Halloween Night

This is a tough holdiay to share with an ex that lives 35 minutes away so I am afraid next year we'll have to start taking turns :( But this year we tried to get some in. Maria did have a Halloween party here in Colchester with a friend so I was able to get some pictures of her all dressed up then :) Anyway! Matthew had a cold this halloween but despite that he was able to have fun! he was so cute all dressed up, wanting to be like Maria :) Maria just loved being scary this year :) First they went off to Daddy's and Nonna got them these really cute trick or treat bags from CA. They came back to us here at 7 so we did about 6 houses. Matthew was begging for more! But it was a school night and time for bed at a late hr of 8PM. Of coursethe one night I really wnat to walka dn take pics my hip was hurting from my pregnancy affected ligaments. I hobbled along but it did not afford me lots of great pics. Matthew is also getting really hard to photograph again. It is so hard to get him to look at me! I have sooo many pics of him looking sideways or down or even the back of his head. Of course tehy got lots of treats but only like a handful so we get the rest, yikes! After the night was done and succecssful we couldn't help but think next year we'll have one more added to the group :)
I just finished a midterm in one class this week, a test in the other, so the year seems to be winding down for one class and a few more things in the other. Next semester I have decided I could only handle one class with a newborn baby and my two big kids. I hope my grades are going well.
AS far as the divorce front I think Richard is finally taking me seriously and knowing that the collaborative process is over unless he negotiates fairly. Maybe I will see papers being served soon?
Baby boy is doing well. At our appt last Tuesday he measured 10 days ahead and looked nice and healthy. We decided to get the triple screen test done and should have results today :) WE were confirmed of boy status so we have bought a few baby clothes since I have nothing left from Matthew as a baby. We did a registry at Babies R US to keep ourselves organized of what we'll need for the little guy :) Todd's first so he had fun experiencing the zap a baby product! he feels badly that we registered for some big things we "need" but I reassured him that it was really just a list of things we can refer to when we're crazy without sleep and in disarray from a newborn lifestyle. Still can't believe I am having another one. I am finally starting to feel him kick, though still pretty subtle. Maria just can't wait to feel him!!
