Friday Fab 5...a day late

This is for my pal Val so that maybe she will stop whining that neither Rachel nor I did a Fab 5 yesterday! :)

1. We got LOTS of snow this week here in VA and Adah loved it!

2. At my dr appointment this past week the doctor said that I was not going to make it to Wednesday to be induced....I'm still waiting :)

3. Josh got to come home a little early one day because of the weather....Adah was beyond thrilled

4. Adah took a long nap on Wednesday and I got to REALLY clean the whole apartment! Some might not think that is too fabulous but to a someone like me who finds cleaning fun it is beyond fabulous!

5. My sister is here! Now I don't have to worry about what we will do with Adah when the baby decides to come and I don't have to be alone all day everyday...for a week at least!

My next fab five will without a doubt we consumed with our newest little peanut!

Since Da-Dee got home from work early today Adah got to play a little longer in the bath and we were able to get some cute pictures of her adorable and silly self!

She LOVES to look at herself and whoever else is in the room through the metal cover in the tub! She will sit there and smile and wave and say hi to herself and whoever else! She thinks it is the coolest thing!

Josh and I love to ask Adah where her cheeks are bc she will usually put both hands on her cheeks and smile and look like such a cute little doll! Tonight all we got was one handed...still just as cute!
For the first time ever Adah braved the water on her tummy and decided to kick and act like she was swimming! This is a HUGE step for our little chicken girl!
These next two are just a few from Wednesday before we left for story time! I was just so excited that she will wear hats now and especially this cute little grape hat!

Off to get my sister from the airport! So excited to have her here to help out for the next week! Adah has already been practicing saying "unt ash-ee"!

Really!?!? I thought we moved further south! We have seen more snow this year than I saw while living in CT and we have seen more snow this year than my BFs in CT! RIDICULOUS...I think so! We are suppose to get another good storm on Sunday and Monday too! Guess we should move back to CT to avoid all this snow ;)

This was what it looked like as Adah and I waited outside of our Friends house after a playdate for the car to warm up! Just so you know we were at her house for maybe 2 hours and when we got there it wasn't even snowing and there was NOTHING white on the ground!

Today we tried out a different story time at a Barnes and Nobles in a mall over in Norfolk! My freind Stephanie had found out that they were having a "christmas party" so we went to check it out! It was a lot of fun! The story teller was dressed as an elf....mrs. claus was there and they had a musician that sang Christmas songs! They even gave each kid a free book as a gift and a goldfish necklace! After story time we had lunch with Stephanie and Caitlyn and then went and looked around at Gymboree and The Children's Place before heading home to nap so that we could make it to my LAST OB appointment!

Here is Adah when we first got into story time! She was so excited and I am so excited that she likes to wear hats now! This is one of my FAVORITE hats! My parents got it for Adah when we were living in Monterey!
My OB appointment went good. I am scheduled to go in next Wednesday to be induced at 6:30am! However, the doctor says that I won't make it til then! ACK! Hope we are ready...good thing we FINALLY decided on a name a couple of nights ago...now we just have decide on how we want to spell it! Since we are so close to her being here we are going to keep the name a surprise!

"CHEESE!"..... for lemons and getting to sit in the seat next to mommy instead of a highchair!

We thought we were moving south to avoid such cold weather but I guess we didn't move far enough south! This week it is not suppose to get above 38...well actually 38 was the high today and that is the highest it is going to be all week! Adah and I woke up to snow this morning and it didn't stop until noon and then started again after Adah got up from her nap! She loves to stand at the back door and watch it fall and collect on the balcony! We decided to stay in today and not venture out into the cold but since Adah loved the snow (it is her first actual snow that she is able to understand) I dress her warm and we went out onto the patio to check it out! We didn't last long because it was FREEZING!

After we came in Adah decided to put on her shades and take her baby for a spin!

This is right after it stopped snowing the first time...we got more after this!
Our view! To the right...not pictured is actually the church that we have been going to!
