This week we met Eric's 2nd grade teacher at Back to School night. She seemed really nice and Eric seems to enjoy going to school. His teacher has asked for parent volunteers during the week so I am looking forward to going in again to help out in the classroom on Wednesdays when Mom is off to watch Jacob.
Friday I had my 30 week doctor appointment. Baby is doing great and has a strong heartbeat! I get to have another ultrasound at the end of the month due to my high blood pressure, which thankfully has been great since I'm on the medication.
While I was on my way home from picking up Jacob from school on Friday, Manda called me and said her and Mommom stopped at a yard sale that had 3 wooden rocking chairs. She knew I was looking for one for the baby's room. I met them there and scored a pretty nice one for only $10. I figured since I was buying a used one I would have to paint it, but this one is in such great shape that I am just going to make a cushion for it and hang the crib quilt on the back.
Saturday we took the boys to Lowes to build a fire truck then headed to the fire house for Community Day. The day was a huge success with over 300 people in attendance. Eric was a big help with the obstacle course...he loved helping to run one of the stations!!! Everyone really seems to enjoy it, which makes all Jim (and my) hard work worth it!
My favorite picture....Jim and his dads...all with the same stance!!!
The crowd of people that came....watching the live burn.
Boys sitting inside the helicopter.
Saturday night Jim and Dad went to the Hunter's Banquet so Mom and I went out to dinner with the boys. Mom let them pick where they wanted to go....they chose Red Lobster!! They love the mozzarella cheese sticks there, and ate them all! (Well, I had a couple). A little scared of what our food bills are going to be as they get older!!!
Last week Jacob made playdough at school. He has been asking to make it at home but I didn't know what recipe his teacher used. Well, Monday he must have asked his teacher for the recipe so at pick up she made sure to tell me what she used. So, Monday afternoon Jacob and I made orange playdough and made lots of "characters"....snowmen, pumpkins, caterpillars.....
All weekend I've had a stuffy nose, sore throat and a really annoying dry cough. Thinking it's just allergies and everything draining, but other than my allergy medicine, there really isn't much else I can take. Typically I would take cold medicine to help but not this time. Some days are better than others, but night time is the worse....hoping it clears sooner rather than later!!!
How far along? 31 weeks- counting down weeks
in the single digits now!!!
Maternity clothes? Loving
being able to wear some of my fall stuff, bought a couple pair of pants this week.
Sleep: sleeping well at night, could be
better without a stuffy nose though.

baby’s heartbeat at the doctor on Friday…best sound ever!
