Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Mama, Daddy and I went trick-or-treating for about an hour in our neighborhood. We didn't go to too many houses but I got a lot of candy! Everyone kept saying how cute I looked in my Minnie Mouse costume and they liked Mama's costume too! She wore her skeleton outfit again and Daddy wore his shirt. Afterwards we went to BeBe and Pappy's house for a little bit. They had a fire in their fire pit and were sitting outside. Mama let me have one piece of Halloween candy to eat and I chose a Tootsie Pop! It was yummy! I had a great time and really like Halloween! Of course, here are lots of pictures from tonight......

Harbin Halloween 2013

Yesterday we had our Annual Harbin Halloween Party. Daddy, Mama, and I had a family themed costume again. Daddy found this idea on the internet and Mama, Aunt Michelle, and Katrin did a fabulous job making them! Mama drew the skeleton outlines on freezer paper and cut them out with an Exacto knife and Katrin and Michelle ironed on the freezer paper stencils and painted the clothes with fabric paint. I think that they turned out awesome!!! Everyone came dressed up in costume and Mama took lots of pictures....

30 Weeks

How far along: 30 weeks + 3 days
Total Weight gain: According to our scale...24 lbs. total.
Maternity clothes:  Yes, and even some of those pants are getting uncomfortable! Oh my! 
Stretch marks: Still the same ones....still a very itchy belly!
Sleep: It's okay. I've taken Benadryl for my itchy belly a few times and that makes me sleepy! :-)
Best moment in the last week: My friend Brittny came to visit this weekend! She's in Atlanta now so she drove up for the weekend and celebrated Harbin Halloween with us.
Movement: He's a mover! I'm seeing the belly move more and more and even my co-workers got a glimpse of it during planning last week.
Gender: It's a boy!
Ayla's current sibling wish: Her wish this week is a baby sister and baby brother. Well, she's getting one of the two! ;-)
Ayla's current name choice when asked "What should we name the baby?": We are back to "Baby Six".
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular but I'm enjoying all of the goodies from Germany!
Belly Button in or out:  It's an outie!
What I miss: Easy breathing! I just read on one of my apps. that the uterus is about 4 inches above my belly button and that now all of my inner organs are pretty much smooshed everywhere....lungs included. I can feel it! :)
What I am looking forward to: I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday...that means I get to hear Baby's heartbeat again!
Weekly Wisdom: Everyone has an opinion....take it with a grain of salt. Although that's easier said than done. ;-)
Milestones: This isn't really a milestone but when I put the countdown into perspective it's only about 9 1/2 weeks until my due date! That will be here before I know it!
Baby Brain Moment of the Week:  Again, there have been lots and I can't recall any of them. They happen and I'll even tell Bryan, "Remember this for my baby brain moment of the week." Oh well!
Labor Signs: Hopefully not until the end of December!
Weekly Belly Pictures:

Germany Visitors Favorites

Our Germany company left on Thursday and we miss them so much already!!! We had a great visit and took a TON of pictures. Last weekend we went shopping at Concord Mills all day. It was actually a very good considering how many kids there were shopping. We had the double stroller and two umbrella strollers to keep us all contained. Hee! Hee! I stayed home with Aunt Michelle and Katrin during the week and loved spending time with them and Kai, Nora, and Jana. Here are just SOME of the favorite pictures that we took. Most of them are courtesy of Katrin. The last couple are from Mama's camera so they are a little out of order.

Mama was so happy to snuggle with Nora when they
got here!

We wasted no time and got straight to playing!
