Fall Festival

Last night was the Fall Carnival at my school and Quinn decided he wanted to come hang out with the big kids.  He has gotten really into Halloween this year talking about it all the time.  "Mommy, no leaves...Happy Halloween!"  "Mommy, where da puppy costume?"  For days he was talking about getting to wear his puppy costume and it was a struggle to convince him that he couldn't wear it to the gym and to Ms. Christy's house.  In fact, our conversation yesterday morning went something like this:

Me:  Good Morning Love.  Did you sleep well.
Q:  Yes, where da puppy costume?
Me:  Mommy packed it so we can wear it after Ms. Christy's house.
Q:  No, wear it now?
Me:  No, we're going to go to the gym, then Ms. Christy's house, then you get to wear the puppy costume.
Q:  Puppy costume first?
Me:  No...after Ms. Christy's.
Q:  Mmmm...No, puppy costume first.

Needless to say, he was so excited when I picked him up at Christy's house and he got to dress up in his costume.  Here are a few pics...Brad was even able to come enjoy the festivities for awhile!

On another note...we are now 15 weeks pregnant.  If you didn't know me, you wouldn't know I was pregnant, but anyone who knows me knows that my belly button is protruding, and my stomach is much rounder than normal.  No complaints here though...feeling GREAT!

Third Trimester - 28 Weeks

He's the size of an eggplant this week. Doesn't that just make you want to go out and order eggplant parmesan?!!? YIKES! I love the little e-mails you get every week telling you what size your baby is. Pretty soon I'm thinking cantaloupe and before we know it, he'll be a watermelon! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone, though at times it seems much longer since we started our hardcore journey through infertility and IVF almost exactly a year ago. A year ago, I was in tears because nothing was working and here we are today with 12 weeks or less until our life will be flipped upside down and we will have a third member of our family. It's surreal, it's exciting, it's scary, it's amazing...all at the same time.

A lot of people have been asking me if I'm having any cravings or anything weird going on and I must say I'm pretty boring. Other than being hungry ALL THE TIME, I've had no real cravings (oh yes, there was whipped cream that one morning but that's about it), I've been able to keep up my exercise regimen (though I've learned you just cannot look defined during pregnancy...must be the increased body fat), and for the most part, am feeling really great.

We took these pictures of 28 weeks this morning after a very restless night so pardon my less than stellar appearance, but here I am in all of my pregnancy glory...28 weeks along, an eggplant inside of me, and a belly to boot! ENJOY!
