We've been a pretty busy family these last couple of weeks. We had a great time participating in the 5K Turkey Trot the weekend after Thanksgiving. Abigail won for her age group even though she rode in her stroller the whole time. The good news is that we didn't come in last place- that was our only goal, aside from finishing of course.
Making a gingerbread house has become one of our family traditions. Abby did a great job decorating her house this year! She is so proud of it.
The hospital where we will have the baby offers sibling preparation classes that we took advantage of. She got to practice changing diapers, swaddling a baby, learning about the umbilical cord (which she wants to help Daddy cut), and how to gently touch the baby. I think she is ready to be a big sister. She keeps asking if the baby is ever coming! Good thing we are down to the last month.
We also made our belly cast. Abby's job was to be the "smoother" and she did a great job. We did the same thing with Abby and I am so glad we did. I painted it and she still has it hanging in her room. For this one I was only a week further along than I was for Abby's. Her favorite color is green now, so I think we are going to paint it pink and green for her little sister. I'll definitely post some pictures of that process.
