Bubble Baths are OUT!!! (Unless you have a crane!)

After a very uncomfortable Monday, on my way home from work, I said that I would come home and take a nice bubble bath!! Matt has class Monday nights and doesn't get home until late, so it's a perfect opportunity for some me time!


So I light some good smelling candles and get my bubble bath going!! Perfect right!?!? Ha!! I think God is just prepping me for life with kids-- that I will never get a chance for a bubble bath or if I do it will be real quick because our faucet doesn't hold the water in the tub (so the water has to be constantly running :0) ). I hop in the bath tub and instantly realize how small it is!!! I thought I would try shaving my legs... I did get them shaved but what a feat! Nor was it as comfy as I thought it would be. The baby was NOT happy!

After that I decided to lay back and relax. Ha Holy Hannah! That did NOT feel well maneuvering into a position to get comfy. So I get half comfy! Then the cat strolls into the bathroom and starts playing with the shower curtain. Next thing I know he came leaping into the bathtub with me!! Nice. He goes running off and I'm laying there wondering how I'm going to get back up. As I'm looking around I realize that I will never be able to take pics of the baby in the bath tub because around our tub is a nice beautiful black line of crap that doesn't come up for anything. It has even been caulked over and it still shines it's beauty. Bath time is over..... this totally wasn't enjoyable... it smelled great!! So then I try getting up. Haha!! Ya. Got stuck... decided to wait until Matt got home. Then I thought that could be a really long time. Moved a little.... got stuck again. :0) By time I got to an upright position I could hear our garage door opening and I had an inch of water left in the tub. Haha... so I decided to wait for Matt to help me out!! What a look I got from him!

Long story short.... I have added a giant jacuzzi tub to my Christmas list and have realized I can't take a bath unless I have someone around to pull me out!

So I hear that these birthing rooms at hospitals have giant jacuzzi tubs!!!!!

Carving Pumpkins... Halloween... Now we're in the second week of November!! Oh Boy!

Okay, Okay... so I'm so not good at updating this!! (It hurts like heck sitting at the computer.) Nor am I really in the mood to backtrack my last three weeks... cuz I really don't remember details. So here's my best summary!

Matt and I carved pumpkins! Yay... here's a pic of that....


LOL, funny picture. I look like a blueberry!

Matt's is on the Left, I'm on the right!

Then for Halloween Dave and Lisa hosted a Halloween get-together at their house!! We had pizza (Thanks to Dave & Lisa), some yummy pumpkin bars (thanks Mom!), and some spider cookies I made!!
We also made ghost suckers!!

So the kids went out Trick or Treating! It was so much fun to see all the trick or treaters that came!! There are some creative kids out there!!

Ruger even dressed up in his Hot Dog Costume!!

As the night came to a close, Lisa took Matt for a Diaper Changing Lesson! So Matt changed his first diaper AND put Joshua in his pajamas!!

Baby News:

We are now 33 1/2 weeks along! I was having a lot of braxton-hicks contractions a few weeks ago and cut my hours and it has definitely helped! I'm now working 3 days a week instead of four!

My last appt was last week Wednesday! What a fun appt! As the Dr was checking for a heart beat, he was trying to feel how she was positioned... in doing that, the heartbeat went way up and the baby started squirming around. So he rubbed my stomach a min and the heartbeat went back down! So then I did the same thing! It's fun to "hear" and "feel" the baby respond to you!!
I also got to see our little girl again! My Dr did another ultrasound because he couldn't tell the position she was in. What a difference from our ultrasound at 19 weeks! Before you could see almost all of her in the picture... now you can only see a head, or butt, or legs! She has grown so much!! Baby G was in the most uncomfortable position... which makes me extremely uncomfortable. She is diagonal across my stomach with her head in my ribs and butt resting on my hip with her feet right infront of her face!! The Dr says she will be taller than me by time she is two :0) Nice.... So hopefully in the next few weeks here she flips!

It's crazy thinking in a few weeks if I go into labor they aren't going to stop it!! A month from now I could have a baby in my arms!!!!!! Wow!! Matt is definitely getting to the point where he is getting a little overwhelmed!

Here are weeks 31 and 32 of the Growing Belly. I'm also adding them to a previous post so you can scroll down and see the change from pic to pic!

Week 32 Day 1:

Week 32:


Sorry bout the panty shot! :0) I can't see down there and the hubby failed to tell me those puppies were hanging out!!


Ruger poses each time we take these shots!! So I figured I should put one on here with him in it!
