Getting Ready for Baby Boy's Arrival!

All is well in the Mehall household! We are preparing for our new arrival in 3 weeks- so exciting! My law school friends had a dinner in honor of baby boy last weekend. It was such a treat to get to celebrate him! Last night Todd and I went to spend the night in Fort Worth for his Christmas party. It was really nice to get to spend some time alone with Todd before our life gets really busy. We had a great night and a leisurely morning and then picked up Madeline from KK and Grandad's this afternoon. As each day goes by I am getting more and more excited about the addition to our family- such a blessing especially at the holidays!

We had a great Halloween! Madeline and I went to a Halloween party with all of her friends on Friday morning. That evening we went to another party with some older kids where Madeline had a ball running after all of the big kids from yard to yard as they went to the door to trick or treat!

Saturday we got up and drove to our friend's ranch with 6 other couples with babies. It was a beautiful day and was so nice to get out of the city as a family. It was probably our last "family" road trip before Baby Boy arrives. Madeline did well in the car but was ready to run around with her friends when we arrived. She is so funny and assertive. She loves to play with the other kids and also loves to dance when music is playing.

I will be 34 weeks pregnant this week-yeah! We officially moved Madeline upstairs into her big girl room last weekend and prepared the nursery for Baby Boy's arrival. It is so strange seeing the nursery now blue with all of his little items in it instead of Madeline's stuff. Makes me a little sad to have Madeline upstairs, but so goes the transitions of life, which are a blessing! I am trying to savor every moment with Madeline before our life gets crazy with Baby Boy's arrival- I pray that the transition is not too disruptive and that she loves her baby brother. We are blessed!
