Preggo pictures

Ok here are the pictures. Remember that I am only 14 weeks. (3 months) Most women don't get this big until they are 5 or 6 months.

In this one I am holding my shirt down so you can't see the bottom of my belly.

I guess the good news is that I haven't be very sick and I am still at or below my pre pregnancy weight.

Thanksgiving projects

The girls and I have been working on a few Thanksgiving decorations for our house. Aniela made her turkey out of a paper plate, paper and feathers. It turned out pretty cute.

Areya had to do a turkey for school and it will be displayed for parent teacher conference next week. Her turkey is a girl, notice the purple bow around it's neck.

Last of all are my projects which I made at cub scouts. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Happy Halloween

Ok I know I am a little late getting these posted but better late then never. This year the weather was pretty cold so the girls both had 3 layers under their costumes and then I still made them ware their winter coats.

Trick or Treating starts at 4 and goes until 7 here, and after we got that first group of kids at our door there was no stopping Areya. The houses in our neighborhood are pretty spaced out so a group puts their trailers on the back of their riding lawn mowers and drive the kids around and have a little parade. We were invited to join. The girls love riding on the tractor (mower) and it meant a lot less walking for them.

Areya was a Southern Bell

Aniela was my Little Lady Bug

Hope that everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin carving 2009

The girls and I had such a great time carving pumpkins. Aniela loved digging the guts out and it was so funny to see the faces Areya made while doing hers.

We also painted a few which the girls could not get enough of. If I wouldn't have stopped them each pumpkin would have close to 10 coats of paint each. We really missed having Tj & Shaylee over to carve pumpkins with. We miss you guys!

Baby #3

I finally made it to the doctor a few weeks ago. Here are the ultra sound pictures they took of our little peanut.

10 Weeks

Sorry Areya but it looks like there's just one baby in there. They said that I have a pretty large cyst on my left ovary and think it will go away on it's own. I have been feeling pretty good, not to much puking this time around. I did lose about 5 lbs but am quickly gaining it back. I guess I did pretty good figuring out my due date because it was right on May 17, 2010.

Right now I am 13 weeks and have my next doctor visit a week from today. I am a bit annoyed with this doctors office though. They are making me attend a class that teaches "The do's and don't of pregnancy". You would think after having a few I would be good to go and not need the class but I guess it is mandatory and they won't let me go to my next baby visit until I attend. The other part that bugs is that no husband/no kids are allowed so I have to find a babysitter for the girls.

Anyway, I forget how much growing a baby takes out of you. I can't seem to get enough sleep and I am way to moody. My poor girls (and probably Damian) are ready to trade me in for a new happy mommy. Don't worry guys only 6 1/2 more months to go.

I know they say that you show sooner with your second and third ones but I can't believe how big I'm getting already. People have started to notice my belly (and at this stage if they don't know your expecting then they think your packing on the pounds) and I have gotten a few comments. I'll let you know how my next appointment goes and I will try getting a few pictures of my baby bump to show all of you.

Jelly Belly Factory

Some friends of ours went to the Jelly Belly factory just over the boarder of Wisconsin and it looked like fun so we decided to try it out for ourselves. They offer free tours of the warehouse and show you how they make the beans along with the many other kinds of candy they make. It was amazing how much work goes into making the candy.

At one point you pass under these giant Jell Belly's hanging from the ceiling that are like 6 feet tall.

At the end of the tour they give you a sample bag and drop you of at the candy shop where they have a sample bar and ton and tons of candy for sale. The sample bar was neat, it gives you a chance to try any of the flavors you want before you buy them. They also had flavors like dog food, ear wax, diaper wipes and moldy cheese. Damian was brave enough to try the moldy cheese. He spit it out pretty quick after but he did give it a try. Here is the link if anyone is interestred. http://www.jellybelly.com/visit_jelly_belly/wisconsin_factory.aspx

This is the part of our take home loot. Damian got a little carried away.

On our way home we stopped and ate at Culver's. (Note to Utah readers: it is kind of like Warrens) The food was really good and they make their own custard which was really yummy!
