I have been a bad blogger lately!!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Carl and I cleaned house so we could have Thanksgiving Dinner! It took forever! The holiday was great! Dinner was great! We had about 20 people here for dinner. We had leftovers on Friday and my mother who is reading a grandmother's magazine mentions to my sister Dina that they should be helping clean my house. Since we had just cleaned the house, the only thing left to do was to clean the basement. My sister did this on Sat!! It took her about 5 hours. She straightens everything and made it look so nice!! Carl has a way of just dumping things at the bottom of the step. When I get a chance I am going to take pictures and post them!

Carl and I have been going to birthing classes. I think Carl is starting to get a little bit excited about the arrival of his son. We are still cautiously optimistic though! The classes have been fun and we have learned a few things that probably would have helped with Lorna's delivery. Last night they were showing massaging techniques so when we got home Carl practiced! Yea for me!!

I had an appointment today with the Dr and everything looks good. I unfortunately have gained 30 pounds! OUCH! Oh well, it can come off later! I don't really care as long as Ashton gets here and is healthy! I asked about my chances of a normal birth because of the lovenox/heprin injections and she said that she wasn't going to treat me any differently so my chances are the same as everyone else! I am also still on a 2 week visit schedule so I am taking that as good news cause that means there isn't anything wrong!

Meet the Maxlock Racing Team!

This is Andrea. She is the 2004 local champ. She moved into the masters car fot this years racing. We had a terrible time figuring out her car!! Hope we do better with it this upcoming season. We are going to tear her car apart and try to figure out where we went wrong. This will help us to since Taylor is moving into masters as well. Andrea's car was painted black for the season but since we already started to work on it the paint has been removed. We also deceided that black isn't a good color when you are fully inside the car and laying down!! It looked like a coffin! I am not sure what the new color will be for next year!

Meet the Gator!

This is Taylor. This years local Champ. She will be moving up to a masters car for next years racing! Don't you just love the gator on there!! She is very very girly and we call the car the girly gator! You can't see it but the toenails and fingernails on the gator are painted.

This is my goddaughter Courtney.

This is her car the Ocelot. I didn't even know what that was until she told me! She was a rookie this year. She won alot of trophies and 2 awards for best theme. She picked out the color of the car and the spots to make sure everything was just right for her Ocelot!

This is Lexie Legs!

She was a rookie this year. Her car that she raced this year has been retired. We put the shell of the car in the background (blue). This new car will be painted for next year. She has chosen monkeys. A whole bunch of them and her car will be called Lexie's Loonies! Here she is with her trophies from this year! Not bad at all!!

My Ultrasound and Appt. Today!!

Ashton is doing good! He is approximately 2lbs and 9oz! Right where he is suppose to be. He is only measuring 3 days ahead now. The placenta looked really good and my cervix looks good too! He was moving so much they had a hard time getting the steady heartbeat on him. We got to see him sucking his thumb! It was so cute. She tried to snap the photo but he moved. Everything about him looks good! It was so nice to see him again. I couldn't believe how much he had grown. I also can't believe that the last u/s was 10 weeks ago! Seems like I was just posting the u/s photos from last time! I was glad to see that he is measuring so close to his due date and that his weight isn't up there. The gestational diabeties can make for a big baby. I am relieved to know that the placenta looked really good and so happy that he is doing well.

Here is my profile!!!

Yes I still am a boy!!

This is my face!

This is the top of my head!

Looks like I am going to have big feet!

Just like my grampie!

My Hand!

Well I at least see 4 fingers!

My sister has set the date for my shower!

It is going to be December 3. I don't think it has really set in yet that this baby is coming soon. I am counting down the days!!

Went to church yesterday and it was our all saints sermon. Meaning the lesson is remembering those we have lost and those that are grieving. We get a chance to light a candle at the alter. I went up and lit one for Lorna. I cried. This is the 2nd time in a month our minister has made me cry at church. Grief is a funny thing. It truly never goes away and that person is always remembered. Lorna is forever apart of me and Carl and will never be forgotten. If it hadn't been for her, Ashton wouldn't have made it this far.
