Happy Halloween

First off...I'm slowly working on my labor and delivery blog. Yes, still! It's a long story and this baby takes a lot of time!

Anyway....

Today is our first holiday with Faith. It's Halloween! We had decided to not pass out candy this year and since Faith is so little (2 weeks yesterday), we weren't going to dress her up or take her out. When friends would ask if I was going to dress her up, I would just tell them I was going to dress her like a baby. Well, this didn't sit well with my friend Melissa. Her and her husband, Brian, came over earlier this week to bring us dinner, rock the baby and present us with a Halloween costume for Faith. She said she just couldn't let me dress her up as a baby for Halloween.

So this evening, I finally got out of my PJ's, dressed Faith in her costume and headed out to Trick -or-Treat. We only hit up one house, we thought we'd start of easy since she is so young. We headed out to Melissa's house which is around the block to show off our cute baby girl!

Dreaming of Halloween candy!

Faith at Brian and Melissa's house...but we didn't even get any candy! What's up with that?!

6 Days...if she's on time!

I had my 39 week doctor's appointment yesterday, everything looks good. 2cm dialated and 70% effaced...is it okay to share that kind of info on a blog? Anyway, the doctor said she didn't think I'd make it to my due date, but who knows for sure. I guess she could have been saying that to just make me happy. Well anyway with that news, mom has decided to leave 2 days earlier to try her best to be here. So many things I want to go right, but I know none of it's really up to me. Not only would I like for mom to be here, I have a friend that works in the nursery who is going to give me special treatment if she is on duty...if not, I guess I get the regular old patient treatment unless I pitch a fit...which I might. :-) Bags are about packed and ready to go!

Anyway, the house isn't perfect, but I think I'm content enough with it. We have the nursery done, here are our pictures:

And after!

We sure are getting excited about Faith Anne's arrival. I think the biggest thing I'm anxious about is the after pain and if her name is fitting. We'll see if it sticks when she's born...not that we have a back up though!

Perhaps my next posting will be about her arrival! Thanks to everyone for the precious gifts they gave us to take care of our little girl!
