TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

We took the girls out trick-or-treating tonight. It totally should have been rescheduled due to the weather (it was rescheduled last year because of Hurricane Sandy) but they didn't reschedule it so off we went. It was from 6-8 here and was windy and rainy. The wind kept blowing out our umbrella so we just gave up on it. We lasted about the entire 2 hours. Hannah kept getting extra candy by just saying, "More?" It's one of the few words she knows that she can say clearly enough so it was rather funny. There were hardly any trick-or-treaters out because of the weather so people were giving handfuls of candy just to get rid of it.

Hannah dressed up as Elmo and Autumn was a farm girl. Next year we're all going as a zombie family. Did you guys do anything for Halloween?

Britt-I know exactly what you mean! Everytime I have a good day (it's only happened a few times), I am about 10-20% thankful and the rest is all worry...

Morgan-I'm so glad they dropped the charges! I was just wondering about that the other day!

I'm trying not to fret.. it's hard!! Being a momma is one stressful job, even from the beginning!!

So mother-freaking true!

Rachel! That's not good! Tell your doc!
I haven't felt faint since the first week or two after I found out.

They had a parade through the school today, it was pretty cute. Saw at least 7 iron men and 7 spidermen lol
We had some trick or treaters once the rain had stopped. We were handing candy out by the handful as well and we still have a bowl full! Oh well, more for me

I think I might have felt the babies move on my way home from work. That makes about 4 times I've felt something unfamiliar. Not sure if it's really them or not, but I like to think so. I ate more candy than I should have, so they probably have a sugar rush lol

PS Waves, saw the pics on fb, the girls looked super cute! Autumn looked kind of like Dorothy...I guess her dress was the wrong color though lol

Thanks!

That's kinda what she wanted, I guess. A few weeks ago I asked what she wanted to be and she gave me a list of several things but decided she wanted to be a farmer girl. To me that would mean overalls, straw hat, something like that lol. But she wanted a red and white checkered dress and glitter shoes (totally Dorothy-esque lol) so my mom made her dress and that's the outcome. I'm not really into the idea because you wouldn't know what she is but she wanted it so whatever lol. Luckily next year she's on-board with going as a zombie family so that should be fun lol.

Rachel- let me be your mom for a second... TELL YOU OB PLZ! If not for you, tell the OB for your babies sake!

I sat out side for Halloween (because otherwise dogs get too excited) and passed out candy to all the cute little munchkins... thinking about how exciting it will be next year with our little one!

 

[TTCaWee1]

My OB office just called and the quad screen came back "perfect!" Also I took the opportunity to tell them about the cramping and passing out. Both totally normal. I didn't want you guys to tell on me....

awww so cute!

 

[morganwhite7]

Awwww they are so sweet. I love that your pictures are so awesome, you'll look back and be so thankful for documenting so well!!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks ladies!

I'm obsessed with taking pictures. "Good" ones or not. I have countless pictures on our external hard drive from over the years with my cameras and cell phones. I get 4x6 prints made of almost all of them for photo albums on top of making photo books through Shutterfly and then I also get larger prints (5x7 or 8x10) of my favorites to hang throughout the house. I would line my walls from top to bottom, side to side with pictures if I could. Life passes way too quickly and my kids are growing up quicker than in the blink of an eye so I want to preserve as much of it as I can. I love to look back and compare how they looked then to how they look now. See what their favorite things were when they were younger. Embarrassing pictures to laugh at on their wedding day.

I have hardly any from my childhood nor do I remember much of it (due to divorce, abuse, nonsense, whatever) and I don't want my kids to have the same, you know?

Plus I just love taking pictures lol.

Amanda, I know what you mean. I'm the same way. I'm a photographer (as a hobby) and I adore it. My face is always behind the camera. It's so great to be able to look back on pictures.

 

[wavescrash]

Same here... amateur photographer. I'm trying to turn it into a side-business of sorts. But I'm always behind the camera. I hate that I'm not in more of the pictures but I haven't mastered self-portraits/timed shots and OH sucks at shooting in manual (even if I set the settings for him) and has terrible times with focusing properly so I just tend to not let him behind the camera lol.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Yup! Same here! I do all of my friends and family's photography. Each year everyone comes back and I love it. My favorite is children though. I take them to a park and don't force them to pose. I follow them around and catch them in thier natual habitat! haha. No one else knows how to use a SLR, so I always take the pictures but there aren't a lot of me either.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I love taking pictures I am not good at it, but whenever I check cows I always wish I had a camera with me. I photograph my poor dog all the time. She always lunges at my phone now.

 

[wavescrash]

I've done that a ton of times as well - just take the kids to the park with OH and chase after them with the camera. I rarely get to do posed shoots with my kids because they refuse to cooperate so I save those for my friends and their kids lol.

 

[goldstns]

We bought a really nice camera for our honeymoon and for our future baby pictures. However, we don't use it unless it is for a special event. I enjoy it, but always forget about it.

SO cute! Glad the girls had fun! My friends 3 year old kept hustling for more candy by saying "im three, so can I have 3 pieces of candy?"

OH's mom lives for halooween so we all dressed up at zombies and went as a zombie wedding party. Pics are on my fb. They're hysterical.

Isn't he the cutest? I am so proud of her for having a natural birth!

Such a brave soul....I'm terrified of ripping into my ass...you can't come back from that...
