Isaiah is here!

And in case your wondering what the cutest baby in town looks like...here he is!

And what a peanut he is! This little guy was 6 lb, 2 oz and just 19inches long. (if your curious, Noah was 7 lb 7 oz, and Eli was 8 lb, 8 oz)

39 weeks!

Ready and waiting! Any day now...

38 weeks

Another appt. Baby looked good, momma looked as good as she can for 9 months pregnant, and all in all it was another typical appt. I'm progressing, bp was higher again, weight gain still at 19lbs, and belly measured at 37 weeks.

And the countdown has begun...there is an end in sight and that end is less than two weeks away! So stay tuned...

My 37 week belly

It's pretty big now!

Halloween!

We had a blast again this year. We got to take the boys out with all my nieces which was really fun, and we had tons and tons of trick or treaters again! I don't think we had quite as many as last year, but we had over 400 pieces of candy and ran out :) (we were giving them each 2 pieces, so I imagine we had a little over 200 kids). Here are a few pictures (in random order) of pumpkin carving and Halloween night! The first pic is of me in my "costume". I asked brandon to bring home some sort of animal ear (I was thinking bunny, cat, mouse or something) and he brought home devil horns. I have always hated devil costumes so I just told everyone I was a red bull :)

You guessed it...another boring check up post :P

Headed to the doc again yesterday. 37 weeks, which happens to officially make me FULL TERM! While that means little to Isaiah, it means I can spend the next 3 weeks wondering why he's still hanging out in there, when he is good and baked already.

So anyway, I had another boring checkup. Up to 19lbs now. They say the last month your weight levels off and you stop gaining so much, but after hearing I was only up 17lbs total last week I went on a cinnamon roll and halloween candy binge. And while I don't exactly mind gaining weight, I'm feeling slightly guilty knowing he's probably in there all hopped up on sugar. My blood pressure was freakishly amazing for my end of pregnancy normal (which is usually high!) and my belly measured at 36 weeks...also very normal for me (I always measure 1-2 weeks behind and have with all the kiddos).

It was also wonderful to, yet again, go in alone (thanks Brooke!). Last week I was brave and decided to take the boys along and while they were perfect angels for me in the waiting room, all hell broke lose when we got called back. Noah flipped his lid when I gave a urine sample, and he insisted it was juice that he should be allowed to drink, and had a meltdown when I refused to let him have it, Eli threw raisins all over the room and while I was picking them up I realized that while I thought I was throwing them in the trash, I was in fact throwing them in the laundry bin, and Eli got into some drawer and pulled out one of those long sticks they use to do pap smears and threw the mother of all fits when I refused to let him brush his teeth with it. Hmmm...maybe that's why my blood pressure was so much higher last week...

Another checkup

I had my 36 week appointment today. Pretty much a typical 5 minute appointment. They did my first internal and strep test last week, so this week I just had to have my tummy poked and she listened to his heartbeat. I lost a pound last week (I was sick all week), so my total gain is 17lbs, my blood pressure was surprisingly good, his heart rate was in the 130s and my belly was right on track measuring 35-36 weeks. And now that I have hit 36 weeks...he can pretty much come with no complications. So if I were to go into labor tonight they wouldn't try to stop him :) I'm super excited to meet him, and very very ready to be "normal" sized again!

Eli's costume!

Yesterday I posted some pictures of Noah's Batman Halloween costume. And I just finished sewing Eli's so it's almost done! I still need some leggings or tights or something to keep Eli's legs covered and warm, and I need to get Noah some boots for his, but other than that we are ready for trick or treating!

And the best part is...they both love wearing them, so I won't have to worry about either boy wanting to take his costume off (I was a little worried Eli would want nothing to do with it!)

Halloween!

I love Halloween! And I really love making cheesy costumes for the boys. Last year we were the cat and the hat, thing one and thing two, and this year I have a batman and robin! Noah's costume is done...I just finished up his cape and hat a few minutes ago. And Eli's will hopefully be done tomorrow (I finished his cape, just need to work on his shirt). So...here are a few pictures from last year, and Noah's costume this year!

This is our costumes from last year!

The cape...I just added a iron on batman logo

The front! The hat I just bought, and cut slits in and sewed in some ears with felt.
