29 weeks and counting...

So today I had my 29 week check up and all is well. The Dr. said that my weight and blood pressure are normal. I am now in the home stretch and will have to go every two weeks for my check ups. I will keep you up to date!

28 Weeks

So I have made it to my Third Trimester...WOOHOO!! I have an appointment next week so I will be sure to post back all the latest stats. I can tell Baby Jack is growing stronger and stronger everyday. He is a little fiesty one, I'm not sure where he gets that from. He loves to push down on my bladder especially when I'm out and there is not a bathroom around for miles. Fun Times!! Sleeping at night has become impossible and I still have 3 long months to go. If I'm not up 2-4 times a night using the restroom I'm tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. I promise I'm not complaining, I wouldn't trade this time in for the world.

Halloween 2008

Alex and I had a great Halloween weekend! We gained about 20 lbs in the process but it was well worth it. We were invited to our friends Traci and Jim's house for a little get together on Friday night. Traci is always such a gracious host and had a great spread of delicious hor'd'ourvs and Jim had Cuban Cigars for the guys.





Our friends Dan and Nicole had a "Costume if you dare" party at there house on Saturday night. Originally Alex and I weren't going to dress up but when I was out and about I found a perfect costume for Alex. I knew if I ended up buying it I could talk Alex into it and sure enough I did and he got into character. As we were driving over to Dan and Nicoles we started thinking what if we are the only ones dressed up...luckily we weren't.
