Something wicked this way comes

Today Lizz and I went up to Fruit Heights to see our mom. We went to The Bun Basket (delicious bakery/deli I used to work at) for lunch and then Secret Haven (home decor store). They have all their Halloween and autumn decorations out and it got me SO excited for Halloween! I've already put up my very few fall decorations and am tempted to haul out the Halloween stuff as well...tacky? Kristo and I have been thinking of costume ideas for the family. I think my favorite so far is for Kristo to be Captain Ahab and baby Noah (if he decides to be born by Halloween :) be a little white whale, but I'm not sure what I could be?? We also thought of Kristo being Willy Wonka, I'd be Violet and baby Noah would be an Umpa Lumpa or a lollipop... We're a bit nerdy, but come on... Halloween is fun!
As far as the baby countdown goes, we're four days from my due date and still waiting on pins and needles. I feel like if my belly gets any bigger I'll need a walker to get around. Our last doctor's appointment was last Wednesday and at that time there wasn't really any progress. We've tried to speed things along by trying a few home remedies. I've tried the Raspberry Leaf supplements, acupressure points, massage (deep tissue and foot massages are said to induce labor), long long walks, etc, but to no avail.

Kristo made me feel a bit less impatient by suggesting that there's a destined time for Noah to come. So I guess for now I'll be patient and keep nesting (our house will be spotless by the time he arrives) and trust that Noah will come when he's good and ready.

Hang in there! I know you must be going stir-crazy... but you're right, he'll come when it's the right time. Until then, try to keep yourself busy. :) I love the costume ideas! You could also look at nursery rhymes and try to go off of that. :D
