Halloween Party

Guess I'd better get all of my posts in before baby girl comes. My friend and I hosted a Halloween party a few weeks back and it turned out to be pretty easy and a lot of fun. We had it in her back yard and just did a pot luck dinner, newlywed game, and a movie. The newlywed game was Halloween Themed and had questions like, What is your spouse's greatest fear and Which character best fits your partner’s personality: ghost-transparent and easy to read; bat-night person-comes out at night ready to go; mummy-always wrapped up in themselves or in their work; corpse-lazy and doesn’t clean up after themselves? Matt and I did not move on after round 1 haha. Afterwards we had a screen set up and watched Poltergeist! This year Matt and I decided to go as a Shotgun Wedding Couple! I got my veil from Goodwill for $2 and and Matt just had to buy his mullet and rope. Really easy costumes. We won funniest costume (but I think Matt won and they just said it was for both of us)!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

40 Weeks 1 Day

My due date has come and gone! I know due dates really mean nothing in the scheme of things and I always said I would go late but I can't help but feel a little disappointed.  I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I am progressing so that is good news! I don't feel a thing though. No contractions whatsoever and I feel pretty good! I am sleeping really well and just feel a little uncomfortable towards the end of the day. So I guess being late really isn't that bad! I just hope she comes before my family comes on Wed. We'll see!! Here I am at 40 weeks and here is a picture of little baby squish at yesterday's appointment. I had to have  a BB ultrasound to make sure she is doing ok and she barely passed! She had 30 minutes to do 4 tasks (move, roll over, etc). One of the tasks was that she had to do breathing exercises and she would not do them! The US tech said she would give her one more minute and she finally did them with like 10 seconds to spare! I asked the US tech what I would have had to do if she didn't do them and she said she would have sent me to the hospital to be monitored! Thank goodness she pulled through in the end. The US tech said she was being a naughty baby haha. She kind of was!

I must be the oldest

I was just perusing through a recipe book my mom made for me right before I left for college and I had to share a recipe. I was spoiled as the oldest; I never had to do my own laundry and I never had to cook. Well this just goes to show that she had a lot of confidence in me!

 Recipe

Campbell's Soup
Open can
Put into pan (soup, throw can away)
add 1 can of water
heat and eat

The best part is that she HAD to tell me to pour the soup into the pan and throw the can away. hahaha. I think I've come a long way! Also I might mention the desserts section has one recipe: Ice Cream and that is all it says!
