Merry Christmas!!

2 more days of work then I get 11 straight days off!!!! I can't wait. We finished our last little bit of shopping this weekend and everything is now wrapped and under the tree. We don't have Trestin for christmas this year, we get her back the day after, so Santa has already put everything under the tree. We did come home from dinner tonight to a nice little suprise. One of the dogs decided to open their present early.

I was sick a couple days last week with a stomach bug. The doctor had me come in on Thursday to make sure everything was ok with the baby and it was really just a virus. They did a non-stress test, which was kinda fun. You just sit there for 20 min with a monitor around your stomach and listen to the heartbeat. You could even hear when he kicked.

We finally registred for baby stuff. We were like the blind leading the blind trying to figure out what to register for.

We've also changed our minds on the name. It's no long Brett Anthony and is now Brett Maverick.

Update

I had another dr. apt this week and everything is still good. The holiday's aren't helping out in the weight gain area though. My next apt is Jan 6, then I start going every 2 weeks. It's amazing how fast the time is going. March is probably going to be the slowest month ever though.

Thanksgiving was good. We went to my parents for the day as usual. Lots of food and games. Paula and Richard announced their engagement so there is another wedding to plan for next October.

We cut down and put up our tree last week also. It's rather large, about 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide.

23 weeks and 4 days

It's a...........

BOY!!!! I'll post ultrasound pictures as soon as I can find someone to scan them in. There's no good picture of his face though because he was using the placenta as a pillow. Everything looks good and is where it should be so that's good.

Halloween and belly pics

Halloween was a lot of fun. We went trick-or-treating then had a bonfire. Trestin was a Monster Bride. Saturday I went to Steve and Janes baby shower at the Sandefurs.

We find out Tuesday what the baby is. Then we are meeting with a potential baby sitter. I'll definately update everyone Tuesday!

18 weeks and 4 days

Vacation update

Vacation was good. We left Wednesday afternoon and got to PA around 9:30pm.

Thursday we hung out with Scott's sister and took the kids to a big play place.

Friday we went to a pumkin patch, but the hay rides/pumkin patch were only open for groups with reservations during the week. We were able to walk in the corn maze and the kids played in the big play area so it was still ok. We then had lunch at Fuddruckers, we need these in Indiana because it is amazing. You order a hamburger with some specialty toppings such as cheese, bacon, guacamole and then there is a topping bar with anything you can think of to put on a hamburger. And you get a cookie!!!!

Friday night Scott went out to the bar with his brother, sister, and her husband. I didn't go because I didn't want to be around the smoke so I helped babysit the Trestin, Joyce, and the twin boys.

Saturday we went to Gettysburg and of course it was raining. We went to the Boyd's Bear place then left since it was suppose to rain all day. We all went to lunch then we decided to head home rather than wait to leave early in the mornging. We got home around 3:30am Sunday.

Last night we carved pumkins so i'll leave you with vacation pictures and pumkins.

Leavin' on a jet plane, don't know when i'll be back again

1 more day of work then on Wednesday we are off to Pennsylvania to visit Scott's family. Should be a fun trip. We went this time last year and it is very pretty out there with the leaves changing. I'll update with pictures when we return.

Otherwise not much else has been going on. Baby still doing good. Haven't felt anything yet, but hopefully I will soon. Baby shower date is set for Feb 7th, I think, so make sure I have your address!!

Here's a picture of me at 15 weeks and 4 days. I'm starting to show a little, but that's probably mostly from the 6 lbs I've gained than from actual baby poking out.

Baby update

I had my Dr. apointment today and everything is going good. I've gained about 6 lbs and the heartbeat was ~150 bpm. The big ultrasound is November 6th!!!

This past Sunday we went to the Children's Museum with my dad's work. They rent out the museum and haunted house and have a bunch of food, it's great fun.

This coming Sunday Kim, my dad, and I are going to the Colt's game. My dad got suite tickets so i'm super excited. More free food (which is my favorite thing right now because i'm always hungry)!!!
