Stroller

We got a stroller from craigslist today for $30. I am so excited. It is the one that is made to go with the carseat we have so it snaps in great. Our carseat is grey so the color looks nice. We are just so happy that we could get one for such a nice price.

23 Weeks Pregnant

Here is me at 23 weeks pregnant. About 3 weeks ago I was able to start feeling the baby moving around. It is so fun to experience. Brian likes a lot to feel my stomach when she is moving, it makes him so happy. It has been a bit harder to sleep at night but not that bad; it seems like Brian in his sleep always wants to hug me or push me into a position that is not comfortable. I am so hungry all the time now. I can't eat a lot at once so that makes me want to keep eating food all day long.

All the Christmas decorations are up and Brian & I have all our presents under the tree. The tree looks like it is so full of presents but it is just from Brian and I; I wrapped all of Brian's separately so it looks like a lot. Today Brian's parents and I are putting up the lights on the house and plants. I really like the garland they put over the garage, it makes it look nice during the day. We have our present for Emily & Neil all wrapped and ready to give to them so we are so excited to come visit and see them open it.

I scheduled to get our Christmas picture taken on the 19th by a lady in our ward. She needs to put a portfolio together so she is taking pictures for free. I think it will just be nice to have a good looking picture of us because we don't have very many pictures with Brian and I.

20 Weeks Ultrasound

I had an ultrasound last Thursday and got some great pictures. We also found out that we are having a girl. It is so exciting to know now. I am already thinking of all the cute clothes I can make for her. It is going to be so fun.

18 Weeks Pregnant

Ultrasound 17 Weeks

I had an ultrasound on Halloween. Here are some pictures that I got. Not sure if it is a boy or girl yet.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins on Sunday. From left to right they are Aveire's girl pumpkin with eyelashes and ears, Brian's Jack the Pumpkin King pumpkin, and Laura's haunted house pumpkin. We all had a fun time scooping out the insides and then it took Laura a long time to carve her's because she wanted to try something hard. Then after Brian was playing video games for a while he didn't want to carve his so Laura did it for him but at least he picked out the design. We also had to roast the seeds and they tasted so good but there were too many to eat last night so we still have quite a few left to eat later.

Worms!

Our ward had a Halloween potluck and trunk-or-treat on Saturday so Brian and I decided to make Jello Worms to bring. They were so fun to make and not very many people ate them probably because they were just not sure what it was. It was fun for the kids though, Romney and Averie thought it was cool to eat worms. Ben helped us eat the Jello scraps from the mold.

For the recipe go here. It was basically make Jello and then pour it into a half gallon milk carton with a lot of straws inside. The bendy ones make them look more real. Then when it is hard you separate the straws and push out the Jello. In a bowl they looked pretty gross.
