Merry Christmas


My favorite gift from Hallie: a 2.5 hour nap on Christmas eve
My favorite gift from my sweet husband: letting me nap as well and having dinner in the oven when I woke up.
My favorite gift from unborn baby Harper: being dilated to a 2 already! So hopefully my pregnant days will be over soon.
Cost of all my favorite gifts: priceless
Merry Christmas!!

Baby Belly Woes


With exactly one month to go, I have definitely entered the stage of my pregnancy where passing comments are less and less flattering. I just thought I would share some of my favorites.

Best Buy Cashier: (loudly) Well, I was supposed to close this register, but we are having a medical emergency. (Brandon and I both look at him concerned) No, not me, I don't want you to have your baby here!
Best Buy Manager: She's not THAT huge. Honey when are you due?
Me: (stall, stall) uhh, January
Manager: January what?
Me: (stall, blush, fidget) umm January uhh
Brandon: 18th
Me: No! it's the 15th. (I could care less that he didn't know the exact date, but I just didn't want it to sound one day longer than it had too.)

Man at church: (to Brandon) Hey, is your wife ok?
Brandon: Yes, she's fine. why?
Man: Oh, well I saw you two leave class early and I thought it might be time.

Lady at Walmart: So how far past your due date are you? I went two weeks late.
(This didn't even deserve a response)

Family friend: Are you SURE there's only one in there?

Furniture Guy: Where should I take this nightstand?
Me: Upstairs to the left, I'll show you
Furniture Guy: No ma'am you are carrying enough weight, I can find it.

Trust me, I'm not offended because we all say things that sound worse coming out of our mouths than it did in our heads. After seeing my own picture. I'm questioning if I will really make it another month too.

Seriously?

We went for a short hike this weekend with the kids to savor the last of the nice weather. Mikayla and Korbin thought it was funny when I told them I had to be extra careful with my footing now that I could no longer see my feet so well. I wasn't exaggerating!!! I truly did leave the house today ready to go with different color flip flops on. Brandon thankfully caught it before we made it past the driveway, but still, how embarrassing is that?
(forgive my neglected toenails, but I can't reach them very well these days either)

I Did IT!

Hallie is enjoying her last few weeks of being the only baby in the house, as you can see she loves the spotlight.

Teat Teat (Trick or Treat)

Buying Hallie a Halloween costume wasn't a complete waste this year. We might have missed all the parties, at least we got some cute pictures and took her to two houses to give her the idea of trick or treating. She loves to make this funny face.I wish I could say that she is giving her baby sister love, but no she hasn't grasped that concept yet. So in truth she was just giving mom's belly button kisses.
We've loved having Grandma stay with us the last week. I don't know how I would have made it without her. Hallie's getting attached, so thankfully she will be back in a short three months when she will once again be needed badly.
Enjoying her hard earned candy

Pumpkin Patch Part 2


This is one of my favorite picture of these two. She wanted to lay down and say cheese with KaKa.

So after we had been taking pictures for about 5 minutes on these tubes and jumping around on them, a scared 4 year old climbed out of one of the tubes. I felt so bad when her mother had to come coax her out, and the child was nearly in tears. Ooops
Getting lost in the corn maze sounded fun, until I had to go to the bathroom so bad it was hard to walk, the joys of being pregnant.

We are obviously past the appropriate age to be on this slide, but it was so much fun. I love seeing Brandon at the end with his hands up in the air because my belly is getting too big for him to wrap around.
