The Fraser Family: September and October 2014

September and October-- Wow! We had a lot of fun and we're jumping with joy, anticipating the arrival of Baby Fraser! As a family we enjoyed a lot of things..

*We went to the Upper Arlington Fall Festival. We enjoyed a hay ride, went down blow-up slides and Brynn and Mia got their faces painted!

*We were able to watch daddy play in a charity basketball game and meet the Buckeye Guy!

*We went as a family to an OSU football game. We knew this would be the last opportunity to be a family of 4. We wanted to make sure Brynn and Mia got to do something special before our Special Arrival decided to make their debut!

*We watched Simon and Garth run in the Columbus Marathon! Garth runs the marathon every year. Simon and Garth enjoy long runs together on Saturday mornings, but the furthest Simon ran was 14 miles. However, he woke up the morning of the Marathon and decided to surprise Garth and run it with him! The twins and I hopped on our bikes-- Me very large and pregnant :) and cheered them on! It was a wonderful experience! We are so proud of Si and Gizzy!

*We celebrated Halloween! Mia was a Unicorn and Brynn was a Ninja Turtle! We met up with friends to Trick-or-Treat! The kids had a blast! It was a great night but after a lot of walking I needed to put my feet up! I was all swollen! Thats what you get being almost 38 weeks pregnant!

Brynn:

*Enjoyed playing soccer! He enjoyed his hour practice/game on Saturdays! He was really good too. He was very good at running and kicking the ball! He even tried his luck being goalie, and did great!

Mia:

*Enjoyed playing soccer as well! She also did a wonderful job running down the field, kicking the ball and scoring goals!

*She had her 1st sleep over! I cannot believe this happened, but it did! She had a wonderful time with her friend Dillon and her sister Brogan!

*Mia and Simon are apart of Indian Princesses. Its a group of dads and daughters that get together and do different activities. This time they had a campout in cabins and did all sort of outdoor activities! Im not sure who has more fun-- the dads or the daughters!

WE SOLD OUR CONDO! After renting out our condo for the past 3 years, we were finally able to sell it! It feels so wonderful to finally not have that weight on our shoulders! Praise the Lord!

Mal and Baby Fraser:

*These months I am 29 weeks-38 weeks pregnant

*I am still loving my pregnancy and enjoying my growing belly

*I am going to the doctor every 2 weeks and then it changed to every week

*I had my cerclage removed

*My legs and feet are beginning to swell pretty bad :( I am only able to wear my birkenstocks!

*As I get closer to delivery, I am becoming more and more uncomfortable, however I feel extremely blessed that I was able to make it full term!

*By the time I reached 36 weeks, I would take warm baths to help relieve some of the pain and it helped tremendously!

*One of my best friends, Jamie, was 10 weeks behind me in her pregnancy so we were able to lean on each other for support, which I will always be thankful for :)
