We are almost at 7 months!

Yipes. Depending on how you look at it, time is flying by and this pregnancy is taking forever. I still haven't decided which one it is yet. Next week marks 7 months, but really it takes 10 months to cook a baby, so I've got about 3 left. One minute I feel completely ready and the next not so much. Hopefully by Thanksgiving I'm leaning more towards the ready!



Tonight Josh and the fellas (the boys) are at a christian rock concert featuring Crossover (a local band...the lead singer lives in the apartments next to us) and Red (a more widely known band of the genre). We received free tickets because we were very persistent, and I think the guys are gonna have fun.



Speaking of Josh, check out what happened to him last week.






This is what happens when the husband does not get the pregnant wife what she wants. I kid, I kid. He got slammed in the face while playing basketball. Nice huh? He's not going to be happy that I posted this, oops. Oh, and Josh loves his new basketball (a Wilson Evolution) more than he loves me. Sad but true. It's his "Christmas" gift from me. It's really hard to shop ahead for him!


In other news, we have been receiving lots of baby related items in the mail, including exciting things like a Dr. Seuss bobblehead Josh's mom found online. It's super cute, maybe I'll post a picture of it. I'm still working on the rest of the room. Should definitely get onto that, but I'm lazy. Alas.


I'm trying to figure out how to post a video because I took one of my stomach moving around. It's really creepy, but cool...in my opinion. Maybe my mom will appreciate it.

Pictures and Ducks

Alright, so as promised I am going to post some pics of what we've been up to lately.

I'm getting big...this is me with the storks at the Fort Wayne Zoo. I'm at 25 weeks in this picture.

We went to lots of cool places out west...

Hoover Dam

Grand Canyon-we went on a sunset tour, so pretty

Treasure Island in Vegas-we stayed here a couple of nights

I've also been making some things for the baby. Since we're cloth diapering, we're also cloth wiping (is that a word?). So, I made us quite the stash, all for under $10. It's just terry cloth on one side and flannel on the other. Stitched, turned, and stitched closed. To use, you wet with water or water and baby soap of your choosing. Then wash with diapers. Kinda gross, but cheaper.

I also finished my new niece's (due in a month) baby blanket.

And speaking of baby related things, Josh's mom threw his sister and I a baby shower up here at a really cute bread shop in Wabash. Here's me and Britt at the shower, where we were lavished with gifts, most of mine coming in the form of ducks. The animal of choice for gender neutral :)

Well, that was one whopper of a post. Hopefully I can keep up again now that I'm getting back in the swing of things. We're getting two new guys tomorrow, fingers crossed they're not completely crazy. You just never know. And I have my glucose test and rhogam shot tomorrow, fun fun.

p.s. Josh wanted everyone to know that he is hungry. He said he'd never read the blog again if I didn't put it. The thing is, he never reads it anyway...guess the joke's on me :)

I am a terrible blogger

So, my mom has been on my case about my lack of blogging, so I figured I better take it up again. Lots of things have been going on, so here's a quick update and hopefully I can elaborate later.

I'm busy cooking baby Bowyer, set to be born November 25th. We're not finding out what we're having, so it'll be a surprise, but everyone is leaning towards boy. I don't really have an inclination either way. I'm really starting to show and strangers comment now. Not sure if that's good or bad :)

We went on vacation to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and Utah in July. Really awesome, but super hot. I'm going to work on posting pictures here soon.

We've been releasing guys left and right, but should be expecting a few new ones once school starts. Right now we're down to 9, where we had 16 in May. Crazy how quickly things change!

I have been working really hard on lots of crafting projects. Josh and I are going to cloth diaper and I've been making wipes to go along with them and crocheting a lot. I've also been trying to figure out how to decorate baby's room and I decided on a Dr. Seuss theme. However, it turns out this is the most impossible thing to find in a fabric, so I'm going to need to be creative.

Well, I plan on posting some pictures of my projects and some vacation pictures in here this week, so be looking for that if you're reading!
