A Couple Halloween Pictures

Here's a couple pictures of our Halloween. I need to get the pictures of Carver in his costume off of Chris's iPhone so I'll post those once I figure out how to do that. :)

Carver was all excited to carve the pumpkin... but wouldn't touch the guts haha Chris wanted me to draw the sharpie lines back on so make it seem like he cut in the lines. He actually did pretty good!!

Monkey had to get in on the photo shoot!

Here's my bee costume for the MOMs group Halloween party the Saturday before Halloween. It's also a bump update picture. I'm 17wks in this picture.

I'm working on a 18wk update post that will go up tomorrow. I also have a bunch of old pictures (umm Labor day??) so that's one of my goals for this weekend.

Givng Thanks Day 3

Day 3: I am thankful for our church. I have made sooo many friends through our church. We love everything about our church but I have to say that I moved here and only knew Chris's family. So it has been a HUGE blessing to have found this church!

Givin Thanks Days 1 & 2

Last year I did something where I posted everyday in November about something I was thankful for. I'm going to do my best to do the same this year (yes I didn't post yesterday, oh well).

Day 1: I'm thankful for our health... even if it's for right now. Everyone around us has been getting sick and we're still waiting our turn.

Day 2: I'm thankful for fog. I think it's one of my favorite things about fall. It makes everything quiet and still.

Where has Carver been sleeping?

Here's the pictures of his crazy sleep habits from a couple weeks ago. He hasn't kinda out of this little phase but it's so adorable. :)

This was the first night


The next day for nap. We actually did this for 3-4 days until he let me rock him to sleep again.

16 Week Stats

Here's my stats for the week. I'll have some pictures of Carver up tomorrow. Promise!!

Symptoms: I feel uncomfortable some nights but that's about it

What's different this time: it's a lot easier!

Sleep: besides getting up to go to the bathroom, pretty good.

I am loving: actually having a recognizable bump

I miss: not too much. feeling pretty good

I am looking forward to: seeing if we can talk the OB into an ultrasound at our next appt

I'm spazzing about: not being able to bend down as much; not being able to rock Carver to sleep some nights

Best thing about this week: Chris definitely felt the baby tonight

Milestones: definite movements and Chris can feel the baby

Movement: see above

It's a...: well, my belly button is starting to poke out so I 'could' be carrying higher - meaning a girl... but I'm trying to not think about it.

Exercise: what's that? haha

Diet: whatever i can get in my mouth... current fav is greek yogurt YUM!!!

Other goals: Getting Carver to feel the baby :)

15 Week Stats

Before I get to the stats, I have to announce that Chris bought a Bobcat Excavator today. Well, technically, he bought it last week, but it was delivered today. Chris, and Carver, are in HEAVEN!! And on top of that, tomorrow is opening day of deer season. Let's just say that Chris has likened this weekend to Christmas. :)
