Sheesh! Elderly!

Today I was checking out my medical summary online and found this listed: "Elderly multigravida. Second or more pregnancy in a woman who will be 35 years of age or older at expected date of delivery."

ELDERLY! Sheesh, I didn't realize I'm considered ELDERLY at the early age of 39! I sure don't "feel" elderly. In a world where MANY new Moms are over the age of 35 I just find it amazing that they have it noted that I am "elderly" in at least 3 places on my medical charts.

I'm going to be sure to point this out to Justin as another excuse why I don't need to be doing housework and we need to get a cleaning service - after all I AM elderly!

...and since I NEVER post pics of myself, here's one of me today with baby brother.

Wohoo! Only 96 more days!

Only 96 more days until Annabelle will be a big sister. We were talking about upcoming holidays and Annabelle said "First comes Halloween, then my Birthday, then Thanksgiving & Christmas!" I added "and then Little Brother" and she said "Noooo! I don't want a little brother!"....I'm hoping she changes her mind by the time he arrives!

Sleepy

It's been a rough week around here. Annabelle has a horrible cold - I'm sure she caught it from her germy Kindergarten class. She has been so tired after school. Last night she fell asleep sitting up while watching Glee! Poor girl. Thank goodness we only have a half day of school today and she is off school Monday, this will be some well needed time to rest and get better!

Grades Are In

Annabelle's first "report card" came home in her homework folder on Friday. She made mostly A's with a couple B's. I was elated, Justin wasn't happy with the B's (of course, since he's a perfectionist). Kindergarten is going well and seems to move at break neck speed. Annabelle likes school and hasn't protested going as of yet. The early morning drop off is a little too early for us some days but we're getting used to it. We leave the house around seven every morning and Annabelle has been telling people she goes to school at night since it's still dark outside when we leave the house!

We're gearing up for Halloween and will hopefully get the fall decorations out this weekend. We have our Halloween costumes ready. We always love how busy our neighborhood gets on Halloween.

Little brother continues to grow and we are excited about his arrival, well, at least I am, Annabelle has her moments where she doesn't want a brother at all. He has been extra active the past couple weeks which makes us worry that he's going to be a hyperactive baby! I go in for glucose testing tomorrow - yuck, not looking forward to that.

And Time Flies

Rainbow with no Rain

Our New Tree

It seems like this school year is just flying by. Annabelle is adjusting well to Kindergarten. She likes her school, has made some new friends and is generally happy! Here are a few funny things that she's told me about Kindergarten:
She has a "friend" named David who has been trying to kiss her, I asked if he was trying to kiss her on the cheek and she said "no,  on the LIPS"...I decided this was a good time to explain to her that little boys have cooties.
She also said that David asked her what the "spots" are on her face, she told him they are freckles. I guess David hasn't seen to many little white girls with freckles :)
She is in the "Ohio State" group - her class is sectioned off into groups according to their learning level, she is in the highest group.
Annabelle isn't 100% thrilled about getting a little brother, she still insists that she wants a little sister. I tell her it's a great thing she's getting a brother because she won't have to share her Barbies with him.

We got a new tree in the backyard over the weekend. Hopefully it will give the yard some much needed shade. The tree is a Laurel de la India and is supposed to grow rapidly. We sure hope it does! Stella and Annabelle have already been enjoying the tree.

Oh brother!

In January Amazing Annabelle will be a big sister!
