Baby Update - 32.5 wks

We went to the Dr this morning. Everything is going well! Again all good reports. Juliette's heart rate was 158. She is growing right on track. I am measuring 34 weeks. I didn't gain a whole lot, enough. My blood sugar looks good and blood pressure is normal (110/60). The Dr filled out the paperwork to get us scheduled for a csection. We should know the date next time we go to the Dr. YAY!!!!

I have started having leg cramps and BOY do they hurt. Not much i can do about them i just need to complain about something. Sleep is starting to be difficult not because of her kicking but because i just can't get comfortable. But i think that is all my issues currently.

The Dr said after 34 weeks i am to limit travel. So we are going to Meridian this weekend but that is the last time until after she gets here. WOW it is starting to get close to time. We are going Trick or Treating in Meridian tomorrow night. I will post the pictures next week, plus the pictures from Boo at the Zoo.

Pumpkin Carving


We carved our pumpkins last Thursday night! He had fun! I tried to get creative with carving and i think they turned out well. We decided to let Jackson paint his pumpkins. He loves to paint!!!

Making Cupcakes

OK!! I had another craving the other night, I wanted cupcakes! So we decide to make them. I thought Jackson would enjoy this. Him and his Daddy enjoyed themselves. Jackson was a big help. As i watched i noticed that Jackson is going to be like Jonathan. When he is working hard at something or concentrating they both stick their tongues out and slightly bite. You can notice this in the pictures. He watched through the glass oven door them cook just waiting to eat them. Jackson is going to be a perfectionist like me. He wants everything perfect. So when it came to decorating the cupcakes he placed one sprinkle on at a time, in the precise location he thought it should be.

Ok imagine this. Jackson has just spent the past 45 minutes baking the cupcakes and the past 30 minutes decorating HIS cupcake. He shows his daddy his masterpiece and he is so PROUD. Jonathan and I have just praised him for working so hard!! So he starts to eat his masterpiece. As he starts to eat/lick the icing the cupcake breaks into and hits the floor. OH NO!!!!! It was like the end of the world just happened he starts this TANTRUM like no other. But keep in mind i still have 15 other cupcakes, luckily i had not decorated all of them. So once we get him to calm down he realizes "oh i can go get another" he is back to the proud and happy Jackson. Then he starts his decorating which again takes at least 20 minutes. But when he goes to eat this one he is sitting at the table over a plate. Also in the the pictures you will notice he LOVES the icing and licks it off and wants another one, leaving the cake behind! We had fun and all enjoyed the cupcakes!!!

I am ADDICTED!! (to a certain baby website)

"Hello my name is Jennifer and i am an addict." HAHAHAHA to a baby website. I am finding it hard to even give out the info because i don't want people to steal the deals under me! HEHEHEHE!! But admitting you have a problem is half the battle. The website only sales one thing a day for usually half price and once its gone its gone. They have some of the cutest stuff. I have not bought a whole lot only because i am trying really hard not to spend a lot of money. But just the fact of once it is gone it is gone makes me want to buy it. I did buy the blanket on today's steal. So here is my secret (not so secret now) website:

I can't wait to see what tomorrow's steal is going to be!!!!

Let me know what you think!!! Try to over come the urge to purchase everything because it is hard!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We went to the Pumpkin Patch Saturday in Harpersville (just down the street from us). Jackson had a blast (pictures below). There was a lot to do, hay ride, pumpkin field, hay stacks, petting farm, ride on tractors, cotton bin, hay maze, and corn maze. We spent the majority of the morning there. Plus it had rained on Friday so it was muddy. Jackson was ready to go by the time we left. This coming up weekend we are going to relax and maybe go to Boo at the Zoo.

As you can tell we are trying to fit a lot into a short amount of time. We want to give Jackson all our attention because we know what is coming but believe he really doesn't know what new baby means. Jonathan and i love him so much and can't get enough. I just hope we are not spoiling him (HAHAHA)!

Also on the Meridian front we have not been home in awhile but there is lot going on there. My mom and Dad decide to open a new business. A quick stopped called B&D's Quick Stop, it is located up the road from their house. Good luck to them. I am ready to go home and check it out!

If i don't get a chance next week to say it HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITCH AND LINDSAY!!!
