North Logan Pumpkin Walk

Jeff & I aren't huge on Halloween (except for the eating candy part), but one tradition we've had since the first year we've been here has been the Pumpkin Walk. The displays are so funny, so well thought out, and perfectly executed! Whenever we go, we leave with a smile on our faces and our phones filled with pictures of it all! This year, Jeff took his lunch break to go with us during the day. Less crowds, ya know? The displays were all so awesome, but we totally geeked out when we saw they had a Hamilton display! Oh, we adore Hamilton in our house & Paige is pretty sure it's the only music that exists-- whoops. And the Jimmy Fallon display!? Also, SO GOOD. And I looooved that they put Justin Timberlake up there with him. No better pairing. Paige was actually terrified of the displays because maybe she thought they were real people? She wouldn't let us put her down, but she still had fun once we got to the face-in-hole part. But anyway-- pictures.

Bumpdate: Week 30

How far along? 30 weeks!

Total weight gain? About 10-15 lbs? Maybe? Again, I have no idea.

Maternity clothes? Yes!

Sleep? Somewhat terrible. I'm getting to the point where I'm so big, comfort is not even an option. Also, this child likes to bust his way through my stomach right when I'm trying to fall asleep, so there's a slight issue there. 

Best moment this week? Getting to hear our little boy's heartbeat for sure! Paige gets so excited every time we go to the doctor because she gets to hear "brother's boom boom"! 

Worst moment this week? I mean, it wasn't the worst moment, but it wasn't one of my finer moments for sure. Jeff had asked me early in the day if there was anything specific I wanted for lunch & the only thing I wanted was potato chips. So he goes out for lunch to get the both of us sandwiches & buy the chips I so desperately needed and came back without the chips. And of course instead of getting angry, I very calmly burst into tears. You know, a normal reaction. Apparently I scared Jeff enough with my hormones that he ran out immediately and got me my chips haha.

Miss anything? Getting up without grunting, bending over, being able to breathe properly, a lack of heartburn, and sleep ;) But not much.

Movement: All the time! It's so crazy-- I feel like Paige never moved this much, but it's been so long that I could be completely wrong. But he's definitely strong! If I'm sleeping, his kicks/punches are strong enough to wake me up!

Food craving/aversions? Haha chips, obviously. But usually the only thing I can keep down are juice and smoothies, so we've had quite a few Jamba runs this past week.

Have you started to show yet? Haha yes, definitely. 

Gender? Still like, 99% sure it's a boy.

It's been a whirlwind of a pregnancy for sure. I feel like it's completely flying by and that I have almost no time left! I feel so stressed & so behind on things, but then I remind myself that with Paige, we were 100% ready by like, 24 weeks, which is crazy. Plus, I'm waiting for all the good black friday deals! I have had a few nesting moments where I've cleaned out all of Paige's old clothes to make room for baby's clothes, organized rooms, wiped down baseboards and dusted ceiling fans and vacuumed like a mad woman, so really I think the only thing left is the shopping aspect. Easy enough! We've scheduled an induction date (December 26th) so we only have 9 weeks left! So soon, and we're so excited! Our one Christmas present to ourselves & it'll only be here a day or two late :)

Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday, we ventured out to get some pumpkins so we could do some pumpkin decorating before Halloween actually happens (less than a week, are you serious!?). We would have gone earlier except we're super lazy and sometimes Saturdays are just meant to be spent in your pajamas, ya know? Also, picking them closer to Halloween means they'll be less likely to go bad by Halloween. Win, win, win.

Paige was so excited, of course, to pick out her very own "cumpin" (which we are trying so hard to change to pumpkin, but it's just too cute haha) and one for baby brother obviously. We tried 2 patches before we found pumpkins that were totally our style & price. And of course I bought way more than we actually needed because I'm crazy and also because they were 25 cents and SO CUTE.

Here are some pictures and stuff :) (Also, side note: I am terrible at getting pictures of Jeff, but I'll be better. He hates having his picture taken, so I'll have to get sneakier for sure.)
