We were relieved to see that Maegan fit into her Halloween costume! We thought it might be a little bit too big, but it worked out great! Isn't she just the cutest little pink leopard you ever saw! We loved it! As did the grandparents...who were so happy that we came to see them. We had a great night, and were relieved to get home and get to sleep that night.
I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to take this picture. It was way too cute! What a proud daddy!
So at the request of friends I'm posting some more pics of Maegan. Here she is in one of her many outfits that were given to her for Halloween. I think the cap makes her look like my li'l gansta. Ain't she cute!
So far she's been sleeping pretty good. I'll admit we did have a doozy last night, but this too shall pass. For the most part she lets us sleep for two to three hours at a time. We're still working on making it consistent though. But this is what we normally wake up to in the morning. She's all bundled up to start off with, and then by morning she's wormed her arms out of the blanket. It's funny.
One of her many funny faces. She pulls most of these after we feed her, or after she gets her gas drops. She's having small tummy issues. Her little funny faces make the sleepless nights worth it.
I can't remember who gave us this little onsie, but it says it all! We can't help but smile at her...she is just too cute! And she's growing so fast! She eats and eats! Our friends Tyler and Destiny had their little boy on the 20th and he weighed 6lbs 6 oz. Maegan was huge compared to him, and they are only ten days apart! It's crazy!We love to watch her when she's wide awake. She always moves her head up and down and plays with her mouth. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Here's the proud papa! Jeremy is so great with her! He just loves to kiss those cute little chubby cheeks!
I was so excited when they saw her head start to come out! The first question I asked was whether or not there was hair on it. Jeremy told me lots of dark hair! That was enough motivation to push her out as fast I possibly could! And she even has my cowlick! (If I spelled that wrong...oh well!)
When she is awake, she is wide awake! I have a little video of her burping last night that I will post later. She gets these funny looks and bobs her head up and down. It reminds me of ET. And her little lips get all puckered and pursed. It's way cute! Anyway, we are off for her first doctor's appt. I'll post more later. 
Yesterday Jeremy and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary. We both can't believe how fast the time has gone and that any day now we are going to welcome our little girl! We took the opportunity to have one last dinner together before we become parents at the Cheesecake Factory. Then we headed home and just relaxed and spent some quiet time together. Our friend Mandy stopped by with more gifts for Maegan. You should see our little girl's wardrobe. I don't even have that many clothes! She's been spoiled rotten in utero. We'll try not to let it get to her head. My due date is today, but we both have a feeling she's going to take her sweet time to get here. If I haven't had her by Friday morning, we'll set an induction date. Don't worry we'll keep everyone updated! Hopefully she decides to come in the next couple of days! We're ready!
Brian got his mission call!
Take a look to see where he's going! Then you can scroll down for more.
Here it is! In case you couldn't here it over the screaming of his sisters and mother, Brian is going to the Canada Edmonton Mission. He reports to the MTC on December 10. We are so excited for him, and he's slowly adjusting to the idea that he is going to freeze for most of his mission. I'll admit it was the last place I thought he'd go, but we are so excited for him!
So here I am (toting my basketball) with 10 days to go til I'm officially due! We've been getting the nursery ready, packing for the hospital as much as we can and just waiting. I'm finally starting to feel achy and I am tired a lot, though I definitely get bursts of energy for about three hours every other day or so. But I pretty much figure Maegan is going to take her sweet time in getting here. We're learning patience early, which is a good thing. If I don't go into labor before my due date, next Friday will be my last day at work for 12 weeks. It will be nice to have the break, and then I'll go back and work part time. Jeremy is ready to take two weeks off to help out, and I am so glad he'll be here! Now the waiting game begins!
So we are down to two weeks left. I'm dilated to a one and 70% effaced and rip roaring and rearing to go any time this little girl wants to make her debut! Thursday I thought my water might have broken, but a quick trip to labor and delivery showed nothing, so now we are just settling in for our last two weeks and I'm hoping that it doesn't go longer then that. I'm definitely at that tired stage and ready to have her here.
I want to issue a huge thank you to everyone who attended our showers and for all the wonderful gifts. I had such a wonderful time and appreciate all your love and support!
