Baby Updates

If you are tired of baby updates, then this blog post is not for you. Maybe I will get around to posting other parts of our life soon.

Here I am at around 20 weeks. I got a little behind at posting these...

Then, at around 24 weeks. I don't think my arm is really that chubby. It was FREEZING outside, and I'm pretty sure I was just squeezing my arm against my body. I could be wrong though...

The baby is getting bigger every day. It is so fun to be able to feel him moving around and kicking. It is endlessly entertaining to me. I love to poke him to make him move. :)

Here is a picture of him at about 22 weeks. Yes, he looks a bit monkey-ish. He was pretty uncooperative and this is the best (and only) profile picture we could get.

I have shown some real restraint when it comes to buying things for this baby. I hope Daniel realizes how proud he should be! I have only bought a few select things. My most recent purchase was an adorable baby bird hat. I borrowed this picture from the girl I bought it from (mostly because I was too lazy to get up and take my own picture). I think it is even cuter in person, though! It is super soft and cozy.

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to get a prenatal massage. Heavenly!!! What a nice husband I have to encourage me to get one! Hopefully, it will be the first of many (or a least a few). :)

Halloween, Birthday, and Thanksgiving

The last 2 months have flown by! Just so you don't think we are completely boring, this is a post all about holiday festivities! Starting with Halloween, we have quite the lineup of holidays: Halloween - 2 week break - my birthday - 2 week break - Thanksgiving - 2 week break - Daniel's birthday - 2 1/2 week break - Christmas.

Back to Halloween...

Sometime in October, we carved pumpkins with Dave and Jessica. Unfortunately, they shriveled up after about 48 hours. Sad day. We spent Halloween night with Skyler and Tiffany. They made root beer with dry ice. It looked cool and tasted delicious!

Daniel made my Halloween costume this year. We stole the idea from Brooke and Ryan. I needed something that I could still use crutches with. The kids at school thought it was pretty cool. (It is a Wii remote.)

We also went to a Halloween dinner at the Robert's house. We didn't take any pictures there, but we did take a picture of our awesome "eyeballs."

Next, my birthday...

This year, my birthday was on 11-11-11. Pretty cool, huh? The broken foot AND sinus infection were not so cool. Still, we did our best to celebrate. We ate at the Cheesecake factory and went to the opening day of Crate and Barrel - my favorite store! They opened their first store in Utah on my birthday!

(I would post a picture here, but we only took one picture that day and it is the most unflattering picture I have ever seen. It probably has something to do with the sinus infection and abundant pregnancy acne.)

I also got to celebrate my birthday later that week with my two favorite little girls.

Then, Thanksgiving...

We started our Thanksgiving celebration with Dave and Jessica. We ate a delicious meal at Tucanos. It was amazing (and way better than cooking)!

We then spent the next couple of days at Daniel's grantparents' house. Lots of family and lots of food. We set up their Christmas tree again this year. Isn't it lovely?

We love this time of year!!
