27 weeks!

I finished my 27th week on Wednesday. It's gone really fast but I’m definitely feeling it and looking it lol. I had my dr's appointment on Thursday and everything looks good. I had my glucose test and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat which took her awhile to find since he is so active and is all the time kicking and punching and doing somersaults :). It's hard to believe that after my next appointment i will start going every two weeks. I know these next few months will go fast with all of the holidays but needless to say i am starting to count down for the big day. It's definitely much harder this time around chasing a toddler and not getting to rest as much as I should. We've started making progress on the boys room and had Gavin's big boy bed delivered on Thursday. We probably won't transition him until closer to his birthday after all the holidays but he is excited about his new bed and I think that will help make the transition easier. Just don't want to do it too soon since he sleeps so well in his crib now. Enjoy the new belly pic, it's getting bigger :).

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Gavin was a cow this year and he looked so cute in his costume and actually did a good job trick or treating… much better than we expected. We were in Des Moines on Saturday for the ISU game so we took him to a few houses in Ryan's parents neighborhood and he did great walking up to the houses and picking out candy and saying thank you... wasn't shy at all once he got the hang of it. He also got to experience a tootsie pop for the first time that night and loved it. We had our trick or treating last night so we took him to a few of our neighbor’s houses and he made sure to pick out his favorite the suckers whenever available! Enjoy the pics below from Halloween and there are also a few from a few weeks ago when we took Gavin on the Pumpkin express train ride and had a quick visit from my aunt Marla who finally got to meet Gavin for the first time. We are getting ready to head up to Iowa tomorrow for Election Day and spend the night with my mom and watch the votes come in. Should be an exciting night!
