Halloween Party!

Last night our friends in our ward had a Halloween party. It was SO much fun!! We didn't want to spend money on costumes...and I am no where near crafty enough to make some...so my sister in law Jenny gave us the idea to go as each other! Travis played my part a little to well. He had the pregnant belly, my basketball shorts (that I constantly wear around the house), my pink slippers, and he waddled around complaining of his back hurting and how hungry he was! I just wore black pants, his shirt and tie, and his doctor jacket and stethescope. To top it all off we even switched wedding rings since we have the same ring size (I'll never stop giving Travis a hard time for his small fingers)! We never thought we would win anything but sure enough we won best couple costume!
The place we had the party was SO awesome! A couple in our ward own this property called Buffalo Ranch. You drive in the through the gate and drive past a small lake, then after the lake is their HUGE house, then behind the house is another sort of guest house type of thing and that is where we had the party. The patio of this little guest house had a fireplace and cool lights everywhere. We had the party out on the patio cause you know...it's Texas and we can still party outside at night...it only got a little bit cold. THEN behind that little guest house is a little office building where they work from and behind that is a HUGE barn where they keep all their horses. They raise cutting horses and I think she said they just started raising reigning horses as well. Pretty much their property is so much fun and I wish it had been light enough outside to take pictures of! Some day I'll get my amazing home and ranch!

Growing Pains

Last night I could not sleep to save my life!! My stomach was SO sore! It was like I had done an intense ab work out! Then I woke up and found my stomach was twice the size as it was when i went to bed...it must have been hard at work all night! I text Travis and told him but I don't think he really believed me until he got home and saw for himself. He told me at least people will know I'm pregnant now instead of just looking like I've got a gut. What a sweetheart he is... :) As much as I hate pictures of myself I'm posting one for all those back home! I'm 21 weeks now...next week I will be 5 months and I'll have another doctors appointment! I'm slowly getting closer and closer to having her here!

We are having a......

GIRL!!!!! My sonnogram was today and we got a VERY clear shot that it's a girl!! Travis was able to take some time off class so he got to actually see her and hear the heart beat for the first time! All the organs are looking very healthy and she is measuring perfectly for how far along I am....which is 19 weeks! We are soooo excited and can't wait to start buying stuff to finally fill our empty spare room!! She has also been turning into quite the little kicker....it must come from her soccer playing daddy. I've been starting to be able to tell the difference between a kick or if it's just her rolling around and it's so much fun! I can't wait for Travis to actually be able to feel her! This is her looking up at the camera with her hands up by her face on both sides. I love her little alien looking eyes!

Side view of her cute little face. :)
This one kind of uploaded blurry and you can't really see the writing but it's the picture showing that she's a girl.
Last but not least here is my baby bump at 19 weeks for all of you that have been asking for a picture. Sorry it's so awkward but I had to take it myself and I didn't want my face in it...I'll have to have Travis take a better one sometime.
