Happy Halloween

We went to meet up with Jeremy, Roxie and Little Miss Presley for some Halloween fun.  We went for dinner first at Chuy’s (one of my favorite places to eat right now… mmmm creamy jalepeno ranch, queso, and tortillas.)  After dinner we went to Prestonwood Baptist Church for the Fall Festival.  It was super fun.  They had activities for all ages of kids. We went to the preschool area to play games and trick or treat.  We were able to get Sophia to put on her costume for just a few minutes.  She was not very into wearing her costume this year.  Maybe next year she will.

the long trek from the car to the festival

Minnie Mouse

This was as close as we could get the girls, Presley thought that Sophia’s dragon was scary!!

But the costume didn’t stay on long!

Mowing the lawn and making bubbles.

I want to say a special thank you to Daddy, my sweet hubby, who was very hands on and helpful in watching and playing with Sophia.  I was lucky enough to just be able to walk around and watch my sweet little girl enjoy Halloween!  I love you bunches!  XOXO

Jack’s Room

So as of now, here is Jack’s Super Hero Room.  Vintage Marvel Comics.  Zach picked out the pictures for the walls.  I think it all came together, and is soooo adorable.  I am super impressed with our stripe that we painted on the walls!  Enjoy!  Jack will be here in less than a week and I can’t wait to meet our newest addition to our family.

38 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: 38 weeks (my belly is measuring 42 weeks)

Size of baby: length of leek

Total weight gain/loss: 22bs…

Maternity clothes: ALL THE WAY

Baby Gender: BOY

Baby Name: Jack David Mitchell
aka Spiderman or my baby according to Sophia

Movement: lots of little movements, as he is running out of space since we are nearing the last few final days!!  He feels like he is way down low and under my ribs all at the same time!

What I miss: ENERGY, sleeping through the night, the freedom of movement!

Cravings: milk, OREOS, DIET COKES!!!

Symptoms: pain from Jack moving up into my ribs and now also living on my bladder and I do believe at moments he has started to move down so he can get ready to meet his Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister…. not much fun and I am super duper tired all the time… thank you third trimester.

Best moment this week: I am measuring almost 42 weeks now and I am hoping he is not as HUGE as my belly, but he is still safe and growing big in my belly. As of now we are scheduled to meet our little boy on November 2nd.  Also I am fully enjoying Sophia asking, “How many more days mommy til I get to meet my baby?  I am ready to meet my baby.  Can I feel him Mommy?  He must be swimming in there mommy!”  She is just so adorable!!

Sweet little girl today when I picked her up from school! 

Carving Pumpkins with Honey

Honey came over and brought pumpkins for Sophia to carve.  Sophia of course was excited about the pumpkins, that is until we cut them open.  She wanted nothing to do with the insides.  She just kept telling us all that we need to clean out the goo.  She did however enjoy using baby wipes to clean off the pumpkins.   And of course putting the “light” inside to see them at night.  She was super excited that Honey made her a Minnie Mouse pumpkin!

36 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: 36 weeks (measuring 38 weeks).. see below for more info

Size of baby: a crenshaw melon

Total weight gain/loss: 18 lbs… I have been able to maintain weight since last week I caught a stomach bug! So NOT fun when you are 8 1/2 months preggo!! And I am down a pound from last week… I was told it was nothing to worry about

Maternity clothes: ALL THE WAY

Baby Gender: BOY

Baby Name: Jack David Mitchell
aka Spiderman, according to Sophia

Movement: lots of kicking and little punches… I think that he kicks and hits harder than Sophia did. He is very active first thing in the morning and late at night. He really likes being on my right side up under my ribs… which makes it very uncomfortable for me.  He is starting to move down some but not enough that it is too uncomfortable… only at night when I have been on my feet all day.

What I miss: ENERGY, sleeping through the night, CAFFENINE

Cravings: KFC mashed potatoes and gravy…. DIET COKES!!!

Symptoms: pain from Jack moving up into my ribs and now also living on my bladder and I do believe at moments he has started to move down so he can get ready to meet his Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister…. not much fun and I am super duper tired all the time… thank you third trimester.

Best moment this week: I had a sonogram and got to see little boy all squashed up inside.  I am currently 36 weeks and he is measuring in length around 37 weeks.  The technician estimated him to be at 6 lbs 5 oz.  His heartbeat is 130. She also said that there is still fluid between his head and my cervix so he has not dropped and become engaged yet… he is still safe and growing big in my belly.  As of now we are scheduled to meet our little boy on November 2nd.

Olivia's Birthday Party

Sophia was invited to birthday party for a little girl at her school. She was so excited to pick out a present fir her friend Olivia! We got to the party at Build A Bear and she was happy to be there, just a little shy at first. She had a blast making her bear, Big Pinky, and playing with her friends Olivia and Hattie!!

The State Fair of Texas 2011

Tuesday we took a half a day off and met up with my mom to head out to the State Fair.  Sophia was such a trooper since she did not get a nap that day.  We had fun at the dog show and petting zoo.  Sophia road a couple of rides with Grandma and Daddy.  Her favorite was the Merry Go Round.  We ate lots of food.  Corn dog, funnel cake, french fries, jalepeno corn dog, fried mashed potatoes, fried frito pies, fried butter, buffalo chicken in a flapjack with jalepeno crumbles then fried with syrup, and dip n dots….. yep lots and lots of food.  We got home that evening and we were all exhausted.  Sophia was alseep at 6:15!  It was a great day!
