Finally a new post!

Sorry about the delay on the posting of the blog. We both have been crazy busy with the car accident, Thanksgiving, and of course Jon's birthday.

I haven't gained any weight since between doctor visits. Last Tuesday was my last visit and it was just a check-up. Everything is good, I started having a couple of braxton-hicks contractions. At my next doctors appointment I am getting my cervix measured. Hayden is running out of room in my tummy and is sometimes uncomfortable.

Today we started putting up Christmas decorations around the apartment, just getting ready for the holidays and we are pretty much ready for everything! Hadyens room is completely ready and we have 4 cases of diapers which should get us through the first week! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and we promise to keep you updated more often from here on out!!

Only psycho people play bingo...

So last night we ended up going to a bingo hall outside of Seattle because I have never played bingo before. We had already tried our luck at the slots and roulette tables and decided to do something different.

Let me tell you, people are crazy in those places. People had like 5 different colors to mark their bingo sheets, and some had buddas and flowers in front of them. We sat next to a group that lost their seat to one woman and ended up complaining the rest of the 3 hours about it. They complained to security, themselves and everyone around them. Despite all that, I had a blast!

We had some close calls, but I guess you can't expect much when you have crazy people with 4 or 5 sheets in front of them. Jon and I just had one a piece plus a warm up section. I didn't realize bingo was such cheap entertainment. We also ate at the casino restaurant and I got excited when they had chocolate cream pie!

Hayden is still doing well, he likes to stretch out now since he is losing room. This morning when Jon and I woke up you could see his long skinny body in my tummy, it was kind of cool. He is very healthy still and I am due for an appointment on November 13. We will keep you updated.

Trick-or-Treat, Smell my feet

Well last night was Halloween and we went out and bought 2 huge bags of candy for the kids in the area. Lets just say we still have 1 and 9/10 of those bags left. We got five trick-or-treaters 2 younger kids and 3 older ones; one even forgot his costume so he just got a small kit-kat, silly kid.

Before that, Amanda came down to the nursing home and helped direct some kids around as they trick-or-treated to our residents. We had about 100 come through in the end. I will put up some pictures later, Amanda went as a witch and I was an 80's rocker.

It was a good time, but I really wish we would have had more kids come by our place. Well, now we at least know not to take Hayden around here next year.

Weekend News... Those darn Packers

So the cheesehead picture almost disappeared off the blog, but Brett Farve had to go and turn just one play to end overtime. Anyway, Jon and I went out last night to watch the game and had a good time.

Hayden is still doing well, rolling around in my tummy like always. He likes to sleep on one side of my tummy, depends on if I am sleeping on the left or right. He prefers the right however, because then he can sleep on his back.

We are finally getting Hayden's room ready so we will take pictures once everything is all put in order and post them. We have a play-yard all set up and a new dresser that took us awhile to put together without a tool set and good directions. We eventually got it put together though! Well that is all that is new, if anything changes we will let everyone know.

Check Up

Had another appointment today and everything couldn't be more perfect. I drove down to Portland yesterday and ended up going to Jazzercise with my mom. Hayden must have enjoyed the music because he was dancing in my tummy while I was working out. At least that is what I want to believe otherwise Hayden probably wasn't too happy with me.

Today I went to see the doctor and was told "You have a perfect baby." Those were her exact words. I have gained 4 pounds since my last visit, and Hayden is growing more and more each day. The doctor tole me my tummy is at full length even though Hayden is not yet. She estimated he is about 17 inches and about 6.5 lbs. His heart beat is in the 130s and he couldn't be more healthy.

Hump Day!

As the week is ending I am getting ready for my drive down to my doctors appointment on Friday. I am not sure if I am due for another ultrasound or test but it may just be a check up. Hayden and I are doing well. Hayden's movements are now seen on the outside of my belly as you can see from the video. He is running out of room so my tummy just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I am not having the pregnancy cravings yet, but I am starting to get crabby at moments (poor Jon). I am sleeping better, however, last night Jon said that I must of had a rough night or at least Hayden did because I was breathing heavily and every time I exhaled Hayden gave a kick.

Hayden's room is filling up with all of the new stuff we have got him. I am getting more and more excited that he is coming and trust me Jon is thrilled to go shopping at moments too, even though he may claim it is all my doing. There are moments however he does have to drag me out of the baby department, but I can't help it. There are tons of cute clothes and toys out there!!!!

Don't worry I will keep everyone updated about the doctors appointment!
