24 and 25 weeks!

She's growing like a weed, folks! She is squirmy and kicks me all the day long. I love it! I still feel pretty good though heartburn has kicked in a bit which lets me know she is pushing up on my stomach now. I love that I have such a long torso, I feel like she still has some room to grow!

24 weeks:

25 weeks:

I have been keeping myself incredibly busy with projects for this new bundle of joy. I am making pictures to hang on her walls, things to hang from the ceiling, hair bows, scrapbooking, the list goes on and on! I am doing so much now so that when she comes things can be slightly less nuts. Oh, and things are expensive to pay someone else to do them...so I am all about DIY as much as possible!! Hopefully I can post some of my creations soon! She will be the cutest little girl around :-) Love you all! God bless!

23 weeks and my reunion!

Hey there! I know I have gotten behind on blogging updated pics of me, but I have been nusy with so many projects for baby girl!

October 6th Brad and I went to my 10 year high school reunion! It was fun seeing some old friends, though I do believe Facebook has ruined reunions a bit. You already know what everyone looks like and what they are doing with their lives! Brad was such a trooper to come with me; I wont make him go next time!

So here are my 23 week pictures and high school reunion pics!

Pumpkin Patch!

Hello friends and family! We have had a wonderful fall so far with lots of fun activities. Brad took a day off from work recently so we could all go to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun!

They had a really cool petting zoo with baby ducks, llamas, horses, ponies, goats, and a gigantic surprise you'll see soon!

We bought a big bucket of food because Braeden was all about feeding the animals. I am glad we got alot!

Surprise! A GIGANTIC long horn! I wish you guys could have seen how long its tongue was. I was trying to get a good picture of it scooping food out of the bucket with its massive tongue but the pics dont do it justice.

We took a fun hayride over to this big slide they have. We were on the only ones on the hayride! Lots of advantages to going on a Monday instead of a Saturday!

The boys had fun sliding! Braeden especially enjoyed pushing Brad down it.

Braeden got a pony ride too! He had lots of fun.

And no trip to the pumpkin patch would be complete without going home with our very own pumpkins!

We had an awesome (and exhausting) day! Cant wait to do it again next year when baby girl is here :)

Love you all!

Day Out with Thomas

We took Braeden to a "Day Out with Thomas" as a family last week. Braeden earned a train ride on Thomas too! He was so excited! This event is great; train tables, bounce house, temporary tattoos, food. We had a wonderful family day!

Cuddling on the train!

New Bed

In preparation of new baby sister, Braeden needed to give up his crib/toddler bed. So now he has a new "big boy" twin bed! He doesn't look happy in any of these pictures because he wasn't thrilled with getting a new bed...we told him starting a few months ago that when he got a new bed, Kiki (aka, thumb sucking blanket) was leaving. So, he knew when he saw this new bed Kiki was gone :-/ We have a had a rough week so far. He isn't sleeping well. But it seems to be getting better each day and I think the thumb sucking is getting less and less at night!!

He looks so small in his big bed!

Daddy and son had a fun bonding experience building a fire truck at Lowe's recently! This was the first build-and-grow we have done with Braeden that he really enjoyed and was patient enough for us to finish :-)

Sweet daddy hugs:

I have a new fire truck!

Family Night at the zoo

We had an awesome night recently when the zoo hosted a Family Night! It's so rare we get to go to the zoo all together so we jumped at the chance 2 Fridays ago. Bonus: all the rides were free! Braeden is always asking to ride the train and we got to!

TRAIN RIDE!

Crazy eyes on the carousel:

We sure loved having daddy there :-)
