Last month of pregnancy and I felt great. It was time to cram in a few last minute to-do's. Like an EEG for Lily, where we discovered she is no longer having seizures. A relief, to say the least, although she's not completely out of the woods.
Our car battery needed replacing, the dishwasher broke, I took out someone's bumper in the church parking lot (my car is such a beast that a minor swipe took out an entire bumper while my car sustained nary a scratch - go figure).
We attending Lily's school Veteran's Day program - makes me tear up every stinkin' time... and that's not the pregnancy hormones talking.
Next came Rachel's birthday. Our future engineer got, among other things, a circuit set, which provided indoor entertainment for weeks. Sadly, the magic has already worn off somewhat (I'm writing this in January).
Afterward: Thanksgiving break - full art projects, ornament making, playing games and cooking, of course. Each kid got to pick a dish to "make" and I was pleasantly surprised by their self-sufficiency in the kitchen. We broke out my Grandma's china and voila - my first Thanksgiving meal made entirely by our little Egbert family. But mostly me, let's be honest.

The day after Thanksgiving is for setting up the Christmas tree, naturally. We decorated it, took a few pictures and bam! We're ready to have a baby. Let's do this.
