5 weeks left!

So, as I was organizing the kitchen the end of November, I decided to switch over the dry erase calendar...then I realized that I only had 1 1/2 months to go til Baby Surprise arrives...where has the time gone? Truly feels like I just found out, and I found out early too...wow!
I had an appointment on December 2, very fast quick appointment since I had no concerns and baby is moving tons, head is down, heartbeat is still 140's, obviously growing. I measured a little bigger, but last time I was 1 1/4 cm larger, this time it was 1 cm over the norm but still within the acceptable range. I worry a little that I may have another big baby, Adelyn was 9#-11 oz. I'm hoping for a 7 or 8 pounder...not too little, not too big. Well, as long as he/she is healthy, I'll take whatever, but you know what I mean.
So Thursday is going to be jam packed. My mom is taking Addy in the morning so I can go get the rest of my Christmas shopping done, not too much left to do, but it is really hard to get things with kids. Speaking of, I have been without Jason since November 29th and 24/7 kid duty gets really wearing with nobody else to "take over" even if it is a half hour at night. Good thing we have great kids, there has only been a few moments of insanity! ha! So...my friends Gail and Cheri and I are going to a nice Mexican restaurant for lunch after I Christmas shop...that is going to be awesome and a break that will refresh me for another few weeks! Then, Thursday night I am taking the kids and my mom to Chippewa for a sleigh ride. It's suppose to be cold, so I think Adelyn will stay with Aunt Tina and Caden while we adults take the bigger kids. We did this last year and it was really nice and so relaxing, and cold last year too...the warm cocoa and chili will taste especially good when we are done!
Then Friday while the kids are at school and Addy is sleeping, I will wrap all the gifts and the last thing to do is to make the Christmas goodies with the kids this weekend. They love to decorate the frosted cookies and we have to make lots of them since they are a favorite at our house. I'm also going to attempt molasses with sugar and white chocolate zig zags on them...I love baking, too much!
Okay, I think that is about it...I have another appointment next week, then I start going every week from there until we have our new little family member! We're so excited!
