Full term!!

SO excited to be almost done with this pregnancy. I really can't complain this time around has been SOOOOO much easier then last time. I think it's because of how i've been eating this time around, and how active I've been. With Ava I gained 45lbs...I know I had no self control. I don't regret a thing lol. This time around, I'm 3 weeks away from my c-section, and I'm up 18 lbs so far. What a difference. I still get out of breath talking...and walking lol but I'm glad I won't have so much weight to lose. Right now I'm 3cm dilated, and I get practice contractions maybe like 10 times a day. With Ava I didn't really get these, so this has been new. I also have A LOT of pressure. When I get up to pee 3952390523 times a night, I feel like she's going to fall out on the way to the bathroom lol. This brings up my labor concerns. I think 2 weeks ago baby girl was 5lbs 2oz. I think towards the end babies gain around a 1/2 lb a week. So in my mind...if I were to go into labor like tomorrow, I will REFUSE a c-section. Now 3 weeks from now if she were to make her appearance I would be more willing to do the surgery then. I don't feel like I'm carrying around a 9lb baby, but genetics can take over at any time and she may start packing on the pounds towards the end. Whatever happens, I'm just hoping for a healthy baby. 

Someone else is ready too

Can't wait to make her a big sister!

My and my girlies!!!

Halloween!!

This year was Ava's most fun Halloween yet! As soon as she saw the first commercial for Party City in September, she was ready to get her costume. We never know what she will want to be since she has been picking out her costume since her 2nd halloween lol. One night we were watching abc family and The Little Mermaid came on. She was IN LOVE. She told us right away, that's what I want to be for Halloween!! The next day me and Pete took her to Party City to pick out her costume. They had about 4 Ariel costumes, and THANK GOODNESS Ava picked out the cheapest one lol. She tried it on and looked in the mirror and turned around a million times. Then started crying. Why do you ask?? Because her hair wasn't red LOL. I know...little miss dramatic. I can't help but be a little proud though. She was super determined to try to look like Ariel as much as possible. I love my little girly girl. Before we left the store, we picked out this temporary hair dye spray in red and she was so happy!! The big day was on a Saturday this year, so on friday we had to make the rounds to all the schools, so we didn't miss the Halloween parades. Of course, Ava wouldn't be Ava if she didn't dress up in her costume!

In her ariel pajamas before the big day

my little red head

had to get a picture with the flash button so you could see how red her hair was lol

Ashley who was also a mermaid!! (for the day lol)

Ava got to sit with Mya during the parade 

At niyells school. She was a zombie hunter lol. 

The next day was Halloween and Ava was ready to go as soon as we woke up. That afternoon we headed over Liz's house since we always go trick or treating with them cause they live in the perfect neighborhood for it. 

right before we left. The weather was perfect!
