so, halloween. this is the first year that we've actually done anything for halloween with abby, so we were pretty curious to see how it would go. over the past week or so, she's had some weird reactions to halloween stuff, so i was a little apprehensive, but it actually has gone really well. this morning we went to the halloween storytime at borders with costume and all, and she LOVED it. her favorite part of it was the costume parade through the store. then tonight we went trick-or-treating with auntie bunna and her family, and she loved that too. in fact, she was pretty wound up about the whole thing. at first she wouldn't say "trick or treat" or "thank you", but she got used to it pretty quickly. the only issue we had was that she would get her candy and then either reach in and try to get more, or just wait for the person to give her more. you could almost hear her, "um, there seems to be a mistake. you see, you only gave me one piece of candy, and there is obviously supposed to be more. i'll just wait here while you rectify the situation." as you can see by the picture, she went as little bo peep. pretty darn cute, eh? :)

this morning we also had my weekly doctor's appointment. progress has been made...i'm at a 2 now. still nothing major, but progress nonetheless. my doctor doesn't think anything's happening this week, and i'm pretty inclined to agree. it's just as well, though, since i'm under orders from various people to not have the baby before monday. and my hips are much better lately, so i'm not in such a hurry to get this over and done with.

random abby weirdness: after her rest time today, she sat on the potty as usual, and then brought me her panties to put them back on, and she said, "these are my parachute panties!" not sure what's up with the mc hammer reference there.
