This whole month we have been living with Grandma & Grandpa. Here are some pictures to show what we have done!! 

9.25 playing at the park! You started to like the bridges and how they move. 

Your new tea & food set. This toy has been a huge hit! Seriously like hours of play each day.

October 2 we went to spades farm as a family! Super fun! You loved it. 

We want to dads work for a quick visit on his birthday! Surprised him ☺️ you loved walking around all the desks and seeing people! 

Veggies is still a part of your bedtime routine. You made the case your chair :)

 Since October has been so nice we go to the park a lot! Grandpas park has been a huge hit. It's getting harder and harder for me to chase your around being so pregnant! But thankfully grandma or dada come a lot. 

You have been sweeping and raking the leaves in the driveway. We put you in a pile of leaves and you love it! Throwing them in the air saying weeeee!

This month we also watched a lot of Cubs. They made it to the NLCS but got swept by the Mets. Your dad and I got to go to a game in the previous series and see them win though so that was super exciting and a great memory to have! On to next year cubbies!!! 

Here is our future home baby girl. You probably won't ever remember living in three places in 6 months or the business of life at this moment. I pray you just feel loved and are constantly growing and learning new things. 

At this point our house has been a bit delayed due to a cabinet issue. So we will be at my parents until January. We are remaining positive and thankful for the opportunity to build a home that's completely ours. It is a different season with new routines, less time together (dads commute is longer), but we are adapting and choosing to trust the Lord. 

I am 35.5 weeks pregnant now and feeling the aches & pains! I pretty much hurt from morning to night and it is hard to get comfy. My heart burn / acid reflux is so bad!!! It was not this bad with Mackenzie. Tums are not working so today at the doctor I will ask what else to do! Four more weeks and baby sister will be here. I set up her clothes this week, washed the pack and play and my dad&mike rearranged the living room so we can make space for baby swing/bouncer. I also started ordering things online (diapers, car seat cover, soap!). 

This next month who knows what will happen but I am excited to look back and see once again how much Mackenzie will learn, where our house progress will be, if sister is here yet (due thanksgiving the 26th!) and what we all have done! 

Love, Mommy 💗
