Halloween Fun

I know that is isn't Halloween quite yet, but this weekend we carved pumpkins with our fun friends the Fishers. It was lots of fun! We stole Bri's cute idea to make a baby pumpkin too for Kate. So Jon and I made ourselves and baby Kate in the future (I am angry, Jon is nerdy, and Kate is cute but crying). Here we are hard at work. (Please ignore all the boxes, it is the furniture for Kate's room, she just doesn't have a room yet!)

For some reason Chance decided that he loves to eat pumpkin. He would run around the table from person to person trying to steal pieces of pumpkin or when someone left their chair, he would just jump up and lick the entire pumpkin. Something isn't right in his little brain!

Owen and Bri hard at work!

Thanks to the Fishers for letting us crash their pumpkin carving night! It was great to get our hands dirty. Plus, stabbing something with a knife is always good... no matter what is going on in your life!

PS: today is my big 23rd birthday! I cant believe how old that sounds! And tomorrow I get my new cell phone!! I cant wait! yay for birthdays!

31 Weeks!!

So I realize that technically I am posting this post while I am still 30 weeks, but in less than 2 hours I will officially be in my 31st week of pregnancy! Oh how good that sounds! Less than 10 weeks from now I will be a MOM! Mom is a scary word don't you think? On one hand it is a beautiful, fun, exciting word; but on the other it is scary, messy, and challenging. But I can't wait to find out for myself how it feels to be a mom!

Ok so to my real point in posting, I got a new camera tonight (Happy early birthday to me!) and I had Jon take a picture of my pregnant belly just for fun! So don't make fun, it isn't beautiful, but then again what pregnant belly is? But here it is folks, almost 31 weeks of a baby balled up inside me:

Baby Worries...

So today I went to the good ol' Doctor again. The appointment started off normal, sit in the waiting room reading parenting magazines, then my fav part, the urine sample (NOT!). shortly after that things actually got kinda scary. I was weighed, and lost 2 pounds this month! I am STILL under my pre-pregnancy weight and the doctor decided that she was worried. So she ordered an ultrasound right then and said she just wanted to be sure my baby was growing. She then explained that she would be more worried if I was having pain in my ribs on the right hand side... and of course I have. She then decided that since we dont know if it is baby pain or gallbladder problems she ordered lab tests to be run just in case. At this point I started to really stress...(as if I don't have enough on my mind right now!) The ultrasound however gave us some really good news. When the nurse showed the doctor the results, she turned to me with a confused look on her face and asked "how are you doing that?! your baby is in the 9Oth percentile and weighs over 4 pounds already." I told her my only theory was cheesburgers. lol.

So as long as the lab results come back with no bad news, I am apparently doing great at being pregnant. Somehow I am growing a big baby and not gaining any weight. If only I could stop throwing up.... I think I would rather have baby weight to lose after giving birth than be this miserable.

But on the plus side, I got to she Kate's cute face today, and again the nurse confirmed it was a girl. So hopefully with 3 ultrasounds all saying girl that is what she will be... cause I will have lots of pink and purple to return if she comes out a he!

Oh and someday soon I will post a picture of my belly. Sadly my camera won't turn on for some stupid reason, so I have to wait for Jon to bring his work camera home. But you can really tell I have a baby in there!
