The One With November's Friday Photo Dump

November is ending!  I didn't get quite as many pictures as I usually do, because I have been... well, 8 months pregnant.  :)  I've been contracting pretty regularly for over a month now, so we spent as much time as possible resting, but we tried to squeeze in some fun things too.  

This month, we found out just how much Paige likes to play hide and go seek...

Throughout my whole pregnancy, Paige has loved to listen to the baby's heart beat, so I finally got a few pictures of it...

I haven't been the best at documenting my belly growth this time around, but I figured we better get at least one more in before the big day.  I'm officially bigger than I was with Paige, although, I haven't gained as much weight with this one as I did with Paige (funny, especially since I ate healthier & exercised with Paige's pregnancy)....

35 weeks

Every one has one of these pictures, so I figured I needed one too...

Paige has been especially obsessed with reading this month.  Although, she always has to have 10 books at a time (notice the pile on grandpa's lap)...

We ate lots of yummy food & enjoyed being with lots of family for Thanksgiving.  We also shopped online a lot (wahoo!) to get as ready as possible for Christmas before the baby comes.  Because I have been contracting for months & Rick would be going out of town the next week, I passed on Black Friday shopping.  It was a pretty big heart breaker for me, but I didn't want to risk anything quite yet.  Because of that, Rick agreed that we could put up Christmas the day after Thanksgiving.  It sure was fun with Paige this year, I think it will keep getting more fun each year, too.

Paige also somehow knows the difference between Christmas music & non-Christmas music.  This month she asks for "more ho ho music" when she gets in the car every time.  How can you say no to that, even if it is before Thanksgiving?

Paige has been going to speech therapy usually 3 times per week & she's been making good progress.  We are so excited about it.  She even said a 4 word sentence all on her own (without us prompting her).   She's also started trying to count on her own.  I'm so so proud of her!

Our baby girl #2 will be here so soon!  We are so excited to meet her (& for mommy's contractions to finally stop).... :)  What do you think, another bald baby??
