Halloween Part II

One of the party goers finally posted some pics from the Halloween party where Matt and Janelle went as roller girls. So here is the official evidence: Its Preggy Sue and Baby Mama!

Sorry it isn't bigger, since its not our pic, Janelle couldn't figure out how to make it any bigger. Its a little hard to tell how big the belly is in the pic, but for a little perspective this shirt used to fit Janelle just fine and hit at about the hips. Now it doesn't even cover the belly!

Halloween

We had a very busy October with Matt teaching two classes to try to save up money for Janelle's maternity leave, visits with friends and work. Check out our friend Jesse's blog exciting times (link on the side) for some pics from our pumpkin patch adventure with the Paulsons, and John and Amy. Jace documented the day!

For Halloween, Janelle dressed as a pregnant cheerleader at work on Friday and Saturday Janelle and Matt both went as roller derby girls. It was quite the sight to see with Matt dressed in a skirt and fish nets and Janelle wearing a half shirt with temporary tattoos on her belly. We didn't personally get pics but there are some out there somewhere....

We got several trick-or-treaters and many parents were very congratulatory when they saw our pumpkins.

Unfortunately we have fallen behind in taking belly pics, hopefully soon when we get new batteries for the camera! Janelle is feeling kicks all the time now and if you look closely they can even be seen on the outside from time to time!

5 Months!

We're more than half way there! Today marks the end of the fifth month of pregnancy for Janelle! In the last two weeks we've added a new chair and rug to the nursery and Janelle has started feeling the baby move and kick multiple times a day now. Matt has even gotten to feel some kicks over the last few days. Its exciting that now the baby is big enough to share this experience with both mom and dad!

Although it may be hard to tell from the picture, Janelle's belly has grown quite a bit over the last couple weeks as well and there is no mistaking that she is pregnant at this point.

Half Way!

Whew, we made it to 20 weeks! Its amazing to think that in just about 4 1/2 short months we will have a brand new baby GIRL!!!! in our arms. We found out the sex about a week and a half ago and we are over the moon with excitement that we will be having a daughter! Of course the ultrasounds aren't 100% but the tech was quite confident that there will be a member of team pink joining our family.

We have been working on the nursery and have finished the painting. Thanks so much future Uncle John! He drew on the rolling hills which turned out adorable and Matt and John had a beer and pizza night painting. We put on some decals of owls, mushrooms, birds, and hedgehog, which are super cute! Its definitely coming together. We have bought (and received!) some very very cute baby girl clothes and can't wait to see her in them!

Janelle is really starting to show now and likes that it is obvious she is pregnant now but not so big that she's super uncomfortable.
