33 weeks




Yay, 33 weeks. This pregnancy has flown bye sooo fast. As everyone knows Seth left for deployment a little over a week ago. It is hard but I am managing. The only thing keeping me from breaking down is the fact that he will be home for Christmas and for the delivery of our daughter. I feel so blessed that Seth is in a unit where they actually let them come home for important events. Right now im in the process of getting ready for halloween. Our church will be putting on a trunk or treat so after this blog post I will be decorating the trunk of my car. Being pregnant its kind of hard to dress up for Halloween. I found an Orange shirt and hot glued a pumpkin face to my belly. Hopefully I wont look to lame lol. Anyway, Happy Halloween.

31 weeks



Our little bundle of joy weighs approximately 3 1/2 pounds and measures around 16 inches. She still moves around like crazy and gets the hiccups several times a day (it feels very strange)! Given that my "due date" is in 8 weeks, I don't know how I'm going to get everything done in time! I have a very long list of things to do. Most of the shopping items are checked off (no surprise there), but I still have lots of organizing to do... cupboards, drawers, baby clothes, toys, etc. Hopefully I will have time with Seth gone and a 2 year old running around to get things done.. We'll see! Im at a point in the pregnancy feeling excited but more so scared. I have been sad knowing that it wont be just Levi anymore. As much as I adore and love Levi its so hard to think it will be the same for another baby. Of course I will love her just the same, it's just weird. Hopefully I can juggle spending time with Levi while taking care of a new baby. Seth will be deployed so I have twice as much work to do on the "making Levi feel loved" It's going to be hard.

Pumpkin Patch!

What's more fun than playing in a corn box? A pumpkin patch with the ones you love! I love pumpkins and more so I love fall! Today Seth, Levi and I went to a pumpkin patch not to far from our house. Its nothing compared to pumpkin patches in Oregon. I am thankful they have one here at least. We had a great time petting animals, playing on a slide and most importantly picking the perfect pumpkins. Hopefully we will have time to carve them before Seth leaves.
