How is it that time can go so fast, and so slow at the same time? I seriously feel like I have been pregnant forever. At the same time I can't believe that December is already half over! We had a great Thanksgiving. We had our Bailey lunch at Joys house. We usually go to my Aunt Char's house, but this year my mom wanted to have it up here. It was nice only having to go to Mountain Green. My Aunt Char lives in Lindon. So when you have two Thanksgivings to go to, it makes for a lot of driving. Then we had our Borgstrom dinner an Mikes parents. All the food was so good, and the company wasn't too shabby either. This year in the month of November we tried to have the kids write one thing they were thankful for each day. They came up with some pretty interesting ones.
We went big on black Friday this year. We bought a van! That's right, we are mini van people now. It is a red, 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. We had to drive to Idaho to get it, but we've decided it was worth it. So far, so good. It hasn't broke down on us yet.
The kids have loved playing in the snow this year. Jaycee asked me to help her make a snowman. By the time I was ready to go outside she already had one made. She was too quick for me. They each made a couple of snowmen. I think we had 7 by the time they were done.
Then we got a good snowstorm. Mike and the kids were outside for hours shoveling. Well, Mike was shoveling , the kids were mostly playing.
I finally finished all the dolls for my mom. I made 9 total. For some reason I only took pictures of 6 of them. Man, were they a lot of work!
Sometime between last time I posted and this time, Wesley got Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. It was pretty horrible. He had little blisters all over his hands and feet. He got them in other areas, but they were the worst on his hands and feet. Lucky for us he only had one in his mouth, and a couple around his mouth. There was pretty much nothing we could do to help him . When the blisters popped then his hands and feet were cracking and bleeding. It was pretty sad. Now his fingernails are falling off! I guess in extreme cases that happens. We are lucky Jaycee didn't catch it. It is highly contagious. His cousin Luke was not so lucky. He got it a couple days after Wesley did. It's strange how different it affected both of them. Luke had the spots and blisters all over his body. Not so much on his hands and feet. Weird disease.
Other then that we have been mostly healthy.
We started our Christmas countdown. The kids are loving it. I am having a hard time following through. Lucky for me Jaycee hasn't tried to read what is on the cards because I have changed a lot of the days. For instance, one day we were supposed to make cookies and take them to the neighbors, we ended up watching a movie instead. I'm sure we will bake some cookies at some point, I just couldn't bring myself to do it that day. Yesterday we went and saw the Ogden lights with Amber's family, and we only lost one child, and it was only for a minute.
I made all those hats.
Wesley liked it a lot more this year.
The line to see Santa was way to long, so we didn't get to see him.
Early in the month we went and saw the Roy lights and drove around our old neighborhood. The kids really like that. It's funny I think their favorite thing is opening Christmas books to read. Next year I'll have to do more of those...they are easy.
Jaycee has been liking basketball. She gets better every week.
I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and the baby (Bensen, we think) was measuring two weeks ahead of my due date. Doctor Boheen says that doesn't change my due date. And the earliest she could induce me would be January 19th. That seems so far away. She also said that sometimes big babies decide to come early all on their own. She said that if I go full term we will most likely have a 9 pound baby! My nurse with Jaycee threaten me with a C-section, and she was only 7 pound 3 ounces. So that's a little scary. I really hope he decides to come early. Right after Christmas would be nice. I'm not sure how much bigger I can get.
We moved up the timeline on our house. We were told the price of cement, and sheetrock would be going up at the first of the year, so we decided to get started. They should start digging this week, Monday or Tuesday. We are pretty excited.
Sarah moved in to their house this weekend. It has our kids excited to get over there.
