Let it Snow!

It has been a cooold week in the Tri-Cities and Audrey got to play in the first snow of the season this past weekend! We've been busy, busy, busy getting things ready for Christmas and baking up a storm around here. Audrey is officially my new baking buddy; she likes to stand on a chair at the counter next to me and help mix up cookie dough (read: eat flour). We've been baking goodies for Christmas presents and a cookie exchange we're going to today. Consequently, Audrey has cookies on the brain. She says "coo coo" for cookies and this morning it was pretty much the first topic she brought up after waking up. At least I'm teaching her young!

In Bailey news, I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow. I have no idea how that happened so fast, but it's got me thinking about how unprepared I feel this time around. I've got the security blanket of having been through it all before, so I'm really not worrying too much about the logistics of going into labor and subsequently bringing home a newborn. That also means I haven't been nesting at all. Aside from pulling out the cloth diapers we'll be using and depositing them in the proper place, that's about all I've got going for me. This could get scary, y'all.

Anyway, I'm going in to the doctor this afternoon for a Bailey check up and I'm pretty sure I've packed on at least a few pounds, so that should make the medical folk happy. I'm still on progesterone and scheduled to quit next week--the week after that I'll technically be full term and they theoretically wouldn't stop me from delivering if I went into labor. Yikes! I'm still planning on being at least a week overdue though...it's the only thing keeping me from a frantic fit of nesting in the midst of Holiday chaos.

I can't believe you are almost full term already. Can't wait to meet Thor's future partner in crime.
