Halloween 2013

My kids LOVE the movie Wreck-It Ralph, so when Hudson suggested it for this year's Halloween costumes, I thought it was perfect! Originally Hudson had a plan for all 4 of us to dress up... Brandon as Wreck-It Ralph, me as Sergeant Calhoun, himself as Fix-It Felix & London as Vanellope. Well, Brandon wasn't quite on board, so I decided that London should be Ralph. I mean, it's kind of fitting for her personality anyway!

I bought most of the pieces for the costume, painted the golden hammer, and made the 2 patches for Hudson's costume. Semi-homemade. :)

20 weeks // Baby #3

I can't believe I'm already at the halfway mark. This pregnancy is flying by, as I figured it would being busy with 2 kids and work. This week we bought the baby's carseat & stroller, so at least we'll be able to transport him around! Last night Brandon painted the baby's room, and it looks great! Slowly but surely, it's coming together. But we are not ready to be parents of 3 yet!! I had an appointment this morning, and my doctor said baby is looking perfect. All the screenings, ultrasounds & tests have come back with great results.

how far along: 20 weeks
total weight gain: 9 pounds
maternity clothes: can still fit into a couple pairs of my regular pants, but mostly wearing maternity pants now. luckily most of my shirts have room for a bump, so i haven't bought any tops yet!
movement: feeling more each day, and even Brandon & Hudson have felt him move.
cravings: still lemonade...
missing: wine, again. it was a tough week with lots of work & a sick little girl. i definitely could have used a glass this week.

Baby looked perfectly healthy on the ultrasound.
