27 1/2 Weeks

27 1/2 Weeks with Baby Girl Sheridan
 
 
27 Weeks with Finn
 
 
Pretty sure this little girl isn't so little, haha! Still don't weigh near what I did at this point with Finn so that's good.  I had my gluocose test today and should get my results in a few days.  Praying for a continued healthy pregnacy and healthy baby!
 
 
This time is going by so fast! We just got started clearing out the office to move Finn in and he should be settled in his new room by the weekend.  Then its time to paint and set up BG's furniture!  I got her bedding in the mail this week and I love it.  I can't wait to see how her room comes together, its going to be sooo girly.:-) 
 
In case anyone is wondering, we do have a name for this sweet little girl, but have decided to keep it to ourselves until she is born.  This is quite annoying to most of our family members, which makes it all the more fun. 
 
And just so I don't forget, Finn calls her "Sister" and when you ask her where his baby sister is, he will sometimes point to my belly and other times point to his belly.  I think he's a little confused,  ha!  I feel a little guilty at times about how much this is going to rock his world, but I know he is going to be a great big brother!
 

Pumpkin Pictures 2012 or Reason #63 Finn Will Need Therapy One Day

So most of you probably remember Finn's pumpkin picture from last year, but just in case you missed it, here is a refresher.
So yeah.... Doesn't get much cuter than that right? 

We really wanted to do it again this year, but we knew we were going to need a MUCH bigger pumpkin for our big boy.  We found one at the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago, paid a rediculous amount of money for it and hauled it home.

None of these are edited, but these are my favorites so far.....








And just a few fun pics from that afternoon playing in the yard.
 When exactly did he stop being a baby and turn into such a big boy!?!
 Blurry, but I just love the look on his face.  And, let's face it, it's practically impossible to get picture of an 18 month old that isn't a little blurry, ha!

Pumpkin Patch 2012

On Saturday, we headed out to Motley's Pumpkin Patch here in LR.  We all had the best time and I am so excited for this to become a yearly tradition!  I would even go back again this year, it was that much fun!  If you live in Central Arkansas you really need to check it out.  They have a petting zoo, hayrides, pig races(hilarious), a cow train, hay bales and swings for the kiddos and obviously pumpkins! AND it's also a Christmas tree farm, can't wait to go back this December and cut down our tree.
 
Not sure what he was pointing at, but I'm guessing the tractor that was pulling the hayride.  LOVES tractors!

 Not sure which is cuter, the bottom lip in the top picture, or this cute little booty!


 Finn and I rode the cow train. About 20 seconds into the ride I realized what a huge mistake I had made.  Who knew how bumpy that thing would be! When it was over, Jeff took one look at me and said "your face is so red, give me Finn you need to sit down and rest". Music to my ears! So while the boys went on a second ride, I sat in the shade with my drink and the camera. 
 Daddy's turn.....

He was over the top happy/excited about the petting zoo

 Just watching the animals
 SOOOO Excited about the tractor!

Happiness

This picture just makes me so happy!  I can still hear his belly laugh and the motor boat sounds he was making while "surfing".  We have about 100 pictures of him doing this from the week, but even if there wasn't a single one, I will always remember this moment. 

Family Pics on the Beach

I had been planning on getting familly pictures on the beach since we booked our vacation.  I thought out exactly what I wanted the boys to wear and started scooping out good spots by our house the moment we got there.  BUT, I'm pregnant and therefore, can barely remember where I parked my car most days.  I completely forgot to pack something other than tshirts and shorts for me so I had to go to Target the night before and search for something that would work, fun times when your pregnant. Then of course Finn was tired from a long day on the beach and not the most cooperative.I think he screamed and cried 90% of the time that we shooting.  We took approxiamately 350 pictures to get these 20 or so good ones.  And we waited until Thursday to take them so there wasn't alot of time for make ups, since we knew that on Friday we would want to stay on the beach soaking up our last few hours of vacation.
 
Even with all of that, I think they turned out awesome.  Now I just have to choose which ones to frame!  Suggestions?
 
 
 Love these two!



 He was pretty much only happy when running away from us, haha!



 Trying to trick the boy into thinking he's having a good time.
 The next three are my favorites for a big one, but I can't decided which I like best.



 love Finn's serious face.



 "What? You don't want me to lay down and roll around in the sand?"
