Fall Festival Fun

Yesterday we went to the Fall Festival at Mama's school. Aunt Mica and Mallory went with us because they are in town visiting. This year there was lots of stuff to do at the festival and Mallory and I had so much fun! Here are lots of pictures....

We went to school early because Mama knew that there would
be a lot of people and no parking. Before the festival started
Mama let us watch Mickey Mouse in her classroom on the
big Promethean board. It was so cool!

First stop - the bounce house!

Mallory and I went down the slide a couple of time.

Then we played "Plinko"

We both won a little pumpkin eraser.

We got to paint pictures....

.....and make bear masks

We took pictures on the bench...

....and got to pick our very own pumpkin to take home!

We had some pizza for dinner.

Firefighter Ayla!

Firefighter Mallory!

It was so much fun getting to go on the fire truck.

My friend, Lilly, was there too!

Before we left, we had some dessert.
I had a chocolate covered marshmallow and Mallory had
a chocolate covered pretzels. The Mamas both had
Salted Caramel ice cream and Mama shared some of her
with me. Yum! Yum!

Mallory is here for a couple more days so I am looking forward to having lots more fun with her!

Age 3

27 Weeks

How far along: 27 weeks + 4 days
Total Weight gain: 21 lbs. I know that I wrote this last week but that's what the doctor told me on Thursday at my appointment. :-)
Maternity clothes:  Yes, and I got a few more from my friend Kathy.
Stretch marks: Around the belly button but no news ones....still very very itchy!!! The doctor gave me a prescription for some lotions and said that I have PUPPS. I googled it and I don't think that I actually have PUPPS...regardless, it's still very itchy!
Sleep: It's still okay but I would like one night where I don't wake up at all.
Best moment in the last week: Spending the day with the birthday girl on Thursday.
Movement: Yes! I am determined to get that video!
Gender: It's a boy!
Ayla's current sibling wish: Last time I asked her she said a baby sister. When I asked who was in my belly she said "baby brother". Silly girl!
Ayla's current name choice when asked "What should we name the baby?": "Six" is still the top contender according to Ayla
Food Cravings: Still lots of sweets. Good thing I passed my glucose test!
Belly Button in or out:  It's an outie!
What I miss: Being able to do every day activities without losing my breath or getting exhausted. Doing laundry and vacuuming should not make me so tired. :-)
What I am looking forward to: Lots of family visiting within the next couple of weeks! Dave, Mica, and Mallory are coming next week for a few days and my sister, niece, nephew, cousin, and second cousin will be here the following weekend! Yay!
Weekly Wisdom: I have nothing right now. :-)
Milestones: Baby has added dreaming and breathing to his bag of tricks!
Baby Brain Moment of the Week: While making Ayla's "photo booth" for her party, I spelled her name wrong! I posted some pictures on Facebook and a friend caught it. I think I was concentrating so much on writing in the "Disney font" that I didn't even realize. Aahh!

Labor Signs: Hopefully not until the end of December!
Weekly Belly Pictures: These were actually taken at 27 weeks + 3 days

Disney on Ice

Mama and Daddy bought tickets for Disney on Ice for my birthday. We met Aubrey and her Mama and Daddy before the show to go to dinner together. Unfortunately our seats were not together at the show and nobody would switch. I really enjoyed the show even though my belly still hurt a little. I'm having those tummy issues again. I really liked seeing Mickey and Minnie and all of their friends. Here are some pictures from today.

The daddies and their girls before dinner.

We did sit with Aubrey for a few minutes at the end.
Sorry that the picture is blurry.

Phew! That was fun and exhausting

Here are also some videos from tonight. It was tricky to download them so I hope they work!
