Trunk or Treat :D
Halloween night. A night to dress up and get lots of candy :)
Ryan and I did Trunk or Treat down a t the church for the fourth year in row. Our trunk turned out really well with webbing everywhere and a giant spider that literally spanned the entire length of our trunk! unfortunately, I forgot my camera. :( so there are no pictures of our trunk, but i will take a picture of the spider and post it ;)
Hunter went as a little fireman, SO CUTE! he had a good time. I decided not to take him around to get candy since he is still so little, but next year I will. We did "tour" the lot and look at all the other trunks.
A ton of people showed up for the event, it was fun to see all the costumes and spend the evening with Ryan.
more later, but here are a few pictures:

Ramblings
It is a beautiful Wednesday evening, the baby is sleeping (well sort-of), Ryan is at work, and I have much homework to do! (which is why you find me posting on my blog instead of hard at work) ;)
This morning I had another doctors appointment (they are every two weeks now :( which equals a lot of driving!) everything still looks good. The baby's heartbeat is strong and he was kicking almost the whole time I was at the appointment! Two weeks ago they did the glucose test and everything came back normal with that. No surprises there.
Afterward Ryan and I went to the mall for a little bit just to walk around and relax. I was super excited I got Panera for lunch! (that is the one thing I have been craving ALL the time with this pregnancy!) :) yum yum yum. Hunter has been coming down with a bit of a cold, poor little guy. his nose is real stuffy and just drains down his throat which makes him cough a lot. and in turn he doesn't want to sleep. :( He has been really clinging latey too, probably because he doesn't feel well :( Other than his cold, he has been doing great.
I'm really excited for this Friday, Ryan took the day off so that we could do Trunk or Treat again this year. Hunter is dressing up as a fireman (of course!) and if I can find a big orange tee shirt, i'm going as a pumpkin. hehe. I wont spoil how we are planning on decorating our trunk, there will be pictures up soon enough ;) I am just excited to be able to spend the day with Ryan. I think we are going to carve a pumpkin or two in the morning and then just relax all day before heading over to the church for Trunk or Treat. It will be nice to have a long weekend with him!
well, I suppose I ought to get working on my homework for the night. ...

Hats and More Hats
Hunter LOVES to wear hats! he has found a few of Ryan's ball caps and he has a few that were his when he was little (but would never keep on his head) and now when ever he sees them on the floor, he puts them on and smiles :)
This morning he kept trying to put on Ryan's hat and it wouldn't stay on his head so he started whining and held the hat up to me with a look of desperation on his face. I put the hat on his head and he just smiled and crawled away to play with a toy. lol.
He has one hat in particular that likes, but it is supposed to be for like a three month old, so it doesn't really fit him. I think it looks like a Yamaka on his head! hehe.
He has also discovered a knitted hat that my Aunt made for me two Christmas's ago. since it is knitted when you pull it over your face, you can still kinda see through it, so he has a TON of fun with that! I laughed when I saw him put it on all the way over his face then crawl across the living room to get a toy. Too cute!
Well, you know me, pictures are much better then words, so here are a few pictures of him in various hats that he has:

Target
We went to Target today with the neighbors just to hang out for a bit. I was waiting with Hunter while Ryan got a pop and an older couple (probably in their 60's) started asking about Hunter, how old he was, telling me how cute he was. and asked when I was due for the next one. Nice couple.
When ended up near the front of the store again a little later and the gentleman happened to walk by and told me "You're such a cute pregnant lady."
Yeah, I definitely blushed. It is kinda awkward being complimented by a man in his 60's about how "cute" you are. lol. But it made me smile.
Old people are funny. When they were talking with me the first time they asked if we had a name picked out for the new baby yet, and so I told them, and he joked that we should name him Ron because that was his name. hehe.
We had a good time at the mall, I let Ryan go to best buy with the neighbor so he could have some "guy time" and I could go and shop at Fashion Bug with out feeling rushed. (Ryan doesn't like it when I drag him to "girly -stores" so when ever I do get him to come with me, I always try to hurry) I found some really cute fall shirts and they were buy one get one for 99 cents. :) Plus I still had money left on a gift card my amazing mother-in-law got for me. I love shopping and buying things and not spending any money! (especially since we dont have a lot to spend on "extras"! )
this is one of the new shirts I got today. super comfortable, I will definitely be wearing it until it falls apart! lol.
here is another preggo pict since I havent been keeping those updated very well...
I'm still not very big, but the same thing happened with Hunter. Over the next two months I will probably gain another 10lbs and grow quite a few more inches around my belly :)

Always Growing & Learning
Hunter has become fascinated with light switches. :D he knows how to turn them on and off and smiles every time he does it! So now when I am holding him and walking through the house, he reaches for every light switch that we pass wanting to touch it and play with it. lol. So cute.
He makes me smile :)

I LOVE Saving Money!
So, we decided to look around for new car insurance and I'm SO glad we did! we were at State Farm, and I thought they were pretty good. But they kept raising our monthly payment not by much, but it was consistently going up so we started looking around. We just switched to AAA and it is saving us about $100 a month! We have all the same coverage and are still saving that much money!!! I'm super excited, maybe Ryan will let me start buying shoes again with all this money we're saving ;-) LOl. (j/k)
So I just wanted to let everyone know, it never hurts to look around, even if you think you are getting a good deal. It is definitely worth the time to make sure you are getting the best deal out there.
That is all for today. :)

I :( Shots
So I had to drive all the way to Lansing today for my Rhogam Shot. :(
(three cheers for having type A Neg. blood!) I hate getting shots, and this one was no exception. I was waiting for 20 minutes in the waiting room just so that they could finally call me back and spend a total of 90 seconds with me giving me a shot. They injected it into my butt and so while the shot didn't hurt as bad that way, having to sit on my butt in a wooden chair for two hours straight in class today did not feel very good. :(
Over all though today went well. It was just frustrating having to drive an hour for a 2 minute appointment that I had to wait 20 minutes for and then drive another hour home.
My EDU class presentation went very well and hopefully tomorrows mini lesson will go just as well! then I just have a test to make it through on Thursday and I can relax a little bit!
(I cannot wait for the holidays- give me some time to breath from class!)
I am excited that Ryan and I are going to look at a new car tomorrow :) (It is time to trade in the Monte for a four door since we have another baby on the way!)
Hmmm....Other news from today, some friends of ours have a cat so I went to visit them today and Hunter had a TON of fun chasing it around the living room and petting it :) he was so cute! at one point when we first got there, the cat came up to Hunter to sniff him and check him out and Hunter leaned down to get a closer look at the cat so they were nose to nose and it looked like they were giving each other eskimo kisses. So cute!!!
Hunter has always loved animals so I like when he has the opportunity to play with them, you can just see the excitment and joy in his eyes as he touches the fur or chases them around :)
[next time I'll remember to take my camera and there will be pictures ;) ]

My Placenta Moved!
At the 20 week ultra sound we were told that the placenta was down near the cervix which isn't a good thing because if it stayed near the opening I would have to have a c-section instead of natural birth. (To eliminate risk of the placenta being "born" before the baby)
So at today's appointment I had another ultrasound to see if it had moved, and IT DID!! So no surgery for me! I'm such a wuss, I've never been to the hospital before (other than to give birth). I've never needed surgery for anything, and I didn't want to start now!
Although they had told us before that it is fairly common for the placenta to be down near the cervix and move later, it was still really good to hear that it had moved!
It was so cool getting to see little Keegan again! Ultra sounds are my second favorite part of pregnancy. :)
The first two ultrasound pictures are from two months ago, at 20 weeks preggo.
Top: side view of the baby's head, belly and a leg (no, he is not that blessed in boy parts) ;)
Bottom: side view of head with his hand up near his mouth
Top Left: This one is a 3D of his face with is hand up against his head. I guess he was trying to hide from us today.
Bottom Left: baby Keegan looking at us
Top Right: his little hand, waving "hello" !
Bottom Right: His little feet (that have been kicking my bladder a lot lately!)
Oh I cant believe how fast the time has gone! In my third trimester already! Soon I will be able to hold little Keegan in my arms! What a blessing that will be :) God is so good to us, sometimes I can't believe Ryan & I have been entrusted with such a wonderful and precious gift!
