Lots to catch up on.

So much has gone on in the past few days! I am so glad that this week is finally almost over, although it has been very fun. Wednesday we celebrated Allen's birthday. His Birthday was actually Thursday, but since it was Thanksgiving, we decided to do it the day before. We both got home from work and then went to Chili's for dinner. The is Allen's favorite place to eat, he could eat it 24/7 and be happy. So we went out to dinner and then came back home. His family came over and we opened presents. I made him a BYU blanket and he LOVES it. I also got him a nice football for him to play with and a season of Seinfeld. He got some cards in the mail from my family so he opened those and his sister Maria gave him a Fudruckers gift card. (That is his next favorite restaurant so he was so excited!) We all had cake and ice cream, and it was a nice fun night. The next day we woke up and Allen went and played football for a couple hours, came home and showered and then we went bowling. That is one of my family traditions. We ALWAYS go bowling on Thanksgiving morning and it worked out great because one of Allen's favorite things to do is bowling, so he got to do it on his birthday. We had a huge dinner that was sooo delicious and we sat around for the rest of the day. It was such a nice relaxing day. Then the next morning I had to be at work at 5:45 in the morning for black friday. Wow, that is way too early for a pregnant woman who is sick and can't sleep. It was HORRIBLE. But work was fun and went by really quick. Then that night which was last night, we went and bought some lights for our christmas tree and then we went and picked out a christmas tree. We went with his family go get a tree and it was so fun to see Abby's (my niece) excitment about the trees. It sure is fun having a little kid around who just loves everything about the holidays. They picked out their tree and Allen and I picked out ours. It was very difficult to buy our tree because Allen and I were both raised with our trees being like 15 foot trees. We had to buy like a 7 foot tree so it could fit in our apartment. It is just so weird to have a small tree, but I guess we will be having small trees for many more years until we own a house with vaulted ceilings. We came home and put on Christmas music and decorated our first tree together. It was such a fun night but I was so tired from being up all night. This morning I had to be at work at 6:45, not as early as the day before but still WAY too early. Now I am home from work and I am so so so tired from everything that has been going on. It sure wipes you out!

22 weeks along (5 months)

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.


I cannot believe how big our little baby is getting! My stomach sure has grown some more and my belly button is starting to flatten out. Before, I had a huge hole and now it is starting to flatten. The baby kicks a lot and moves a ton. Sometimes one side of my stomach is higher than the other and when I touch it, it is rock hard. It so fun to be able to see where the baby is in my stomach sometimes. Nobody told me that your belly gets hair when you are pregnant. I HATE IT! I mean its not like thick hair or anything, but I never had hair on my stomach before. Oh dear! I have gotten to the point where most of the time I can't get up from sitting down. Allen always has to help me up now off the couch now. I look like an old lady trying to get up and it takes so long. He is so sweet about it because I don't even have to ask for help anymore, he just does it. He is getting really good at seeing what I need and helping me out. And when I stop and hold my stomach he goes, "ARE YOU OKAY?!?!" It is so sweet. I just love how he notices all the little things now. I sure appreciate him. Well the pregnancy is going well. I get to start ordering some of our baby furniture within the next couple weeks. I am so excited to start getting ready for this baby. I just love him so much!

Twilight!

Allen and I saw Twilight on Saturday night. I didn't know what to expect of the movie. I did really enjoy watching the movie, but I was also really disappointed. I felt as if the movie was really choppy and would move so quickly from one scene to the next. But then again, how in the world are you supposed to fit a whole book into one short movie. I know that they can't show everything but I wish they showed more. I felt like sometimes during the movie, the acting wasn't very good, although I believe they casted the characters PERFECTLY! I was so happy with their choices of the characters. At times I felt as if it looked like it was a low budget film, but other times it was AMAZING. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the fight scene and the baseball scene was SO AMAZING. When they were playing baseball and having fun I leaned over to Allen and told him I wanted to be apart of the Cullen family! :) HAHA! I was soooooo surprised how different the movie was from the book though. I kept hearing from everyone that they followed the book perfectly but I found myself CONSTANTLY through the whole movie going, "That didn't happen like that," or "They really messed up the sequence of that." But as a whole I did really enjoy the movie. On the drive home I was telling Allen so many things about the movie that bothered me because they changed scenes COMPLETELY!

Allen the whole time before the movie came out, swore he would NEVER read the books. Finally after awhile I found out he would go see the movie with me so I was so excited. The whole time during the movie I would look at Allen and he seemed as if he was bored watching the movie. But when we got home from the movie he was so anxious to read the first book! HAHAHA! We got home at 1, so he couldnt start it, but he woke up at 9:30 and got dressed and ran out of the house to go borrow it from his sister. My husband is SO adorable. I just love him so much. He read a ton of the book last night and I asked him if now he understands why the movie was driving me nuts. He said, "Yeah, they changed a lot!"

So now my adorable husband is into the whole Twilight thing he swore to never be apart of. I do recommend everyone to see the movie. You just have to keep in mind, how can they fit a whole book in one movie? They cant. And that is what you get. The end!

A sad sad story...

Today I called my mom to talk to her. She informed me of some horrible news. There was a family that I knew from back home who had something so horrible happen to them. I know a lot of you know this family and for those who have not heard, it is Mark and Susan Lee. Some of you know this family by their girls, Erica Lee and Lexi Lee who attended the singles ward back home. They are such a loving and wonderful family that I have always LOVED. They are so caring and do foster care. They have taken in so many kids and are truly a great family.

They moved from Mukilteo to Arlington about a year ago and purchased a home that was larger and they could take in more foster kids. Well late last night their house caught on fire and burned completely to the ground. Eight out of ten of them made it out of the house. Unfortunately two of the foster boys, ages 11 and 12 were stuck in the house and did not make it out. How devastating would that be to lose children in a house fire, to know of how much they suffered and the pain they felt. My heart is just broken for them! For those who would like to read more about the story go to http://www.komonews.com/news/34929894.html#idc-container.

This family does not deserve what happened to them last night. It is such a sad story and my heart is broken for them. Please everyone remember to keep the Lee's in your prayers!

I am dying!

Oh wow...I cannot even describe what I am feeling. I was at work and towards the end of my shift I started feeling pains in my stomach. I had sneezed and then after the sneeze my stomach felt as if I had spent the last 45 minutes doing sit ups. It just felt so sore. Then it started getting worse. By the time I left work I was in so much pain. I just feel as if I am going to explode, well like my stomach is. I don't like this pressure and pain. I don't know what it is but please, please, PLEASE go away. I can't even explain the feelings my stomach is experiencing. OUCH! Somebody please help me...

21 week picture

OH YES!

Today I actually feel cute! :) It's the first time in a very long time I have felt cute. When you are pregnant you just don't like to look in the mirror, even when your stomach hasn't started growing, because you just feel gross. This morning I woke up early and I did my hair and make up and put on some nice clothes. I just feel GOOD! I don't know why I feel so good today but I just have so much energy. I sure hope this lasts longer than just today. I went out today and wasn't totally embarrassed. Normally I want to hide my face and pray that I don't run into anyone. Not today. Oh I sure hope this lasts!

Up until today I have felt like I have gained 20 pounds being pregnant. But every time I went to the doctors and got weighed that wasn't so! As of my last appointment which was 2 weeks ago, I have only gained....drum roll please.....2 POUNDS since I've been pregnant! Amazing huh? I have been reading on the internet that by now most women have gained an average of 10 pounds, I guess I have just been lucky. Its amazing that the scale says that when I feel like everything has gotten bigger, which I KNOW my stomach has. But hey if that's what the doctors say that I weigh, I'LL TAKE IT! I know that my next appointment I will have gained much more weight because I have been eating TERRIBLE the last 2 weeks.

Anyways, I am just so grateful for how I feel today. I haven't felt so good in SOOO long. Oh please last...

For all you TWILIGHT lovers...

I get to go see twilight this weekend for FREE! HAHAHA SUCKERS! Don't be upset.... :) My work does movie nights twice a month and this Saturday is Twilight. I get to bring as many family members as I would like! :) So I ordered 6 tickets and I am going to bring some of my in-laws. The lucky people who get to go are Scott & Maria, AJ & Katie, and Allen with me! HOW FUN! I am just so happy that I get to go opening weekend and I don't have to pay for it. The movie is at 9 at Thanksgiving Point and they are doing free give aways at 8:30 for people at my work. Oh I have the best job. I just love my job so much because everyone gets along. There is no gossiping at my work and everyone is so friendly. I just LOVE my job! I can't say it enough. So don't be jealous that I get to go for free, and you all have to pay! HAHAHA!

Tonight we are going to Tucanos for dinner. I LOVE EATING THERE! It is one of my favorite places to eat, but it is just too dang expensive. ($20/plate) Well they do free dinners for birthday people if you sign up. So this is the second year we get to go for Allen's birthday for free! Of course I still have to pay for my meal, but 2 for 1 is a great deal. I know its not Allen's birthday yet, but it is in about a week. Allen's and AJ's birthday are a couple weeks apart, so we are doing dinner for both of them in between. So yay for TUCANOS!

I LOVE YOU!

So today I got off work at three. I drove up to the house and Allen was waiting for me outside the house in our jeep. He rolled down the window and gave me a big smile and then said to get in because we were going out. It was so fun to be surprised like that. He laughed at me as I attempted to climb into the Jeep. (and yes I said climbed) For those who haven't seen our Jeep it has HUGE tires and is raised. I never had troubles before getting in the car but now it is nearly impossible to get in with being pregnant. So after I finally got in we went for a nice drive and talked. We went and got some YUMMY sandwiches at this delicious place called Zubs in Springville. Then we went looking around for some Christmas ornaments for our Christmas tree this year. We went to the quilted bear and they had some that we really liked. Then we went across the street to the Provo Towne Mall and walked around together. It was so much fun. We just walked around holding hands and laughing and looking at fun stuff. We both pointed out some stuff that we would like for Christmas to give eachother some ideas. I fell in LOVE with this black purse and I sure hope I get it. Allen really liked it too! We went to the cologne counter and smelt like EVERY one and by the end I was feeling dizzy because of all the scents. Boy was it fun though. We went to the food court to share a drink, and we got a frozen cherry lemonade from Hot Dog on a Stick. It was YUMMY! Then we came home! It was just so nice to be surprised like that and go out together and share a wonderful night. Thanks so much honey! You are so wonderful to me and I love you so very much!

New Recipes

I have posted a bunch of new recipes all this week and hope to continue to post a few more in the next couple days so check them out. :)

Newborns

I constantly lay there and wonder what our little baby boy will look like. I sure hope he doesn't look like I did as a baby because I sure was NOT cute. HAHAHA! Here is my newborn picture:

Oh this picture makes me laugh. I have the biggest cheeks and the squintiest eyes. But no matter how our baby looks, I know I will just love him with all my heart!

Half way there!

So today I have officially hit 20 weeks and we have 20 more weeks to go...so I am HALF WAY THERE! It's so funny how at the beginning of my pregnancy, 20 weeks felt so far away and I didn't think I would ever get there. Well here I am and now I am like, "Why was I so anxious to get to this point?" It's not like it changes anything but I was so excited. Now I am thinking, will I ever get to 30 weeks? That feels so far away too but I hope it goes by quick. I think the next two months at least are going to fly by because of the holidays and stuff. So yay for being half way done. It's amazing how people say you should feel great your second tri-mester! I had such an EASY first trimester and as soon as I almost hit the second one it started becoming a struggle. My second trimester has been filled with throwing up, not sleeping, HORRIBLE back and stomach pains, being put on bedrest, bleeding, terrible head aches, and just being too dang uncomfortable. So many of my friends who are pregnant feel great in their second trimester and it sucks to know I am just getting worse! I guess I will ignore what the books and the doctors say about how I should be because I am not following the trend. At least I know that the baby is still healthy and moving around a lot. That gives me so much comfort. For those who have never been pregnant let me explain something. Before you feel the baby, you stress EVERY DAY that you have lost the baby. You just hope and pray that he is still there. Right before your doctors appointments you get so nervous that something isn't right, but as soon as you hear the heartbeat, your worries go away. (For that moment at least!) But now that I can feel our precious boy, I get that reassurance every time he kicks that he is still alive. It sure is great to feel it!

WOOHOO!!!!

ALLEN JUST FELT THE BABY KICK!!!!!!  :)  I am so so so excited.  Yesterday I started feeling the baby move around like I said in the previous post.  Well last night the baby started really kicking more and it was so cool.  I bet the baby has been moving around like this for awhile but I haven't noticed because I have been so busy.  Well with having the last 2 days off of work I have been able to relax and I have really felt the baby.  Once you recognize what it feels like to feel the baby, so start noticing it more often.  Last night as I would lay there they baby was kicking a lot and stuff.  I didn't think Allen was going to be able to feel it for awhile though until the kicking got stronger.  Well I was just laying down on the couch with my hand on my stomach enjoying feeling my baby.  Allen kept reaching over and putting his hand on my stomach to see if he could feel it and he couldn't.  Well on about the third time of him trying, the baby kicked and he said, "WOW I FELT THAT!"  I was so excited to know he can feel the baby too.  I can't explain how special that moment was for me though!  I have spent the last 20 weeks experiencing the baby alone, and finally he can too!  It almost brings me to tears to think about it.  Allen was so sweet today and kept putting his hand on my stomach over and over again without me asking him to.  Its great to know that he wants to feel it as well.  It is great to know that now he will be able to experience part of the pregnancy along with me for the next 20 weeks.  I love you Allen!

And the baby moves!

Today is a great day for some reason. I woke up and I slept pretty well last night. It took about and hour and a half to fall asleep because I had so much on my mind last night. It was fun to just lay there and think and listen to my husband asleep! :) But once I fell asleep I slept pretty well. Today is my day off and I am really enjoying sitting around today! I was just sitting here at the computer reclined in my chair and I felt something in my stomach. It was a feeling that I know that my stomach could not make by itself and I know it was our little baby boy! Oh how fun this is. Something moved in there and I kept feeling it over and over again. It sure is pretty neat. I am sure it wont be very fun when you feel it all day long and feel him kicking you like crazy, but for now I will enjoy this! :)

Totally humiliated!

About 2:30 this afternoon I started feeling really dizzy and like I was going to throw up. I was supposed to be at work at 3 so it wasn't good that I was getting sick then. I called work and asked then if maybe I could come in at 4 instead of 3 so I can take some medicine and lay down for a little bit. They were really short handed so they told me I still had to come in at 3. I was feeling really dizzy at work so they gave me a stool to sit on at the cash register. 6:30 rolls around and it was time for my break, so I went to the break room to eat. I was taking my last bite of my food and all of a sudden I knew what was about to happen. I threw up everywhere. Now when I throw up I start crying so hard and I start sweating like CRAZY. My whole body heats up and my face gets really red. Right when I was about finished throwing up a girl walks into the back and screams, "ARE YOU OKAY?!?!?!" I probably looked really weird with my face sweating and everything. (Luckily I didn't cry this time because I held it back since I was at work) They sent me home from work to rest and I am so completely humiliated!

A morning without your husband!

Its so boring sitting at home by yourself! :( Allen had to leave this morning to meet up with the Young Men to collect food for a food drive or something like that. Then there was something after that I didn't know about. I think it was some kind of run to collect money for a girl or something. I don't know, I may be completely wrong cuz when he told me it was so quick I didn't understand. And then there is the BYU game. He called me and asked if I wanted to go to his uncles house with his family to watch the game, but I had to work at three. So he went to the game and I had to stay behind! :( I don't even like watching football, but I don't like sitting here alone either. But it turned out okay because I had something to work on. Allen's birthday is coming up so I had to figure out some presents. (Which is so hard to do for some reason) Well I am making one of them and I can hardly wait to give it to him. I started it yesterday morning before work and then I got to work on it today. Obviously I can only work on it when he isn't home, so I can only do little bits at a time. Well, I have almost finished it now but put it away to work on another time. Now I get to get ready for work and pack a dinner for my break. Oh, I am so excited for him to have this present I am making...I sure hope you like it honey!

Oh the pain...

I open my eyes at 8am disappointed because of lack of sleep. I can't remember the last time I slept through the night, it certainly was awhile ago. I am so tired and my body can't move. I make my way out of bed and struggle just walking out of the bedroom. I hear my husband in the front room, "What's wrong?" I must have looked drugged or something. I feel my body just dragging along the floor as I am attempting to walk. My stomach hurts, and hurts bad! I am holding my hand on my stomach, my bump that just aches. "I just hurt...", I respond walking into the bathroom. Shortly after he left for school, I put some clothes on and drove to get some things I needed for his birthday present. I started the present and then looked at the clock. I had to hurry and get to work! I walk into work and instantly I wanted to go home. I knew today was going to be long because of my body. Customers after customers walked through the line. "Can I get the coupon on that?" "Where are your magnets?" "That was supposed to be 75%off" "Where's the bathroom?" Today just isn't a good day. I am told that I am the last one to get a break today. WHY? I need to sit down, I can't even stand. Finally 2:00 rolls around and I tell the customers that my till is closed and that someone else can help them as a try to hustle into the back room. The whole way to the back I get stopped every few feet, "Where are your ribbons?" "Will these pencils show up on wood?" "Is this on sale?" "Where can I find..." I just want to go on break! After 30 minutes sitting at the table in the back enjoying my salad and relaxing, I clock back in and make my way back to the register. I stood there customer after customer in horrible pain. My back was burning in pain, my feet felt swollen, my lips burning from being chapped, my stomach going CRAZY! All day I felt as if my belly was just growing. There was so much pressure and it wouldn't stop! I realized that if I hold my hand under my stomach that the pain would be minimal, so I tried to hold it every chance I could. The entire day I felt like I would collapse and fall asleep on the floor. Every employee left for the day and I was still there. Oh how badly I wanted to leave too. I watched new employees get there for the new shift and I wanted to leave, but I was there for another two hours! The pain was coming on even stronger! I look at the clock at 4 to find that I still had one more hour of work...NO WAY! I didn't want to be there one more minute. I felt like 30 minutes passed by and glanced at the clock. It had only been 5 minutes. That last hour was killing me. Finally it was 5 and I hurried to clock out and get home. Once home I felt so much better but as the night is progressing, the pain is coming back. I have no strength in my body. I am sitting here at the computer now typing this post and just trying to get through the day. I think I am going to go take a nice bath, put some warm pajamas on and some chap stick and go cuddle with my husband under a blanket and watch a movie as I fall asleep in his arms.

I will wake up in the morning the same way and then go to work again. Oh the joys of being pregnant, and the sad thing is I know this is just the beginning. There is much more and much worse pain to come. It is amazing what we do for our children, and I wouldn't trade this in for anything!

Feelings

I thought a lot yesterday about our new President elect. Let me start off by first saying that I don't think it is good having him in office! But putting that aside I feel so blessed to be apart of this history having our first black president. How amazing is it that they went from not being able to vote and be around whites, not too long ago, to being our President. I think that it is absolutely AMAZING and I am so proud to know the America has been able to elect a black man as our president. I am sad though that he does not have our same standards and morals. It would be even more amazing if he had such great morals and was black, but unfortunately that is not the case. I am truly scared for what America is becoming and what it is going to do to us having Obama in office. After a lot of thinking I realized there is nothing we can do about this situation. America has voted and even though we don't agree, we have to support him because we are obligated to as an American citizen. I know a lot of people will argue that with me, but I feel like we have an obligation to support our leaders whether we agree with them or not. It's like getting a new bishop, we may not agree with who is called, and we may not like him, but we still need to support him. We all need to remember that even though we do not like the new President, God will always have control. So, lets put our faith in God and do everything we know is right. I hope I haven't offended anybody by this, but its how I feel.

Now moving past the whole election topic, it snowed yesterday and HARD! I woke up and had to take almost 2 inches of snow off my car. I am frightened by driving in the winter. I wreaked my car BAD once on the ice, so every winter I get frightened again. I do love getting snow, but I hate driving in it. It is a love/hate relationship! :)

I absolutely love my job! It is seriously the best job I have ever had. It is so close, so I don't have to drive far! :) My managers are the sweetest most loving ladies and they are so kind to me. The girls I work with are the best! The customers are always so happy and is just makes work so enjoyable. They are so great to me about me being pregnant. They don't like for me to lift anything or so anything that could put strain on my body. How wonderful it is to work in such a professional environment. I sure wish I started working here before because I am just so happy everyday because I just LOVE my job. I can't say it enough!

Anyways, enough of me going off on nothing! If you want this recipe for this breakfast casserole

that Allen and I had this morning, go to my recipe blog. I posted it today. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Our precious little boy!

I had my ultrasound today and I sure enjoyed it. A few weeks ago our baby was measuring a little large but not anymore. She said he is measuring perfect and is measuring 18 weeks and 6 days, WHICH IS WHAT HE IS TODAY! So that is great news. From head to toe the baby is 8-9 inches long. His heart beat is 140 and the average is 120-160, so more good news. She said his brain looks great and that his heart is nice and strong. Looking at the ultrasound she said that my placenta has completely moved up and I am no longer low-line and is no longer a concern for me! :) Everything is going just wonderfully with the baby and I sure love him so much!

As for the pains I was having last night she said not to worry about them too much. The first pains I was having she said was a pinch in my sciatic nerve and that happens as everything is stretching. (So you were right one Jaclyn!) The other pain that I was having in bed later she said was like a muscle spasm in my stomach or something like that. I don't exactly remember what she said about it but that sometimes it happens when you are pregnant and maybe are getting a UTI/bladder infection. They had me do a pee test to see if I had one and I didn't, and they said it could be caused if I did a lot of movement that day. I guess I am still stressing out my body too much!

So the baby is healthy and doing just wonderfully!

Today has finally come...

...and I wish it would go away! Today is the big day. I cannot believe that we will have a new elected president. I am so very scared. I am so scared for what America has become and what it will become. It scares me to be bringing a child into the world with how it is becoming. I don't feel like either of these candidates are going to help this situation and are suited to be President. I personally feel as if we are doomed no matter what. I know we are heading towards a second great depression and that just scares me. Something has got to change and change now before this gets out of hand. I feel so blessed that Allen's and my jobs have not been effected yet by this economy. I have so many friends who have lost their jobs and I know how hard it is to find good jobs right now. Too many good people are losing their jobs and their houses! I am also so scared to know the outcome out Prop 8. I don't want to get into this issue because I know it is a touchy subject for some individuals, but I will say, "WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?!?!?!" It just really scares me!

I guess all we can do at this time is fast, pray, and go to the Temple often. We just need to put our faith in the Lord, and everything will work out!

On a happier note, I have another doctor's appointment. We are having our ultrasound appointment today and boy am I happy and excited to see our little precious baby moving around. I just cant express enough how much I already love this little boy! Last night he sure was hurting me bad though...but I still love him. For those who have been pregnant before, can you tell me if this is normal: Last night I was getting the WORST pain in my lower stomach above my left leg. I felt like I kept having a muscle spasm or like a sharp thick needle was poking me deep inside. It kept happening like every 5 minutes for awhile and then when I laid in bed and tried to roll over it was a constant pain to where I couldn't even roll over because I couldn't move. I don't know what I was feeling last night but it sure wasn't pleasant. I don't know if that is normal or a big concern or not. So if you could inform me that would be great!

Oh yeah I also posted a new recipe this morning. Its a pasta dish. Quick and easy!

What's for dinner TONIGHT?

I posted a new recipe that Allen and I had for dinner tonight. It is a recipe to DIE for. Allen and I sure love it so make sure to check it out. There is a link to my recipe blog in the right side column under the "My Blogs" section. You must try it out. It is such an easy recipe. ENJOY! :)

I can't believe it's NOVEMBER already!

The end of the year is approaching us FAST! I can't even believe that it has gone by so quickly. At work we already have all of the Christmas stuff out. For anyone looking for way cute Christmas decorations COME TO ROBERTS! I am so excited to get a few things. Last night was a lot of fun. Allen and I just sat around together. He dressed up and I did not. We passed out candy to the kids who came by and surprisingly there were a lot of them. We didn't know how many kids we would have but I was pleasantly surprised! After passing out candy we went to Maria's house and watched the last two Offices we missed. It was just a nice relaxing night...and I have to say...my niece Abby was so stinking adorable. I don't know how you can get any cuter! Here were Allen's and my pumpkins from last night:

Allen's was the one on the left (the little devil kid or whatever it is) and mine on the right (the witch one). Allen's was falling apart because he had it out in the sun and it ruined his pumpkin. We tried to save it by using a toothpick to hold the mouth part together...as you can see the mouth ended up a little demented! But oh well! It was a fun Halloween together!

This morning I got a phone call from Roberts and one of the girls was really sick so they asked if I could come in. So I worked this morning from 11-4. It was nice to get out of the house. I picked up some extra shifts next week and I am working so much. I hope my body can handle it by the end of the week. I am now working on Saturday from 9 in the morning until 10 at night. KILL ME! I hope everything will be okay.

My belly is getting rounder and it sure is starting to make me hurt. My back has been killing all morning. I love to just lay down and rub my hand over my belly and try to feel the baby move or something. I felt a few things last night but it wasn't strong feelings. It sure is fun to know there is a baby in there and that its growing SO much! :) I just love our little boy so much. We have our ultrasound on Tuesday morning and I am dying to see the baby again and see him move! That will be a blast!
