28 week update

I don't have a lot of new updates as of right now. I did have my 28 week appointment on Tuesday and all is well! I passed the glucose screening (thank goodness!), so that's one less hurdle. I have to say, this whole pregnancy thing hasn't been bad at all... knock on wood! At the appointment, Emma Kate's heart rate was 150 and the doctor was "pretty sure" she is head down (as she's been for a while... again.. they "think"). It's been so much fun feeling and SEEING her move around in there. Sometimes I catch myself stop what I'm doing and just watch. I now see what everyone is talking about when they say they miss being pregnant once the baby is born. It's such a neat experience! I don't, however, see how people go through it 18+ times like that crazy TV show on TLC :) I haven't been taking belly pics like I hoped, but here's one as of 28 weeks.


I have strangers ask me on a daily basis how far along I am, when I'm due, or if I'm having a boy or girl :) One day, I actually encountered a lady at Target who felt the need to point out to me that "I have a baby in there." No joke. She actually pointed at my belly and told me "you have a baby in there." Shocked... I just said "yes. I do..." And she just giggled and walked off. Oh, man.
We've been busy working on the nursery but it's not complete yet. The changing table is in place and we've got the crib all set up with the beautiful bedding!

 I decided to get crafty and have painted a few things for the walls. I will post pics once I get the room a little more organized. Promise :)

Happy Halloween!

Being that our neighborhood is somewhat new, we weren't surprised when we had ONE trick-or-treater all night long. A few nights before, we had a few people over for chili, carved pumpkins, and were finally able to use our burn pit! Here's a pic of our front porch -- we love our pumpkin on the door (thanks to Rachael and Chris!)
