Tanner's Orchard

This morning I went with one of my work friends, Andrea, and her son, Ian, to Tanner's Orchard. It's an apple orchard that has a cool playground and petting zoo as well as tractor rides out to pumpkin patches, corn mazes, yummy food, and other fall activities! It was my first time going and I think that it is going to become an annual thing :) It was a lot of fun! I'm glad that Andrea and Ian let me tag along! Here are some pictures from our day!

Fall is Near!

My favorite time of year is fast approaching! I love fall weather and festivities. Today the temperature was a high of 65, I love it! Pretty soon the leaves will start to change, I cannot wait!! Here is one piece of proof that the fall holidays are coming...

Blake and I look forward to these cereals being available each year! We were both thrilled to find them this week :)

This past weekend was the pumpkin festival in Morton (the pumpkin capital of the world). Blake's parents came over and we all went on Saturday. Unfortunately, by the time we got there all of the pumpkin pie, doughnuts, and cookies were gone! Such a bummer. It was nice to spend time with Blake's parents though! Blake's dad brought us over some of his home-grown pumpkins! He even painted one of them with Easton's monogram. A-dorable!

This past week we've been ordering more and more baby things! It's so exciting to start seeing things come together! We ordered our stroller/car seat combo and Easton's dresser! Here are some pictures of their assembly. I'm so thankful for such a patient and helpful husband who did all of the major assembling that they required.

Finished product! Love it!

Yesterday was the 29 week mark for my pregnancy! Can't believe it's going by so fast! I start going to the Dr every 2 weeks now. I'm sure that combined with the fall holidays and celebrations will make time fly between now and when Easton decides to make his appearance!

Today was a beautiful fall day! I couldn't help but take some pictures...

Mom and Dannah's Visit

My mom and sister came to visit Blake and I for a week! It was great having them here with us! We can't wait until they are here again! These are just a few of the pictures from while they were here. I'm not sure who will be more sad when they leave tomorrow... Me or Chinook.

27 Weeks

I'm 27 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 27 weeks 2 days
Size of baby: the size of a head of cauliflower
Total Weight Gain/Loss: lost 2 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Yup! Cant wear my jeans anymore and I am wearing mostly maternity shirts too!
Gender: It's a BOY! Easton Andrew Ginther
Sleep: Have to sleep with 3 pillows, its a tad bit ridiculous. One for my head, and one on each side of me for support.
What I miss: Not a whole lot
Cravings: Strawberry Jello, could eat it almost any time! Which is weird, because I can't even remember the last time I had jello before I was pregnant.
Symptoms: Back ache and nasty nasty leg cramps. Let the stretching begin!
Best Moment this week: Blake was able to feel Easton move consecutive times! It was amazing! Also, I'm pretty sure Easton had his first case of hiccups that I was able to feel, SO amazing! 

Baby Shower

Saturday I had my baby shower! Thanks so much to Blake's wonderful mom, sister, and aunt for all of their hard work making the event perfect! It was so much fun to get together with everyone and the girls did a marvelous job putting everything together! It was picture perfect :) Below are some pictures from the day...

We played a game where we had to try to remember as many items as we could off of this tray

I had a great time at the shower! I am so thankful for all of the hard work that everyone put into it. I am so glad that my mom and sister were able to be there for it too! Blake, Easton and I are so very blessed to have such wonderful family.
