Still pregnant . . .

Well, here I am - sitting on the couch at nap time instead of sitting in the hospital with a new little boy.  Oh well, I guess my little turkey just isn't done yet.  I have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning, so I hope it's with my usual doctor and we can discuss options on making him come out, since the exam is done and all.

As an EXTRA special Halloween treat - Makena slept until 8:15 this morning.  What a deal!  Of course I can't let her do that tomorrow since we have to have breakfast done and such before the doctor.  I am convinced she's having a growth spurt with all this sleeping.  That would also help explain the attitude of last week.  She's been good, for the most part, this weekend.  Just a couple of meltdowns, but she's doing much better.  I've found that telling her "we only cry when we have an owie" has REALLY helped.  She stops crying during a fit almost instantly.  She has also stopped with the hitting, I think it was just a few days of testing us, well, me.

After she wakes up today we're going to go for another walk and most likely visit the park on our way home again.  It's good exercise for me and fresh air is good for her too.  I just wish she would keep her mittens on.  She likes to have them put on, but she doesn't like to keep them on.

Tonight is also the big night for trick or treating!  I'm thinking we'll just do a couple of houses on our street then she can stay in the house and help hand out candy the rest of the night.  We usually shut down the show by 7:30 - 8 anyway.  All the young kids are done by then and we can also get Makena into bed on time.  I hope she has fun.  If not, we'll just come home and have a night as usual.
