Thanksgiving in Indy

This year we had an attempt at a low key Thanksgiving!  Being 33 weeks pregnant, low key sounds great!! We decided to stay home and anyone that wanted to join us was welcome. My family decided to make the trip out for the day.  I decided to prep some the day before to make a little less work on the day of.  It all sounded like a great idea...until I started peeling potatoes with my new peeler and took a chunk out of my finger!!!  Leave it to me to injure myself!  I think it was a blessing in disguise because Mark had to help with the cooking.  He did such a great job!  I helped with the sides and he did the turkey and made the mashed potatoes.  He did the vegetable chopping too.  I felt like a chef on TV because I got to dump ingredients together and cook them.  I basically got to do the fun part!  We had such a great day spend time together as a family.

Since its the season to be thankful, I want to brag on my husband a little.  I am so thankful for him!!  He did such an awesome job with helping cook and never complained one time!  He has been helping out so much with the boys lately and letting me rest when I am tired!!  I love him so much and am so thankful that I get to to spend my life with him.  He is so patient with me and knows me so well.  Thanks for everything that you do Mark!!!  I love you so much!

Trick-or-Treat

This year Andrew made the decision that the boys would be ninja turtles.  I am sure everyone knows that Andrew is obsessed with ninja turtles.  I didn't love the idea at first, but they did look so cute in their costumes!!  I am such a sucker for coordinating costumes.  We actually had all four turtles between our boys and our neighbors.  We tried for a picture of all four, but the kids had different plans.

The turtles

The weather on Halloween was awful.  It was actually snowing about 30 minutes before trick-or-treat started.  It was so windy and freezing cold.  We still went out for a few houses,  We had our friends, The O'Learys, over to trick-or-treat with us.  I am sure you have seen their little guy, Patrick, in previous blog posts.  We brought Lucas and Patrick back inside, and Andrew did some more trick-or-treating with Daddy and our neighbor Asher.  Once we got back we really didn't have a ton of trick-or-treaters.  We ended up with so much left over candy, which is bad news for this pregnant mama!!  I am so sick of candy now!!  I am pretty sure everyone still had fun even though the trick-or-treating was short lived.

28 Weeks

Hello 3rd trimester!!!  We are getting closer to meeting our new little addition and I am so excited!  We still have so much to do, so we need everyday between now and 1/13/15 to get everything ready!  Here are a few pictures of all 3 baby bumps at 28 weeks!!  I even wore the same shirt for the most recent 2 :)

Baby #3

This one is a throw back in my old Buckle clothes probably after a long day of slinging jeans!! The fact that I have normal jeans on in this picture is a miracle!! 

Size of Baby and Mama: Baby is supposed to be the size of a large eggplant.  The baby should be around 2 1/4 pounds and about 15 inches long!!  I have gained 23 lbs.  I am still measuring ahead by 3 weeks at my 28 week appointment.  The Dr thinks that the baby is tall and skinny, which is exactly what she said about Lucas.

Gender/Names: No updates here.  We still have the same list of names.  I did buy one more girl outfit last week, so if we do have a girl she has 3 outfits :)

Movement: This baby has been doing a lot of crazy movement.  The movement is slowing down a little but I still feel like the baby changes positions everyday.  Not sure if he or she is head down or up.

Sleep: Sleep isn't the greatest and I am not even that big yet.  The other night I woke up on my belly and that was a little painful.

What I miss: Eating without getting heartburn and bending over comfortably!

Cravings: I think I have officially moved to sweets.  Especially chocolate chip cookies and the lofthouse sugar cookies with icing!!
