Update 10/25

I have been neglecting my blog lately. We have been very busy! Well, mostly it is just me that has been busy. I have been busy with school and Xavier's party. We invited all of his classmates from daycare, but none of them showed up. I still think it was a success. He loved all of his gifts and having his grandparents here. Pictures of the party are below.

I am 35 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. Only 5 more to go! Isobel is doing great! She is getting bigger every day (and crushing my insides in the process!). I have gained 12 lbs total and am measuring right on track. Her heart beat was steady and strong at 140 at our last visit. I have been feeling extremely thirsty these past few weeks. No matter how much water I drink, it never seems to be enough. My body is getting ready for her to be breastfeeding. That is my theory anyway.

This was 34 weeks

Xavier is now sleeping in his own bed again AND sleeping all night! We bought him a lightening McQueen poster for his room and had him help us rearrange it. We also got him a night light which I think helped the most! I did a stamp chart with him that he absolutely loves! We let him pick out the stamp and the color of ink pad. He chose a soccer ball and red ink. He gets one stamp for sleeping in his own bed and one for sleeping all night.

Drake's pumpkin spice beer is completely finished. The alcohol content is that of a normal beer. He is pleased with this and the taste. He says it is delicious. For more details you can visit his facebook page or website. So far he is the only one who has had some of it, but he is taking it to a party tomorrow night. He also started a batch of cherry mead. He will be getting more hours at work the next few days because a coworker's girlfriend just went into labor. This will be nice for his next check, but it also means Xavier and I won't see him as much.
