Poor Puppy

We find it funny to make our dog do things he doesn't want to do. Can you see the fear in his eyes in the airplane pic? Poor puppy...he doesn't even know his parents are weird cuz it's his normal!

30 Weeks

Holy cow! I can't believe it but I'm 30 weeks along! Everything is going well. He is still very active in there. It is fun to feel him kick (except when he kicks my bladder :)) Tyler has felt and seen him kick several times. Our friends Jordan and Lizz were at our house last weekend and also got to feel him kick some when he got excited! I am so blessed because my pregnancy has been fairly easy and I thank God each day for that! The nursery is coming along slowly but surely so hopefully we will have some pictures soon!

Pumpkin Carving



Ty saw a pumpkin that inspired him to carve a cool pumpkin of his own. Here are some pictures of the master at work.

My Nightmare

Yesterday I was sweeping our three seasons porch. I just had opened our glass door (leading outside) so I could sweep the pesky leaves outside where they belong, when I heard a loud thud and turned around to see a bird on the floor (within feet of me!!) The bird had flown into the opened glass door and stunned/hurt itself. (For those of you who don't know...I have a strange/embarrassing fear of birds...I think it is the flapping motion!) So, of course, I ran inside screaming and instantly called Tyler. He assured me I would be fine and I just needed to push it the 6 inches outside with a broom. Okay...I can do this! I armed myself with a broom and a tied hooded sweatshirt (to protect my hair from being attacked which was inevitably what was going to happen the instant I touched the thing!) After a long stare down, I lost my nerve and called Ty again. I started freaking out and tearing up slightly so Tyler told me to leave the bird and he would deal with it when he got home. God answered my prayers because when I got home from running some errands, the bird was gone! Yay! My fears were realized that day but I live to tell you about it (only by the grace of God!)

Ultrasound

 

We had our appointment last Friday and everything was awesome! My placenta is just fine and they decided not to change the due date so we are still on for January 7th! We got to see the little guy again. He is weighing in at 2 pounds and his feet measured 2 inches. He was nestled in there like a little "U" which doesn't seem very comfortable :) I've attached some pictures of Baby Fred (our ultrasound tech was nice enough to include a couple 3D pictures!)



 

 

 

This is the 3D picture...isn't he cute?!

Here's a good pic showing his uncomfortable position

Here's a picture showing his heart and heartbeat

27 Weeks

I am now at 27 weeks and feeling great! I will have another ultrasound on Friday because the last one showed my placenta as being low. Apparently it is a very common thing and usually corrects itself, so please pray that is the case with me also! I am excited to see Baby Fred again (especially if everything ends up being ok!) He was so handsome last time :)

Fred Fall Family Fun



Tyler, Buddy and I bagged some of the many leaves littering our yard. I know we will have to do it again later, but the yard looks much better for now! This dry summer has made for a really easy, less messy fall leaf clean up!

Cutie patootie!

That's me and Baby Fred in the pile of leaves!

12 bags of leaves later...



The Boys

Just another Saturday for the boys!
