Trick or treating at the Mall

We went to one of the local malls and did one of their Trick or treating.  It was busy but they got lots of goodies and enjoyed it.

Another week.........more pics

 

 Both hands in front of his face.

This was an encouraging apt.  The fluid was NORMAL! I'm glad since I refused  being hospitalized till this little bitty decides to come.  But even though we are normal they aren't going to keep a good eye on me.... Still scheduled for weekly sono's and now blood work.

Trick or Treating on Elmwood

Sunday- More trick or treating......they will be tired of it by Halloween hopefully

Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village-Trick or Treating

 So as long as I'm "free" I'm still going to do things with the kids.   They enjoyed getting goodies and enjoying Halloween activities.

All dressed up

Halloween Party

Up the street they had a Halloween Party for the Cub Scouts. Andrew was one and this was the first I saw one for this area. So we went to the party.  Jonathan got to bob for apples

and got to enjoy snacks

Another week.....another sonogram

Sigh ...a week I was both happy to get to and at the same time dreading. 24 weeks.....   At this week they feel the baby is viable- that the baby has a good chance to survive if delivered early.  They also can give medication to help increase the chances if the baby needed to be delivered now. I also know they have wanted me on hospital bedrest if I made it to this week and its been on my mind a lot. When they told me I wasn't happy when it was becoming reality. Something about being surrounded by 4 walls and not doing anything makes me stir crazy. Who wouldn't love  lounging in bed all day watching what I want to watch and ordering room service instead of having to cook ,clean, etc...  But I rather be comfortable in my own house bed, I want to see the kids and I want to be able to change my clothes when I want and not have to wait for clean clothes or the hosp. gowns.

Anyway...baby is looking good and doing fine. growing .. etc....

Did go to the hospital to get the drugs so if he came early he stands a good chance.  All I can say is nasty stuff.  The steroids to mature the lungs..... the side effects....Grrr and they have me on antibiotics so that the steroids I'm getting and weakening  the immune system will not cause an infection and make me go into labor.  Both are causing my stomach to be a mess however.

Lucky Ducky

 They had activities for the kids there and here's Jon throwing the football........ He got it in the hole no problem (football is white and red and in the tube perfectly) Sign him up to be the QB for the Bills

Andrew hanging out in the hot tub.

Lucky Ducky.......They had another activity with a duck race and didn't want to do it at first. He decided to and told them the first 3 ducks would win a slushy.  I want a slushy he said and I'm thinking ..good luck.  Well don't you know his "Ducky" came in 2nd and he won a slushy. 

He does exist. Andrew takes off at the waterparks and I hardly see him. He is usually at the front of the wave pool or going on the tube slides. Not easy to get pictures of him

Waves Water Park in Canada

 I know I'm suppose to be resting but the kids drive me crazy when I'm home. Jonathan thinks since I'm just lying there I should be at his beaconing call.  I feel guilty as I'm not paying as much attention to them and limiting were I'm going and doing.   I did go in the water and watched them swim and sat on the deck.  I do take it easy and limit what I do when I'm out.  I figure I need to see stuff or I will be stir crazy.

Fire Saftey

 Kids learned about fire safety and got some treats.  Grandma and Grandpa took them out later to  the movies and to let me rest. 

 Had to color to get treats.....Andrew will color for food.

Another week....Another Sonogram

 Feel like a broken record and the images are almost the same but can tell little by little he's getting bigger and bigger. Top pic is 3D image his little hands are in front of his face.  Fluid was good, still lower than the normal but is getting more consistently up.

Happy 70th Birthday to Grandpa Whitcombe
