Pregnancy Round 2

So I realized that I have yet to do any blog posts about this pregnancy, and now I am almost done! Just one week left!

This pregnancy has been pretty similar to my last pregnancy, not too rough (fortunately).
The first trimester I was exhausted and nauseous, but that only lasts a couple of months. Actually, my biggest pain during this pregnancy was due to a rib I essentially coughed out of place when I had a nasty cold, but the chiropractor took care of that. 
My muscles have been more sore this pregnancy, and I think my bladder MUST have shrunk, but other than that I can't complain.

Here is me at 28 weeks:

And these last few are at 36 weeks.

This is my "Brad will you just take the picture" face. 
He was playing with the new camera features with the IOS7.


Baby girl has definitely dropped, and because of that my belly actually looks and measures smaller. If I am still pregnant next Tuesday they will do another ultra sound to make sure everything looks good, but I am hoping I won't make it that far!

October Family Fun

This month, we have been trying to have some extra-fun family time with Afton before baby girl #2 arrives. 

Conference weekend the weather was so nice, we decided to do a spur of the moment family picnic to our neighborhood playground. 

Can you tell Afton loves slides?



Another weekend, Brad took the day off of work and we made a family trip to Sea World to enjoy the Halloween festivities! Afton LOVED the Pets Alive and Elmo show. She was not a big fan of the sea lion show.

Last weekend, our awesome realtors threw a little pumpkin house. Complete with a bounce house and treats! Afton loved the bounce house. She doesn't really jump, but she did bounce and roll around. We had a hard time getting her out of there.

Here is Afton trying to pick out a pumpkin to take home :)

Isn't her Halloween outfit adorable?

An adorable video of Afton with the pumpkins:

Swinging with Daddy!

Family of three, soon to be a family of four!

Afton's First Party

Afton got was invited to her first "real" birthday party this month. 
At least her first party that had actual games and activities.
I think I had more fun than she did :)

Making up her own game.

Playing pin the tail on the donkey. 
No one wanted to wear the blindfold, all of the other kids put the tail where it belonged.
Afton put her tail on the head of the donkey.

"Blowing" the kazoo. She really just made a high pitched hum. 
Most of the time the kazoo was in her nose.

Oh and she likes cake now! Since she denied me the pleasure of making a mess of her own birthday cake, I thoroughly enjoyed watching her make a huge mess with her cupcake :)

Reading With Afton

Afton LOVES books. She will literally spend 30 minutes flipping through her books. 
She used to let me read books to her, but lately she only lets me read a couple pages before she takes over.
One of my favorite things she does is read books out loud. After months of failed attempts, I finally caught her reading on camera! 

Enjoy.
