So Long, October!

In October...

I finished up my series of organizing posts with the kitchen.

I shared some recent Instagram photos and cute videos of Claire.

We hit the town for a before-baby date night and took Claire to the pumpkin patch.

I reflected on what "respect life" month means to me.

I compiled all of my recent apartment pictures into one home tour post.

We found out that Maggie wasn't growing as much as we'd hoped, so our c-section date would have to be pushed up and we had a week to try all the natural induction methods we could think of.

We took Claire to the Seattle Aquarium.

I completed one last sewing project, a doll carrier for Claire.

After a week of attempting to coax Maggie out naturally, I still wasn't dilated at all. 

My sister came to visit for Maggie's birth! For our last weekend as a family of three, we hiked Snoqualmie Falls and helped Claire finger paint our pumpkin.

Maggie arrived and surprised us all by weighing in a full two pounds heavier than all the ultrasounds had estimated.

I shared Maggie's birth story and what a planned c-section is like.

We snapped the last picture for Maggie's weekly bump shots and dressed the girls in matching outfits for the first time.

We continued our Halloween family costume tradition by dressing up as characters from Peanuts.
