Pies

I just ordered some very yummy pies for this years Thanksgiving feast!

2 Homestyle-Apple
2 Pumpkin
1 Pecan
1 Wildberry
1 Chocolate-French Silk
1 Lemon-Meringue

Now all we need is some ice-cream. :)

It's going to be one very fun party. I can't wait for everyone to come.

Hurry! -Come Faster so we can all have some pie. :)

Prego

Aaron likes to call me "Prego." And whenever he does it makes me think of the spagetti sauce.

Now, that my belly is getting rounder he seems to be calling me "Prego" a lot more often. Caleb is also kicking a lot more often. And often times we can tell where he is at by the hard spot in my tummy. -I think Aaron likes being able to tell he is there by poking him. :)

Yesturday, we got some more things done in Caleb's room. Like hanging shelfs and arranging furniture. We still are waiting on getting our changing table -since it is out of stock right now, but overall I think we are pretty organized.

Plus, we got some more Christmas decorations out. And Aaron helped me clean the pantry -not his favorite project for the day, but I couldn't have done it without him.

Oh, and I almost forgot ... we played a game of Scrable and I almost, very nearly beat him. It was a very close round. And it's always good to keep things competitive. :)

Oh Christmas Tree!

When I came home from my buisness trip to Salt Lake Aaron had suprised me and set up the Christmas tree! I have been excited about decorating and finally got my opportunity last night while Aaron was playing WOW.

I still have Christmas dishes to organize and other odds and ends. But the tree is beautiful and I got my nativities up. The main one is pictured.

Also, last week I wrapped a few gifts. I think maybe we should let Abby open hers at Thanksgiving time -but she'll have to ask her Mom and Dad. :)

Plus, I have one ornament that I think I need Mom's help hanging up. -One of those Mom and daughter kind of things. :)

Can't wait to see everyone in a couple of weeks.

80 Days and Counting

So, it's fun to have a count down for how long until Caleb's due date. -Speaking of he just kicked me. Anyhow, as I was saying ... it's fun but sometimes 80 days seems like so many.

Aaron was perdicting that maybe, just maybe he may come sooner than Feb. 1st. Possibly sometime in January. Because technically, Caleb would be considered "full term" anywhere from about the 15th of January on. So, he would be healthy and ready and maybe, just maybe he might want to meet us as soon as possible. :)

Anyhow, we will just have to wait and see.

Aaron, Caleb and I's Dr. Visit

Today Aaron, Caleb and I went to the Dr. for my gestational diabetes test. They gave me this funny drink (kind of like non carbonated 7-up) and then later took my blood (not fun - I cried). I passed the test so we are good, but about 10-15 minutes after I had the drink Caleb started freaking out like he was doing a million jumping jacks. -Note to self: if Caleb's not moving enough try drinking 7-up to give him a sugar-high. :)

Anyhow, it was kind of a funny experience. I don't know why I started crying after they took my blood -it's not like it hurt. I think I was just so nervous. And the nurse kept trying to get me to talk, --which perhaps helps some people not think about what's going on, but unfortunately doesn't work for me. I am just glad Aaron was there. And, that he still loves me even though I am such a cry-baby. We did get a good laugh out of it though. :)

The Doughnut Party!

Just a couple pictures of all the fun at the Doughnut Party! I think I ate about 3 1/2 including doughnut holes. Yummy, yummy. :)

Good job Grandpa, Grandma and all the fabulous decorators.

Party Weekend!

This weekend is Aaron and I's party weekend. We took some time off work and are going to be lazy and just enjoy being together.

Plus, we are getting together with some family for a doughnut party at Grandma and Grandpa's. Party, Party, Party! Sorry if you live too far away to come. -Grandpa really does make the best homemade doughnuts. I would try to save you one, but they are just too good. :)

Baby Shopping

Today Aaron and I went Baby Shopping. We almost bought a crib, changing table and dresser ... but decided to wait and look a little more online.

We did find a car seat and stroller set though! It's the one pictured to the left. We felt like the neutral coloring would work well for a boy or a girl. -Just in case we have more kids later on.

Yes all you Grandparents can keep your fingers crossed for more kids later on. Depending on the day and the back aches we change the number of kids we'd like to have on a daily basis.

We also found something amazing for our house! It almost didn't fit in our SUV and we almost couldn't fit it through the door into our house. Lol. -Guess we'd better not ever try to move. :)
