weekly "chore" I have to do EVERY WEEK! They have been a little concerned because I measure small, and the baby is in a small percentile. So lets just say they are watching her closely to make sure they don't have to take her out any time soon. So far, so good. The Smarts and Barkers just have small babies. And don't worry, I gained a whopping 4lbs, THIS WEEK! I must have eaten way too much Halloween candy. Plus I guess it's about time I start packing on the lbs.

We also purchased a Saturn Outlook about two weeks ago. We drove all the way to Chicago to pick it up and I LOVE it!


The week of Halloween Adeline and I made my Great-Grandma's famous sugar cookies. Adeline LOVES helping me do everything and she really likes helping bake cookies because she feels entitled to several when they are done.






Halloween was a lot of fun for Adeline this year. Her friends came over for dinner and then they all went trick or treating together. She had been anticipating Halloween for quite some time now and would always say, "you knock on the door... and then, trick or treat!"





Lately, when she has to go potty she runs to the bathroom yelling "don't let Chloe eat my food!" Its true that Chloe is a threat when it comes to protecting one's food. She is always really worried about it. Another thing she has been saying lately is "don't leave me!" She'll say it really sad and make us feel bad when we are putting her down for a nap or bedtime. She is such a good girl and is at such a fun age right now. I love it!

Boston

It's pretty official... we are going to be moving to Boston in April. Abe just got an email notifying him that we will be moving there for his follow on assignment (he graduates from his masters program in March). Not sure how I feel about it yet. We have known for quite awhile that we will most likely be going there, but I was kind of hoping just to stay here. I love it here. I love our house.

Anyway, I have lots of updates and pictures that I will hopefully get time to post in the next couple of days. I have been SLAMMED with Photography and doctors appointments.... more info on that to come. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
