Pregnancy Highlights!

How far along? (in picture) 21 w 4 days

Total Weight Gain: 12 lbs. give or take, I need to weigh myself...but I have been scared since I have been inhaling Halloween Candy!

Maternity Clothes: Yes! Still wearing a few tops that aren't and two pairs of jeans that aren't, too.  However, the pants are about to be a little too snug for comfort!

Gender: BOY! I am so excited to have another sweet, sweet boy!  Russell definitely has his work cut out for him when they get older!

Sleep: same, getting up about once to use the RR and tossing from one side to the other!

What I miss: feeling thinner, but with a little running (well, with a lot of running) I will feel that way hopefully, sooner than later
Cravings: Halloween Candy!!! And Italian food!!!!

Symptoms: just feeling large and pregnant

Best Moment this Week: Hearing Grace Ann talk about how we will take care of the baby and how our family will have two girls and three boys! 

Such sweet words...

Tonight, I was listening in to Russell and GA's conversation as she was brushing her teeth and it was just too cute not to record! It went something like this...

GA- " Daddy what does that cross say."
Russ- "The Lord's Prayer, baby girl (and he read it to her), remember we say it everytime we go to church."
GA- "Oh yeah, and remember God died on that cross."
Russ-"Jesus, died on the cross for us."
GA-"Why? (then she remembered) They hammered him to the cross. Ouch."
Russ-"That's right, he died for us so we could go to Heaven."

Then, GA proceeded to say how she sang songs to God in Heaven to make him happy!

Oh my heart just melted. I love this girl so much and her BIG words!  Just watching her love the Lord makes my day!

School Halloween Party and Trick or Treating!

 Russ and I both were able to attend the Halloween party at GA's school!  We enjoyed seeing her classroom, watching her interact with her classmates and eat her yummy food!  For school, she decided to go as Snow White (who is one of her favorite princesses) and for trick or treating it was Tinkerbell! Henry was a forced to dress up shark!  He looked so cute, but I know he was so unhappy about it!  Thank goodness the costume was on clearance at Children's Place! 

 Attempting to get a family picture with everyone smiling!

 Even Oscar had the Halloween Spirit with his Trick AR Treat shirt on!

Happy Halloween Everyone! 

The Sebring's are having a...

BOY!

Look in the middle of the cake!  My friend, was really trying to trick us, because when we cut into it I saw pink first! So of course I was thinking that we were having a girl and then Alecia said "Look in the middle!" And boy, (literally) oh boy was I surprised! I had two thoughts in my head: "Yay for us, two boys will be so much fun." and "Oh no, poor Grace Ann she wanted a sister SO bad!"  But we all know that God has already mapped out our lives and we have no control! Thank goodness, because I know that putting two little boys together in a room will be easier than two little girls!

We are thrilled beyond words and we know that in time Grace Ann will understand the benefits to being the only girl in our house!  Especially when she is asking her Daddy for something!

Now we need a name!



 

Halloween Bash Part 2

 Here we had the "Elephant Swing" where you wear pantyhose on your head with oranges in the feet and you swing your "trunk" back and forth to knock down the water bottles.  We all laughed so much!

 My sweet friend, Alecia! She and her husband, Jonathan were troopers to come bc they were running in a "Mud Run 5K" the next day! So impressed!

 A good shot of Russ in his very formal attire! Ha! but he and Che were shaking the "junk" in the Junk in the Trunk game. You wear a kleenex box on your bottom and try to shake out the golfball! That was extremely funny and I and several others were on the floor dying in laughter! What good sports my friends are!

I love this picture of Susie, bc she was laughing so hard and her laughter is so contagious!

WE had a great time and I can't wait for next year!

Sebring Halloween Bash 2012 Part 1

 Boy, oh boy, did we have a wild time on Friday night with our friends at our annual Halloween party! And of course, Russ and I did NOT manage to get a picture together! We were a shot gun wedding, complete with Russ in a tuxedo T-shirt carrying a shot glass and toy gun...classy I know, but it was easy and fun to put together!  I have so MANY pictures from that night that I need to take two different posts to get all the pictures in, so here are the highlights of a fun night we had with friends!

 Me and my friend, Jenn (who moved away! I miss her so much!)

 And then us with Allison, who also moved away! Bunco just isn't the same without these sweet and special ladies!

 Russ catching up with our college friends (who just moved into the neighborhood)!

 We had pirates and Pink Ladies and the T-birds!

 So to keep in theme with this year's Olympic Games, we played funny games I found off of Pinterest! 

Allison is doing "Minute to Win-It" Where you suck through a straw to move the candy from the plate to the bowl!

 Here I am demonstrating how to do the game, "Noodling." It was harder than it looked, you use spaghetti pasta and rigatoni noodles.

 The Greek God and Goddess, Chad and Natalie!

She is due with their first in April!
