Halloween!

Can you believe that October has already come and gone?!! I can't believe that today is November 1st!! Where does time go?
Well we had a pretty busy Halloween - on Thursday Will had his class Halloween party, and on Thursday night was the Maier's 4th Annual Costume/Pumpkin Carving Party. Then on Halloween night we headed over to our church for some Trunk or Treat.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Trunk or Treat, the church has people sign up to donate the back of their trunks. You decorate the back, and the church gives you the candy to pass out to the kids. I think this is a great idea, b/c everyone is in one location, and the area where the trunks are is blocked off. It's amazing to see what kinds of cool things people do with their trunks.

Halloween was tons of fun this year!

Baby Jacob Update-
Only 9 days left...HOWEVER!, at my appointment this past Tuesday, we found out that I am almost 3 centimeters dilated, 70% effaced, and baby is engaged (head is in the birth canal). I am actually a bit shocked that he isn't here yet - Will was 10 days early, and I was hoping that Jacob would follow the same pattern of being early...but that's ok!!
My doctor told me that b/c I started dilating so early, he would not let me go past my due date. So with that being said, he told me that if I am definitely past 3 centimeters at my appointment on Wednesday, I can pick a day that week to be induced. So we decided that if that's the case, let's just get induced on Wednesday. My body has already started the birthing process, and Jacob is fully developed and ready to go, so bring on the baby!
Love,
Sher
