Count down

I can count on one hand how many weeks I have left!! We've taken all the necessary courses and even had our pre-admission appt at the hospital. Pretty sure that means all we have to do now is wait for Pumpkin to arrive!!

Here's a pic at 35 weeks.

As we're getting closer to Halloween, the inspiration for Baby Bateman's blog is starting to show up on TV. The timeless Peanuts classic is one of my personal favorites. As Linus waits for the Great Pumpkin, I can't help but notice the resemblance to Tim and me.......

About that time.....

This weekend Tim and I took a Sunday drive in search of a pumpkin and apple cider. We hit the jackpot and decided the overwhelming evidence pointed to Baby Bateman's new name.

PUMPKIN!!

This is our final chapter of the Fruit of the Month Club for Baby Bateman. In the epilogue you'll find out Baby Bateman's name!!

Octurduckenfest 2008

Many of you have been a part of Ali's and my long standing tradition of Turkeyfest. Started in college, Turkeyfest is an annual dinner party thrown right before Thanksgiving to get everyone in to the spirit of the season. As my due date would fall on this time-honored event, we moved the date into October.

Tim and Brett added their own spin to the festivities with a turducken this year. (a turducken is a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey......yum yum) Rumor has it that Tim and Brett want to create their own turducken for future Turkeyfests!It was a great evening!! Here are some pics.........
