had to add...

After posting the previous blog I went to check on my husband who was carrying furniture up into the attic....
Yep, he's wearing my Halloween cape. Anything for a good laugh- that's my husband! Gosh, I love that man :)

quick update!

I had a few moments to spare before tackling the MOUNTAINS of laundry in the house! Here are several pictures (out of order b/c it takes to long to think about uploading them chronologically- sorry!). To see a before shot, look at previous posts. Carter's hair was long. Too long. Last night Sean cut it, and I have to say it's one of the best haircuts Carter has ever had! My little BOY is back!! Here are some pictures I took of him this morning before school with his new haircut :)
Yah, he poses like this all on his own, haha..




We carved pumpkins this week at Aunt Anease and Uncle Jimmy's house!



26.5 weeks, and not dressed so hot.. hey, we were carving pumpkins ;)

Book Character Parade Day at school starring Wolverine!

Super Mrs. Stevenson at Legacy Prep! (My whole class dressed
as superheroes and my room mom made me this!)


Picture from our last ultrasound on 9/10- about 19 weeks.

The baby is approximately 2lbs right now and seems to always be active. Seriously, I wonder sometimes if she sleeps. She looks completely different from the last ultrasound picture I'm sure, as she's put on more fat under that thin skin that was pictured above. As she grows and I grow, we're all getting more and more excited. Every little movement makes it more and more of a reality- there's a real baby girl in there! I go back to the dr. next Friday for the tasty glucose screening, then I'll start going back every two weeks! I can't believe we're at that point already- time is flying by. Sean has felt like we have all the time in the world (is he a guy?:), but I finally convinced him that I do not have all the time in the world. I have 13 weekends until there's a baby in my house- and that's if she comes right on time, not a day early. My weekends are already filled with soccer, church, and birthday parties, so I need all the time I can get to prepare for baby! I think our little talk worked. He's cleaning out the nursery right this very minute :)
Have a fun, safe Halloween weekend! I hope all the mommies get all the candy they wish for! :)

Grease, anyone?


Carter attended the first grade sock-hop last night, and I may have had more fun getting him dressed than any of the kids had all night at the event! Grease is one of my all-time favorite movies. I could watch it any time and sing along with every song, quote most of the dialogue- and it never gets old. Thanks, Dad, for getting me hooked back in the 6th grade and letting me sport the ribbons in my hair! :) Here is my little Kenickie..

"Go Greased Lightnin'!" (If you know the movie, you know this dance!)

In other news, I receive the worst blogger award. And yes, it's self-awarded. I would love to spend just 30 minutes every few days posting pictures (especially since my husband bought me a fun, fantastic big girl camera!) and keeping everyone updated, but I seriously don't have it. And I'm not one of those people who say they're busy but make time for their favorite show- I don't even watch tv- and I've only sat on our new couch that we've had for 2 wks TWICE, and once I was grading papers, so that shouldn't even count, haha. Anyways, I'm going to try to aim for a once-a-week update.

So here's what I look like. Well, this picture was actually taken 2 weeks ago, but I haven't changed too much. We're 25 weeks along today! Time is flyin' and I'm starting to get a little nervous. I haven't done a thing, really. But that's what I plan on spending Thanksgiving and Christmas break doing :) Here are some other pictures I've taken recently that I like!
me and baby, 23 weeks

Carter's first game last week. He's so good this season, and aggressive!
He scored 3 goals. He scored 2 at this morning's game, too!


Victory!


My precious little niece with Granna :)


We've been playing a lot of sports lately. Carter has even changed his future career to a NFL player- yikes!


Carter could pass for their kid, huh? My brother is so lucky to look like me! :)
