Halloween

Maybe we're a little late, but here is our Halloween post. We woke up early on Saturday and made pancakes...in the shape of jack-o-lanterns. Landon thinks I am ridiculous for making festive pancakes for every holiday, but he is coming to expect them. :)

After breakfast, we carved our jack-o-lantern. Landon picked out an excellent carving pumpkin!




We put our carved pumpkin out on Halloween night for the trick-or-treaters. Landon wouldn't pose by himself with the pumpkin...imagine that. :)




Although we had a wonderful Halloween, our evening was so sad. We had NO trick-or-treaters!! None. We live in a new neighborhood where there are more houses being built than actually built, but still! I was so, so, so sad. I at least expected a few kids. Landon tried to make the situation comical by sneaking out the backdoor and ringing the doorbell...making me think we had a trick-or-treater. I was so excited to hear the doorbell ring, but so sad that it wasn't a real kiddo. Thanks for trying dearest. :)

Anyway, we hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

I can't believe we are almost 11 weeks pregnant! Time flies...especially now that I'm feeling a little better!

Here is a belly picture at 10w 2d. Landon and I both think I am showing just a little bit, but not enough for anyone to notice. :)

We are planning on making our big announcement on Thanksgiving, so we have to wait 2 more weeks to tell!! AHH! We have held it in this long though, so I'm sure we can make it. We can't imagine being more thankful right now, so Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to make our announcement. We will be 12w 6d on Thanksgiving.

We had another OB appointment yesterday... and we got to see Baby Hubb again on ultrasound. I thought we were only going in for a regular OB visit, but he did an ultrasound too! We were so excited! Baby Hubb looked perfect and is growing fast! Last time all we could see was the fetal pole and yolk sac, but this time we could actually see the little bean and make out the little arms and legs... and they were moving!! AHHH!

More pictures of Baby Hubb...

Second Anniversary!

Our second anniversary was last Tuesday! We had so much fun celebrating!! We both took the day off of work, and just spent time enjoying each other and a sunny day!

It was a perfect day for a trip to the pumpkin patch and corn maze. We went to the Orr Family Farm since it was open on a Tuesday during the day. There might have been 500 early elementary kids there for field trips...ha! None of the kids were allowed in the corn maze though, so we had it all to ourselves. They had it set up with games/activities to do inside the maze, so we wandered through the maze and completed everything in about 2 hours. The guys working there said we actually did pretty well!

That evening, we went to dinner and rented a movie. It was a perfect way to spend our second anniversary!

What a difference 10 days makes... "Morning sickness" has really hit with full force. I am nauseated and queasy all day long. I call my current state survival mode. :) I've lost 7 pounds people... 7 pounds. And I didn't have 7 pounds to lose. Hopefully this madness will stop soon. But, until then, you can find me curled in up in my bed in the fetal position...and probably begging for some Zofran melties.

Note: We are grateful for Baby Hubb and will take this sickness and be happy about it. :)

Sorry

Sorry for going over a month without posting! Pa and Claudia have asked us to post again, and Erica has been concerned about us and our lack of posting. :) All is well actually. I tried to post about 3 weeks ago about a camping trip we took with friends, but blogger erased all my pictures, and in my angst I have been ignoring our blog.

We have had a busy month! In addition to our normal weekly activities, we have had many wedding showers to attend, and birthdays, and the camping trip, and my annual continuing education conference...AND OUR 2ND ANNIVERSARY!!!!

In case I have never mentioned this before...I am so grateful for my wonderful husband! What a blessing these last 2 years have been. Marrying Landon was definitely the best decision I have ever made!!! More on our anniversary celebration later.

Check back sometime soon. Hopefully blogger will be compliant and I can post some pictures soon!!

So, I'm over week late writing this post, but we got to see Baby Hubbart last Thursday. Dr. K did an ultrasound and everything looked great! Baby Hubb was measuring at 5w 6d, which puts the new updated due date at June 4, 2010. Today, I am 7 weeks pregnant! We are so excited and so grateful that things have gone well so far. Baby Hubb looked like a little speck on the ultrasound screen, but we did see the little flickering heartbeat and we got our first ultrasound picture. :) We scanned the pictures they gave us, so they aren't exaclty clear. Here are baby's first pictures...

Landon took a picture of me and Baby Hubb, and I wish I would have taken one of him and Baby Hubb.

Landon wins the award for the most wonderful husband ever! He has been spoiling me and taking care of me. That is when I'm actually awake. :) I have never been so tired in my life. It's possible that I sleep almost as much as I'm awake, which means that my house and our entire life is being taken care of completely by hubby.

Nausea/queasiness is also setting in... Landon and I have noticed that taking a long walk helps with the nausea/queasiness. Our neighbors probably think we are crazy as we have pretty much been out walking rain or shine. We try to walk at least 1 1/2 miles a day, which makes me feel better and makes us both feel like we are doing something good for Baby. :) I know that so far I'm lucky, as most people have "morning sickness" much worse!

We love you little Baby Hubb!
