Doctor Appointment and Silly Emma!!

I went to the doctor today for my 29 week check-up. All is well. I am measuring a week larger. But, I don't have diabetes, high blood pressure or anemia. Good news! I have been so afraid that I was gonna have one or all of these issues. And so far I have gained...30 pounds! How disgusting is that?! I am so afraid that little Spencer is going to be a huge beast of a baby! Emma weighed 9lbs 2 oz, and the doctor said that boys are typically bigger than girls! So, please pray that he doesn't weigh more than Emma did!!

And about Emma...

She has this purse that my mom gave her. And the past week she has started putting in on her shoulder and walking around saying, "Bye-Bye." And waving to me. It is so cute!! She also has started saying I see you! She will peek her little head around the corner and say, "I see you." She also talks on anything that resembles a phone at all. This includes calculators!! I love the cute little things that she does and catches on to. I guess I better make sure I don't do anything I don't want her to do!!

Trunk or Treating and Pumpkin Carving!!

Happy Halloween! Man was it a HOT one! This was the hottest Halloween I can think of. And of course all of us had costumes that covered our entire bodies!

Well, we went to our ward's trunk or treat . It was pretty fun. There was a BBQ and games for the kids. And Shaun won funniest costume in the adult costume contest. After that was the trunk or treating. Shaun took Emma around while I passed out candy. It took a while for her to get around once. But, she was content sucking on a Butterfinger. She was so adorable in her monkey costume. I couldn't take many pictures, since she wouldn't stay still for one second. Oh, and in case you can't tell what Shaun and I are. He was a monster and I was a CareBear.

On Thursday we went to Shaun's Aunt Erin's house to carve pumpkins with the family. And I found out that with this pregnancy the smell of pumpkin guts makes me wanna puke. But, eventually I carved a little pumpkin. And Shaun carved a big one and made it eating a small one. We had lots of fun and got to hang out with family. I love Halloween!!

Shaun's B-day Party and More..

Yesterday Shaun's dad, Kevin, had a belated birthday party for him. It was fun. We got to just sit and talk and of course eat! We had yummy steaks and baked pototoes. Shaun's step-mother decided to make him a redneck birthday cake. (Pictures below, if you have never seen one) It was very interesting! And I made some Halloween treats for us to eat also. (Also pictured below) I saw the recipe in a parenting magazine that I got this week. They are Rice-Krispie Frankenstein heads. So cute!

Also this weekend we went and bought Emma a potty seat. I know she's not quite ready yet (16 1/2 months), but we wanted to get her familiar with the seat. Well, we tried to put her on it and she screamed her head off! For some reason she is deathly afraid of this potty! Now we just have it sitting around so that she can investigate it herself. And get over her fear of it. Poor baby!!

My Little Person

I've been noticing lately how big my baby is getting. She is turning into a "person" so fast. She likes to help put the dishes away, do the laundry and just wants to do everything herself. She even cleans up after herself and blows her own nose! She is getting to be so independent. She only wants me to help if she has tried to do something herself a million times, and can't. I just love her little personality and her little attitude. My baby is growing up so fast!

The Fair

We went to the fair last Tuesday. It was so much fun, but very tiring! We went around 5 pm and the weather was perfect! There also wasn't very many people there, which was really nice. We went with my sister-in-law Sarah and her daughter Charlotte.

Emma loved to eat the greasy fair food. She had piggly wiggly fries, a navajo taco, a sno cone, funnel cake and a corn dog. I think her favorite was the funnel cake. She played in the Safari zone, which grossed me out. But, she had so much fun tumbling around on the mats. Then, she pet the animals in the petting zoo and played in a maze made of hay. It was a good time. Too much walking though. I felt like I was was going to die when we finally left around 10:30.

Our Baby Boy!

Well, it's been a long time since I have blogged. A lot has happened in the last few months. But, the biggest thing is that we found out that we are having a baby boy! We were both shocked. We totally thought that it was going to be another girl. Here is the most recent ultrasound picture, from today actually. They said that he looks perfect and big. He already weighs a pound and a half. And I'm 23 weeks.

Emma is ONE!!!

Emma turned one on May 30th. I can't believe that it's already been a year! We had a party for her on the 31st. I was so stressed out about it for weeks, but it ended up going really good. The cake was adorable, there was a good turn out, and tons of gifts. I was worried about the blend of families. But, everyone mingled and that made me happy. Emma wasn't so sure about eating her cake at first. When she got it on her hands she started to cry, but then she got in to it. I had to give her a bath afterward. The party was a success and I'm glad it's over
