Here's a rendering of what the new house will look like when it's done. Sooooo excited!!!
Belated Update
I realize it's been a while since I last posted but a lot of things have happened.
1. Maddie had her first experience with stitches. I got a call from her school on election day that she had fallen and hit her head on one of the little play tables. Split her eyebrow right open. Luckily, her pediatrician could do the stitches at his office rather then sending us to the ER. She ended up with six and got them out last Monday. She was very brave and I have to admit that I was pretty proud of myself that I handled it as well as I did. Amazing how the maternal instinct takes over when your child needs you. =)
2. We FINALLY have the building permit for our new house, so we (well, the construction guys) are supposed to break ground this coming Wednesday. Yay!!!!!
3. Pregnancy is still going well, though I have to admit that emotionally I am having a really hard time lately. I've been a bundle of nerves and a lot of tears have been flowing. I'm sure the upcoming holidays are bringing some of it on, as Audrey is supposed to be here with us this Christmas. I've started seeing a new therapist and it does help to talk some of these things through.
Yesterday, I freaked out a little, imagining that Baby #3 hadn't moved as much as normal. Luckily, my midwife's office is extremely kind and told me to just come in to check it out. I had a non-stress test where they hooked my up to a monitor for about 20 minutes to check the baby's heart rate. The good news is that I got to listen to that beautiful sound long enough to ease my nerves. Bad news is that it made me feel a little foolish, since she was obviously beating away, nice and strong, in there. But considering I'm 24 weeks and have really only had two "freak outs" so far, I think that's not that bad considering everything that's happened this year.
4. Shout out to Mom and Dad.....they will be celebrating the 40TH ANNIVERSARY of their first date in a few days. It boggles my mind.....I thought that being with Alex for almost 8 years was impressive. Not so much when I think about them. =) But it's something really grand to shoot for though - can't wait til we can brag about that milestone too!
That's it in a nutshell for now. When we have pictures of our house starting, we'll post them.

Carving Jack O Lanterns
Tuesday night, Maddie "helped" Daddy and Grandad carve pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns. Here are some pics....
Maddie's fuzzy, but a good shot of what the finished products looked like.
Grandad working hard.
So much fun!

A Few More (And Then I'm Off To Bed!)
Here are just a few more for the evening.....
Maddie and Daddy passed out on the Nana and Grandad's couch. Maddie was tired from a full day of school and swimming lessons. And Daddy? Well, he can just sleep whenever and wherever the mood strikes. =)
I don't know how clear this will be but here is a 3D image of Baby Girl #3. It's showing her face, her left hand up to her mouth and her right arm kind of bent up (her elbow by her cheek.) I'll try to scan it in the next few days but wanted to try and share. We've never had a 3D peak of the any of the girls for us, so it was a special treat. She is healthy and we have every reason to believe she will be home with us March 1.

Just after Audrey passed away, my brother Jacob and his wife, Stephanie, purchased a brick with her name and birth date to be placed outside Disneyland. We saw it for the first time on Oct. 17th and I was surprised at how emotional we all were. Frankly, I totally lost it and there were tears for all of us. Just a small reminder as to how important she is to us all. Here are a few pictures......
A special thank you to Jacob and Stephanie. It is such a special thing that you've done.
