a day at Gramma and PopPop's

Kyra and I decided to give Jeremy a day off and went to spend it with my folks. We picked Amy up on our way (still in her pj's). Kyra and Amy played in a tub; Kyra climbed the ladder to help PopPop put lights up outside (she actually didn't get any help climbing the ladder, she just did it); and she helped Gramma put a few "balls" on the tree.

cute Kyra and big belly

Once again it's been longer than I intended between posts. I can't say I've been particularly busy, just particularly tired. Kyra continues to grow and develop faster than I thought possible. We truly enjoy her more and more every day, even if she is growing more stubborn and independent and acting a lot more like a 2 year-old than a 15/16 month old!!! :) My c-section is scheduled for December 28th, but I can't imagine I'll make it that long. It's too bad I can't tell my body it's going to have a c-section and it doesn't need to prepare itself for labor, 'cause my body is definitely preparing itself for labor (i.e. lots of contractions, baby's already down very low, and I look like I'm about to pop).

sick time entertainment

Kyra is finally healthy again! Her fever broke on Tuesday, but then she had a nasty reaction to the Tamiflu (a rash all over her torso-front and back-and some "psychological effects-I actually think she was hallucinating 'cause she'd be screaming and crying and pointing, but there was nothing there...made for some long nights!). It took until yesterday 'til she started acting normal again. But, wearing my shoes kept her entertained for a little bit on one sick day!

Look below at our cute Halloween "bull"

Halloween pics

I put Kyra's "bull" costume back on her this morning and took her outside to get a few pictures. Still didn't get a real good shot, but at least we got a couple decent ones...

where's the Halloween pictures???

You're probably wondering why I haven't posted any pictures of Kyra in her Halloween costume yet. I have two very good reasons: (1)We really didn't get a good picture of her in her costume so I need to put it back on her and try again; (2) she's come down with the dreaded H1N1 flu, so our time has been spent trying to get her well. Her fever is gone (I hope for good) and she seems better today, just clingy, whiny, and extra sensitive. Now, we're hoping Jeremy and I can avoid it somehow. Provided we're all well, I'll post cute costume pictures soon!!!
