This day has a few different reasons it means a lot to me....This year it falls on Thanksgiving which is always a wonderful day with family. Last year it was just a regular day to everyone else but to me it was the day I was due with what would have been my 2nd child whom I lost to a miss-carriage at 13 weeks.

Click Here to see what we did last year on November 24th

This year when I found out I was pregnant again almost one year to the date that I was last year I was given a due date of November 24th (again). My date has since been moved back to the 28th but the 24th has been the one that seemed to stick for me. I am sure at this point (with me not progressing much in the area of labor) it's mostly wishful thinking that I could hold her tomorrow and have her naturally but it's a good thing to wish for!

How amazing would that be if God chose the same day a year later to bless with me another child! On Thanksgiving no less! What a Thanksgiving that would be!

This baby has been an answer to prayer in so many ways for our family, this pregnancy has been no less than perfect and the type of experience my husband has prayed for.

I am good with whatever day and whatever way God chooses to bring Autumn-Faith into our lives...I just couldn't help think of what an amazing page that would be to add to our already amazing story!

Here's Hoping!

Ayla's 4 yr old Thanksgiving Program

Ayla had a thanksgiving program last Thursday night at her school. They performed a song and we ate a "thank-you" meal with her. Ayla had a table-full with Grandma and Grandpa, Nana, Papa and Mama Elsie there. She was so cute and did so well. There is a video below of her performance. We are so proud of our big girl!

Happy Thanksgiving!

39 Week Update

So I have told you about my photo-challenged husband...well this is more proof of that...But it does the job!
I had my appointment today with Dr. E and got checked for the 3rd time....and I was still 1 cm and "thick" so I am a little discouraged. But I really didn't feel like anything had changed so I was prepared for that.
Then came the "what do you want to do" questions....I really envisioned myself having a natural childbirth...a healthy baby has always been first priority but a natural birth has been a close second. Having already had a c-section I can't be induced so it's just a waiting game.
I decided to go ahead and schedule for November the 29th-the day after my due date and last appointment. This will give her another opportunity to check me and see if I have made any progress. I hope that I will have so I can postpone the procedure but if I'm still @ 1...she's coming out!!
I am ready to see her face, look at her fingers and toes and introduce her to her sister and family!! So at least with this option I can began making preparations...but let's be clear...I am totally ok with her coming anytime!

Christmas Tree Done!

I wanted to get the tree up so I didn't have to worry about it not getting done with the baby coming!

Ayla was my big helper!

Ayla was so proud!

Hanging her ornaments!

Can't believe how many ornaments she had this year...I remember her first and now she has so many and really enjoyed hanging them all. We even got one from Disney World to remember our first family vacation.

Christmas Tree's are so much fun! Can't wait to go purchase the girl's ornaments for this year!
