30 weeks and counting!

I can't believe I am 30 weeks pregnant already!!! Time is flying by! At 30 weeks I am doing well! This pregnancy has been so different from when I was pregnant with Abby. I am carrying a lot higher, with Abby I had fun little kicks from her all day - with this baby I feel like she is trying to kick her way out all day!!! i am also a lot more tired with this pregnancy! All that aside, so far all we really can ask for is a healthy baby, and so far she is doing great in there! We can't wait till our 32 week appointment when we will get another ultrasound and get to see our little "kicker!"

Tis the Season!

(Todd and his brother and sisters)

Every year when Mike's (Todd's brother) birthday comes around I get excited! His birthday is the first of many get togethers for our family. Between Todd's side and my side of the family we have SEVERAL birhdays in October, November & December, that and the Holidays brings us all together lots in the coming months!

We truly love having our family all so close, and love all the get-togethers! It's going to be another fun ending to the year!

Friends!!!

Thank God for girlfriends!!!!! My 'big sister' Robin could tell I was feeling really overwhelmed with all the things that I needed to prepare for with a new baby on the way. She came over and spent a whole day helping do all the 'nesting' type things I felt like I needed to do. From going through and organzing cabinets to touching up paint, to ironing and putitng together the crib again, Robin helped me do it all.

I thank God everynight for all my girlfriends!!!

Abby being silly!

Daddy took this picture one night when Mommy was at work! They where having a good time being silly!

Pretty Princess

Abby has always been our diverse girl! She loves to get dirty, play in the mudd and run around with the boys, but she also is a girly girl. She loves playing with her baby dolls, and all of her jewelry, and recently she has been into all things "princess" she likes to dress up like a princess, and loves anything with a disney princess on it!

The day I took her pics, she dressed up in her princess outfits, and than played with all her toy cars in her princess atire pushing them around saying "vrooooom"!

Our little Abby really has many diverse interests, and we love that about her!

28 weeks preggo!

I am now 28 weeks pregnant and things are going well! I have been tired as this baby seems to keep me on my toes already, I swear we have a soccer player in there!!!!! My OB appts. have been going well, I am confident that baby is growing just like she should (even with the 2 cord vessel problem) I am measuring a week ahead even!! (29 weeks!)

Our next appt. is an ultrasound in November to verify baby is growing! Keep us in your prayers that baby is growing like she should so we don't have to worry about her coming early. I am sure all your prayers so far have been what has kept her doing so well!

More pumpkin patch pics!

More pics from "the farm" Mommy's favorite part of the day was the yummy pumpkin pie!!!! Abby liked the kettle corn, and grandma liked the apple cider!

Pumpkin Patch!

We went to the pumpkin patch this week. Abby had so much fun running around, she called it "the farm". She ran on the haystacks, clucked at the chickens, and picked out a few pumpkins!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Sing with me...Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaapy Anniversary!
On October 8th Todd and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. It started out with a gift basket delivery of yummy goodies from my Mom and Dave, and Justin and Holly.

My Mom came up Saturday to watch Abby so Todd and I could go out. We got a Cinemark gift card from Todd's parents and we used it to see the movie Fireproof. It was an amazing movie, that really brought us closer together. We also ate at yummy Olive Garden!

We feel so blessed to have found eachother and be married 3 years ago! We have came a long way baby!!!!!

Teething?!? Who me?!?

Abby has been having a hard time getting her 2 year molars in! They where really bothering her so after dinner we decided to let her have a popsicle to help relieve some pain. She enjoyed it and forgot all about her teeth bothering her!

Mara's Baptism

Todd and I where honored to be asked to be Mara's Godparents. The baptism was this Sunday at Memorial Lutheran Church. The service was beautiful and we once again where reminded of how truly blessed we are to be surrounded by our family!

Fun at Grandmas house!

This weekend we went to Grandma and Grandpa Dave's house for some fun! (or just for some relaxing for Mommy) Abby had a blast being spoiled by Grandma and playing at the park with Matthew and KC

Yea Fall!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like fall time around here! The leaves are falling and the weather is cooler. Abby enjoys running and playing in all the falling leaves!

Big Girl Bed!

Abby is a big girl now - sleeping in her brand new big girl bed!!! It only took about a week, and she adjusted really well to her big girl bed, and now she is a pro!
