2012 Puntin' Party!

Every year, my Aunt Tamie throws her annual Puntin' Party at her house for Halloween.  It's a rather FUN event because we go to her house, carve puntin's (pumpkins), eat lots of goodies and have a bon fire.  She goes all out and decorates her whole garage, does some interesting foods and has activities for the little kids as well.  She also judges the carved puntin's and costumes as well and has prizes.  Anyways, this past weekend was her Puntin' Party and here are a few images from it.  Looking forward to next year's party already! Thanks Aunt Tam!!!

Cat Litter Dessert... I made this... isn't it awesome??

Jello Worms! Don't they look real?? Thank you Pinterest!

Mummy cakes :)

This was my costume for the night

I carved this puntin'... only took me about 2.5 hours to do but it won for the best carved puntin' for the adults

My cousin Amanda carves this puntin' every year for our cousin Meghan and then we take it up to the cemetery for her... we call him Charlie :)

We ain't afraid of no ghost! Hehe! Family tradition to take Meghan her puntin'!

Baby H in 3D/4D

We had a 3D ultrasound last week Thursday at Stork Vision in Eau Claire :) Baby H was very content and did not want to wake up and kept hiding behind things so we didn't get the best images so we are going to revisit Stork Vision in a couple weeks to see if Baby H will cooperate more... (yes, the Powell is coming out already with the stubbornness! LOL) But here are a few images we did get. Enjoy!

26 & 27 Weeks...

I'm a little behind so I won't do my 26th week stuff....

How far along? 27 weeks, 3 days

Weight gain: Nada...none :)

Baby Weighs: around 2.5lbs now

Maternity clothes? Finding my fall coats are a little snug now!

Sleep: Sick of laying on my sides!!!! grrrrr!!!! And to add to it... a COLD! Yuck!!!

Best moment of the week: Coming into the 3rd trimester :) 12 weeks to go!

Miss anything? Being able to take cold meds cuz a netty pot just doesn't do it for me!

Movement: Lots of kicks now, baby is head down as well.  Cody claims the baby doesn't like him because each time he puts his hand on my belly to feel kicks it stops kicking! LOL!

Food cravings: You would think with the amount of Vitamin C I get with my gallons of orange juice I wouldn't get sick but I did! Dang it!  Otherwise, nothing new to the cravings.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on :)

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy but getting more tired like the 1st trimester...ugh!

Looking forward to: Counting down the weeks now and mom and dad's cabin will be getting built next week so that's exciting! Also looking forward to my Chesney dog being home cuz he had surgery today and they want to keep him overnight and I miss him like crazy!!

Bill Cosby on Childbirth...LOL

We watched this at the end of our first child birthing class last week. I thought I was going to pee my pants watching this I was laughing so hard!

25 Weeks...

How far along? 25 weeks, 5 days

Weight gain: Still nothing... yay!

Baby Weighs: should be about 2lbs now

Maternity clothes? Yup, but getting sick of wearing the same things over and over

Sleep: Sick of laying on my sides!!!! grrrrr!!!!

Best moment of the week: Hmmm... nothing in particular this week

Miss anything? Being able to wear my high heels

Movement: Kicking more and more each day

Food cravings: Chili ... and I still haven't ate it, maybe tomorrow though :)

Wedding rings on or off? Still on :)

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy but tired...

Looking forward to: Starting our birthing classes tomorrow night... well, I'm looking forward to it but Cody isn't... he thinks he already knows it all since he sees birth every day at the farm... whatever :( LOL

24 Weeks...

How far along? 24 weeks, 3 days

Weight gain: Still nothing

Baby Weighs: 1.6 lbs at our ultrasound

Maternity clothes? Yup

Sleep: Not too bad

Best moment of the week: When we got to see our little peanut last week

Funny moment of the week: Weird dreams... last night Michael Bolton showed up in one, weird!!!

Miss anything? Being able to sleep on my stomach

Movement: Kicking more and more each day

Food cravings: Beef stew... thanks mom!

Wedding rings on or off? Still on :)

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy

Looking forward to: Nothing too exciting coming up

Ultrasound

We had an ultrasound today because they didn't get all the images they wanted the last time we had one done.  Everything looked great and Baby H is in the 51% percentile :)  She or He is weighing in at around 1.6lbs and had her/his feet up by it's face today (flexible!).  We won't have any more ultrasounds done unless something comes up and I guess that I'd rather have a healthy pregnancy over more ultrasounds.  Here are 2 pictures we got today :)

Still looking like Achmed... hehehe!
