How are we doing?
Yesterday while holding a sleeping Charlotte and reading to Evie, I looked down and noticed something was missing. Namely, Evie's diaper. No idea how long she'd been without one, but there was her bare bottom sitting on our couch. That explained the "uh oh" from earlier... and the mysterious wet spot on the carpet.
So I guess some things are slipping, but overall we are managing to keep it together.

Today's schedule
2am: Contractions.
9am: Hospital.
1pm: Epidural.
6pm: Charlotte.
That's right. I'm no longer pregnant. Charlotte LeeAnn decided to show her cute face over a week early. She's a teeny thing, weighing in at 6 lbs 15 oz. We think she looks just like Evie, but with a head full of dark hair. I promise pictures will be posted as soon as my sister brings me the camera cord.
Until then, rest assured that we are all doing great. Evie's already been to visit. She was very sweet and gave Charlotte several kisses. I feel pretty amazing, despite the fact that I just gave birth. This labor went much easier than Evie's and so far the recovery hasn't been near as painful. Josh and Charlotte are currently snuggling on the hide-a-bed, having a daddy-daughter moment. Life is beautiful.

Two
She's entered the Terrific Twos. With it has come an increase in so many things- communication, clothes size, tantrums, snuggles, opinions. I'm so grateful my life is filled with her spunky, sweet self.

How about Christmas?
Evie's latest saying is "How about..." and fill in the blank. I suppose I must use the phrase a lot, because she says it all the time now. All day long our house is filled with her little voice asking things like "How about Little Einstein's?" or "How about apple sauce?" Today in the store she saw Christmas decorations everywhere and asked "How about Christmas, Mama?" As soon as we got home she pulled out her Santa hat and kept it on all night while playing. Holidays are much more fun with kids around.

Three and a half weeks
...until the Big Day!
For those who are curious about the pregnancy, here's a little update. My contractions have noticeably increased over the last week, both in frequency and intensity. Very few would I classify as painful, most of the time I only feel intense pressure. I had a doctor's appointment this morning. He said everything is great. My body has already made a little progress, but nothing to get excited about. I still have a long way to go and lots of time. I had two friends who gave birth last week, so I'm feeling a bit jealous. But I don't really want her to come now, she still has lots of growing to do. I just want time to speed up and have it be the week of my due date already.
By the way- I'm going to take a moment to complain about the cold spell that's hit Anchorage. What is up with the weather? Single digits in the day, dipping into the negatives at night. I am not a fan of November so far, I must say. I hope the current temperatures don't become this winter's standard.
