Halloween!

This year was Sean's first year trick or treating.
It was quite a success I would say and fun for all of us. The weather even cooperated. How rarely does that happen?

I am not typically a Halloween person but this year was quite fun. Though next year I won't buy so much candy for trick or treaters because I can still use both hands to count who showed up. Fun fun!

Here are the pictures of all our fun!

My little Minion

Peek a boo! New favorite game

Walking with Dad to get some goodies

Home with all the goodies

His haul! The juice box was his favorite I think. My Juice Monster!

This and that and life (picture overload!)

Well get ready for a blog post coming soon on our basement!! :) but alas that is not this post. 

This post is just about how much I'm loving life right now. We're healthy and happy and loving this fall weather. I mean seriously this is AMAZING! Love it. 

Sean and I have gotten into a good routine now and have found some awesome play groups to attend that keep us busy and meeting new people. 

Monday we have a fitness group. I have stopped going though just because my body's done with the intenseness of it but it was fun to go and work out with other moms who had their kids with them.

Tuesday there is a roving gym up town that had new and fun toys. And it's laid back enough I get to visit with other moms. 

Wednesday is a day off

Thursday is time for rhymes at the library. Singing songs and reading stories. 

Friday is another play group and by far my favorite because the kids run crazy and us moms just visit. It's wonderful. 

It's great to be meeting people and even for Sean to be around kids. Even if he does just play by himself. We're workin on it. 

Pictures!

Helping me cook. Okay just playing with my oven mitts

Dragging my purse around and heading out the door. 

Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving time!!!

And pumpkin seeds that's what it's all about!!! 

Sean had a good time. I think. He wasn't so sure about all the pumpkin guts at first but started touching it after a while. Didn't hate it but didn't love it. I'm going to buy another pumpkin. Just for the seeds!! 

21weeks

I can't get over how much this child likes to move! Mostly around the evening. Probably hears all the fun from Dan and Sean horsing around! He's going be so full of energy like Sean! 

I guess according to the ultrasound I'd be 22 weeks but I'm just forgetting that cause let's face it Sean was a tank too. Guaranteed all my kids will measure big, yay for me. 

How far along? 21 weeks

Maternity Clothes? I've decided to be comfortable this time around so I'm in my mat clothes and loving it! 

Good moment? Thanksgiving! My biggest craving finally satisfied!!! 

Not so good moment this week? Sneezing and peeing myself at the park. :)
Miss anything? Mmmm not really. Laying on my back without my hips going numb. 

Movement? He's a gymnast this week so far that's for sure.  

Gender? A boy. :) 

Food Cravings? Banana bread, chocolate, fruit, more chocolate. And fruit loops. :)

Anything make you queasy or sick? Waiting to long to eat. 

Emotions? Pretty good I'd say

Looking forward too? Meeting my obstetrician and seeing how I like her. 

This is all I can think of now. 

The Boys take the lead!

Though I am already outnumbered by boys in my house I am so totally prepared to be adding another little boy to the mix! How fun it is going to be! Sean is still convinced it's a monkey. And if he takes after his brother this little one is bound to be a monkey!

We had the ultrasound a week ago and since we've had a child before we kinda knew what we were looking for, especially since they don't tell you gender at the clinic! I had to call my doctor! oh well.

Daniel and I were pretty sure we saw the goods during the ultrasound but I was doubting. I was hoping for another little son and didn't want to get my hopes up!

I feel so blessed to be having another little baby and so close to Sean so they can be the best and worst of friends. :)

cute little profile! When we saw his mouth and nose he looked so much like Sean and Dan. I can't wait to meet him and see!

So I wanted to try something cool for the "gender reveal" Lets face it. Pinterest always does it better. It was still fun though!

YAY for little Boys!

How 'bout... CUPCAKES?!?!?!?!

So as some of you may know or have heard I have been craving chocolate like crazy!!! It's just borderline ridiculous! (Let's be honest though. I'm always wanting chocolate. Even when not developing a little human.) 

I've managed to push this craving off and ignore it. 

But the last week it's just been so strong! 

(Before ya start gender guessing this happened with Sean boy too. We'll know soon enough!)

So, after dinner tonight Sean was being a cranky pants. He just didn't want to play anything. So I convinced him to make cupcakes with me! 

It was pretty easy. All I said was "cupcakes?" And he responded with a smile and kuh-kake. Done deal. 

So away we went. We both had a blast. Him probably more than me. But at least I can stuff my face with chocolate for the next few days!!

This kid definately needed a bath after this!!! 

Yum!!!! 

**for reference to the title YouTube it. It's an AFV video. My favorite!**

17 weeks

I guess I haven't posted much on this pregnancy besides saying we're pregnant!! 

It's been going good. I love it now that am passed weeks 6-12.

Those were the worst. I got pretty nauseous and I couldn't make it through the day without napping! Luckily Sean still naps for 2 1/2 hours is so I got a good rest everyday! 

But I have energy once again so much so I've been able to help out again downstairs with the basement! (We're almost done!!!) Sean keeps me on my toes now that he decided a to run everywhere and run away when he wants. This will be interesting in a few more months when I have to waddle behind. Oh joy! 

I've started to feel baby move here and there in the last week or so. I'm excited for when he/she actually gets moving! 

I'm also excited for finding out the gender in a few weeks! I'm super excited to know whether it's a boy or girl. I don't really have a Preference. Just a healthy chunky baby again please! And I wouldn't complain if my body didn't give out either! :) 

Well that's all I have for now! 

Here's the bump at 16 weeks!
