Derek's birthday was last Friday. He is now 28!! He's an amazing husband and father! I know God couldn't have given Madelyn and I a better guy! He's been absolutely wonderful during this pregancy - even with the mono escapade. He's done 90% of the housework and taken care of Madelyn. Derek - I love you so much!
So for his birthday, he wanted to go out shopping, so we did - on BLACK FRIDAY. We left the house about 9:15am and didn't get back until 4:45pm. It was a long day, but we got most of our Christmas shopping done. She's so social. We were eating lunch at Panera Bread and just about the only table left was by the front door and the windows. She was so occupied by looking out the window and waving to them and saying "hi". It was hilarious! She did eat some of her lunch after some persuasion.
Thursday was spent at my Grandma/pa Kline's house. Food, food, food. My parents, sister and Derek and I gave my little cousin his belated birthday present - a green "Oliver" tractor. His name is Oliver. He loved it. Later we saw on Facebook that he took it to bed with him that night. So cute! Madelyn loved playing with her older cousins and my sister let her help "wash dishes". Madelyn played in the water and then threw a fit when Whitney took her away from the sink.
Friday morning, as I mentioned before, was spent in Fort Wayne shopping. Then Friday night we were off to the Clark side for Thanksgiving - pizza. We knew we would all be "turkey-ed out" so we opted for the non-traditional feast. Madelyn was so tired from all the shopping she fell asleep on the way there and then stayed asleep for a while after we got there. But she sure did stay up late! While eating dinner, Derek's temp crown fell out so he called his dentist and they made an appt. for 8am Saturday morning. Reminder: his dentist is still in Marion. Late night - early morning for Derek.
Saturday, Derek headed out for the dentist and I was able to sleep for a little longer until Madelyn woke up. We bummed around the house til Derek got home then started in on the next Thanksgiving feast. We has some friends over to the house for turkey; Derek wanted to make his own turkey. So we ate an early supper and then played a game and the guys played Derek's new Wii Football game he got with birthday money.
Yesterday, we had a dr. appt. for the baby. I'm 2 cm. dialated and 50% efaced! Woohoo! Work is worried that I'll go before the induction date and leave them stranded. The other secretary is off sick for a couple weeks. We'll see what God has in mind. We go in to the hospital at 6am on Dec. 15th, unless the little one decides to come sooner. Derek's parents are coming down to stay with Madelyn at the house while we are in the hospital and my mom is taking off a few weeks to help. Should be a couple busy weeks with the little one coming and with Christmas.
Anyways, I know I blabbered. I usually do. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and have a great weekend!
