Thanksgiving 2009
With Jane's imminent arrival we did Thanksgiving at our house.
It was wonderful as my parents (Sandy and Connie) and sister (Kelly) as well as Nathan's parents (David and Sandy) were all there. We had a wonderful time enjoying each other's company and laughing at Katherine. She's so much fun. The big scab under her nose if from doing a face plant off a chair. Ironically enough it fell off today, the day after we took a bazillion pictures. Oh well, we'll try to keep her face wound free until we get some pic's of her with Jane.
The day after Thanksgiving we made my mom's Christmas cookies. Katherine had a ball playing with the flour and pushing down the cookie cutters.
My Dad and sister headed back to Tucson this morning as Kelly has her 10 yr high school reunion tonight. My Mom is staying her for a few weeks until after Jane arrives and we think we can survive without her. Nathan's folks are headed back to Flagstaff tomorrow afternoon (Sandy is hoping the baby comes so she can stay and skip work on Monday).
We had a great visit with our families and were very glad they were all able to come to us this year.
(Sorry for the lack of picture organization - it won't let me move them around for some reason.)

38 Weeks - Katherine vs. Jane
I'm 38 weeks - Four more days of work and 13 days until Jane's due date!
I'm getting my house cleaned next Monday (so excited) and my folks and sister are coming up for Thanksgiving. We're excited to see them all, hopefully Jane doesn't get too excited and come before then. It would suck for numerous reasons...I'd almost be guaranteed that my doctor would not be on call, it'd be a crappy birthday for Jane (we'd always have to have her party a week early or a week late and the holiday would always over-shadow it) and my family will be in town (good except it'll mess up my sisters 10 yr high school reunion down in Tucson on the 28th).
Here is a picture of me pregnant with Katherine at 38 weeks.
This picture was taken this morning, 38 weeks pregnant with Jane.

Fun Pic's
Here are some pic's from the weekend (my weekend of Mon/Tues).
We started off the morning snuggling in bed. We've been keeping our windows open at night so it's cold in the morning...especially if you're drinking cold milk!
Don't rock the boat:
Not only is this a bag, it's a hat for Daddy:

Later that day Daddy and Katherine had a great time being goof-balls...

9 Months - 27 Days to go!
I'm 36 weeks along, have 27 days to go until Jane's due date and 18 days left until my last day of work. Yippee!
I suppose it's time to get the hospital bag packed, figure out who is going to watch Katherine if I go into labor early, get the newborn clothes down from the attic and wash them etc. It's coming up so fast!
Here is a belly shot from a few days ago. My belly looks about identical to what it did at this point with Katherine. I have a picture at home but not online so I can't show you the one from Katherine's pregnancy - you'll have to take my word for it. I'm very interested to see how they compare - due date, height, weight etc. Can't wait to meet Jane!
This is this weeks belly shot - week 36.

Halloween 2009
We Whicker's had a wonderful Halloween!
We didn't do the traditional carving of the pumpkins, but rather a carving of a melon! Nathan went to go buy pumpkins the day before Halloween and everyone had removed them from their stores! It was the weirdest thing. Nathan tried 4 or 5 different locations to no avail. I said well we can't just not carve pumpkins, how about if we carve a melon instead? Next year we'll buy a pumpkins a bit earlier, even if we won't carve them until the day before.
Nathan and Katherine were Pirates this year while I was some sort of queen. They looked great, so cute, and my costume was perfect as it had an expandable belly. The only female pirate outfits were slutty and that just wasn't going to work being 9 months pregnant.
Katherine had a ball trick or treating, she totally got it although was too shy to say anything to anyone. She figured out quickly that we only went to houses with the lights on so when she'd see one, get all excited, squeal, and run to the front door. It was so much fun watching her.
We went up and down our street, had pizza for dinner, and had her in bed by 8pm. A great time was had by all.
Nathan's folks were in town, which was really fun for everyone.
