19 Weeks

It’s a GIRL!  We found out this week that we are having a sweet little girl.  We are BOTH very excited!  Now that morning sickness finally ended maybe I can start enjoying this pregnancy some.  I had a hard pregnancy last time because I was having twins so I am hoping this time will be easier!  She is measuring 6 days bigger than my due date that they have set, but right on schedule for what I had figured up for my due date.  They are wrong but since it isn’t off by 2 weeks they won’t or can’t change it.  Hopefully they won’t plan for me to have her at 40 weeks because that means it will really be 41 weeks. YIKES!  She is about 10 oz. and around 6 inches head to rump.   We dread picking out names because it’s going to be hard to agree on anything, a lot harder than having twin boys the first time!

Here is a picture of my growing belly that’s getting bigger by the minute!

Santa’s Workshop 2011

Well, we survived Santa’s Workshop this year.  We didn’t kill ourselves like last year either.  It was hard in a different way because I was pregnant but I definitely got more sleep.  It was long and exhausting but it’s something we enjoy doing together.  I should clarify, that’s me and Rebekah, not me and Ian. 

We had a horrible spot last year but was very excited to see that we had a fantastic spot this year.  It definitely paid off, we did much better this year!

Hoe Down 2011

Our church has a hoe down every year.  We always love to go, even before we had kids.  We love that there is a chili contest and a dessert contest. I don’t always participate, but I love trying different kinds of chili.  This year my brother in law Sean joined us and of course Ty & Micah loved that.  They love their uncle Sean! This year they were too active to hang out with mom, especially when daddy and uncle Sean would play them.  It gave me a chance to catch up with friends though.

They also have a costume contest.  Ty dressed as buzz, Micah as woody.

Yes, Micah held his hat pretty much every time he had it on.

Carving Pumpkins

I think I said a few posts ago how behind I was on blogs because my laptop has been broken.  This has to prove it! This is before Halloween.  We get together every year with our dear friends Beau and Shelly to carve pumpkins.  It’s tradition!  This year I did a more kid friendly theme since I have 2 boys that LOVE Elmo.

Visiting With The Family

We don’t get to see my brother and his family very much so I was excited to know they were coming to town!  I was sad however when Ty got sick a few days before and it looked like I was going to have to miss.  Rebekah was even coming with Dexter!  My wonderful husband decided to let me go and he stayed home with our babies.  I was sad they couldn’t join the fun but I was glad to be with both siblings again! 

I was so happy to see baby Isaac too! He. Is. Precious. No others words can describe him.  He was so pleasant and happy the whole time! I love every opportunity to get to see my nephews:)

Thanksgiving 2011

It was so nice to get out of the house a bit and visit with family.  We had such a good time as usual.  I had doctors orders to take it easy all weekend so I actually felt pretty lazy! It was nice:) 

The food was excellent, the fellowship wonderful!  It was nice to have Ian home for several days too. 

At 11pm Rebekah and I ventured out into the crazy masses to do  some Black Friday shopping.  I have never seen such a line! It was insane!  For as crowded at it was the people didn’t seem too crazy though. I barely saw any running, I definitely didn’t see any pushing, and the only arguing I saw was when they were letting people in the store about 10 or so people around us tried to sneak into the line.  The girl behind us still handled it pretty well.  She told them it wasn’t fair that they just cut line after we had been standing for so long and they needed to go to the back of the line.  They ignored her of course.  She then threatened to make a scene and somehow they ended up leaving. I am not sure if it was because of her threats or because security pulled them out of line. I missed it because the line was moving the whole time and people were cutting a little in front of us so I had to watch that action too.  Don’t worry though. The lady in front of us told security and they pulled those people out also.   We got our few buys then headed for checkout.  The checkout line was like 45 minutes also.  Crazy!  It was fun though. I always enjoy going with Rebekah.  I was ready to be back home though! We left the house at almost 11 and got back home around 1:30am.  Not too bad!  I was ready to be back though.  Black Friday shopping and pregnancy didn’t go well together for me!  At least we didn’t go to Wal-mart!

 

*My live writer has changed so hopefully I can figure out how to make the photo bigger once I have time to look at it for a bit.

I’m Back!!!

Hopefully…. My computer has been broken for awhile now.  It seems to be working again.  A lot has happened during my time off and I hope to be able to blog about some of it.   Look for me soon!!!
