Better late than never...right?!?! We managed to get all three pumpkins carved last night, the night before Halloween!! Madison created a Cat (in the middle), I worked with lots of straight lines (on the left) and Matt had the traditional pumpkin face (on the right)! Now if we can just keep Boris from pushing them down the driveway long enough to light them up for trick-or-treaters!!

32 Week Appointment

Yesterday was my 32 week appointment, scheduled with Dr. Meyers but since she was way behind I was able to see Annie (my midwife and primary care giver)! It was a completely normal appointment - urine sample, blood pressure check, step on the scale, listen to the heart beat and measure the belly! Baby has been really active and he/she seems to really like one particular spot on my stomach - feels like a tae-kwon-do workout on my stomach!

I can't believe how busy this next week is going to be!! Friday is Halloween - enough said! Saturday we are celebrating Madison's birthday party which means that I'm taking five 7 year old to see High School Musical 3! Thank goodness that Grandma-Grandma said she would go with me...I'll need the help! Tuesday is Election Day and I encourage EVERYONE to get out and vote! Thursday is Madison's birthday - 8 years old already!! And Friday we head down state for a full weekend of visiting friends and taking in a wedding!!

Whew, I may need a small vacation after all of that!

32 week Belly!!

30 weeks and counting!!!

This morning I had my 30 week pre-natal appointment with Annie and today was the day I had to take my glucose test - yuck!! Nothing like getting your blood drawn first thing in the morning!!

Good news is that Annie says baby is head down (just the way it should be) and that everything looks good!! Baby had strong heartbeat and has been giving me a good kick in the side here and there!! Could I have a soccer player in there??

Since we are on the homestretch now - 10 weeks more or less - I am now schedule to see someone at the practice every two weeks!

Whoohoo...Baby Russell is on his/her way!!!

29 week Belly

Here is the latest belly picture...enjoy =)
