I'm a little late getting this posted. He's kicking a lot harder this week and has been waking me up early in the mornings feeling like he's going to push through my stomach. My cravings for this week have been Simply Orange Juice with Calcium and powdered doughnuts! YUMMY!

Monday Night

Tonight after school we went to get Jessica's hair cut. It was getting pretty long and heavy and pulling the curl out of it. She got a shampoo and everything. I'll post an after picture tomorrow after I get her ready for school.


After her hair cut we came home and had dinner and our friends Chelsea and Payton came over to make Thanksgiving cookies with us. Here are a few pictures:

Weekend update:

We had a good weekend, we helped Amy and Jason move into their new place on Friday and part of Saturday. I went to a birthday party with my nephew, Layne, and I realized that was the first time I had ever done anything with him by myself. We had a good time and it was pretty cute to watch him bowl and carry the ball all by himself (he's only 3). He was getting tired while we were there and he kept coming back to sit on my lap and cuddle up with me - such a sweetie!


Saturday after we left Amy's went to Hobby Lobby and picked out letters to hang on the wall in the baby's room. We decided this weekend on a name and since we bought letters it is now official!


We got a phone call later in the day from Jessica letting us know that she lost her second tooth! She's growing up so fast!!!


Saturday night we went to Sherri's 50th birthday party, it was so much fun. The food and music were amazing and some of the dances/dancers were quite entertaining.

This is a picture of Papa and I, can you tell who is farther along?

We are half way there! Click here to see what Brody/Jett is doing this week.

We had an appointment with our doctor today, I've been sick for about a week now and ever since Saturday I haven't felt Brody/Jett moving very much, I was also feeling a lot of pressure in my pelvis. I had a scheduled appointment next Monday so I called yesterday to see if I could get it moved up a few days, just to check things out. When I told them why I wanted to move the appointment up they kind of scared us by telling me to stay off my feet last night and drink a lot of water. They said if the pressure wasn't gone this morning that I should go to labor and delivery instead of waiting for my appointment. The pressure was a little better when I got up this morning and since my appt was at 10:50 I went ahead and just kept that instead of going to the hospital. After getting checked by my doctor we are happy to say everything is fine. She said the pressure I am feeling is probably from a pulled ligament or muscle from coughing so hard, she said to wear a belly belt (those are SO hott!) and it should feel better soon. We heard his heart beat again today and it was in the 140's, we weren't able to hear it for long because he was on the move and didn't want to be bothered!

Daddy got to feel him!

This morning Daddy got to feel him! Kevin swears he's going to be a soccer player! Jett/Brody was very active this morning and even though it was early I thought I could get away with waking Kevin up, since it was for the baby. The first few kicks he wasn't sure if it was his bones creaking/moving in his hands (yeah I know, he's getting old) but there were a few hard kicks and there wasn't any question.

I guess it's my turn

I've had a horrible headache for the past two days and last night before bed I started in with a little bit of a sore throat. By 3 o'clock a.m. I was almost in tears and could barely swallow. I went to the doctor this afternoon and needless to say...Jessica gave me her nasty strep germs! Thankfully I was able to get in to see the doc before it got too unbearable. Hopefully the antibiotics will start working quickly.

Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy

I bought this book last night at Target and I had it finished within 3 hours. I have never laughed so hard while reading a book before. For any of you that have ever been pregnant, are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, this is a GREAT book! I plan on reading the other two books in this series as well...Baby Laughs and Life Laughs.
