32+ weeks!

I did the Monster Mash Fun Run (2 mile Zombie Walk) while Doug did the 15K. I pushed Asher and boy was it draining! I'm still waddling around at work. Everyone asks me "how long do you plan to work?" Well, I'd like to say as long as this baby will allow so I can take full advantage of the 12 weeks I get for FMLA. We'll see what 'baby #2 think'. Of course I have some swelling in my feet after my shift, but so would teachers, and anyone else whose job demands they're on their feet most their day.

On my 4 days off, I try to do at least one spinning class--since the absolute last place I will be is on a bike after delivery-- have one "Asher and Mommy day" as we've always had, then rest as much as possible. 'Rest'= a full day of housecleaning and still trying to get our spare bedroom cleared out so we can move Asher into it.

Fun with work friends!

Here are some of my co-workers and I at a Halloween Party. Can you believe 3 of the chicas in this photo are pregnant?! Fortunately only 2 of us will be on Maternity Leave when I'm out. One will start in November and I start in December. One of these girls will start in March and the other in May!

We're an example of something!

Our photographer is starting to add holiday cards to the services she offeres. I saw on her facebook site she chose us as one of the examples!

Family Photos: DONE

Yes, we finished them today! After scheduling these in July, we were still up late in the Galleria last night getting some last minute things for my boys--namely DOUG! Ha. I had Asher's stuff ordered, shipped here, and washed way before this weekend. Needless to say, Daddy and Mommy did get haircuts (mommy got her hair did as usual for these events...since she is clueless on how to use a blowdryer & straightener), mani/pedi, facial a couple weeks ago, and make-up done today at MAC (my first time using them).

We used our 'regulars', DW Photoz/DW Little Bitty Photography. We met up in the Hermann Park & Japanese Garden area. It was swarming with mosquitos! Disgusting. We eventually made it to downtown, but by then it was getting dark...thanks to the scattered showers that came down on us by the end of the night. Either way, I was very happy I could still fit into my wedding/engagement ring & heels.

Note: I feel very spoiled. I was just having some unwind time and saw our photographer put a preview up of one of Asher's photos! I'm so happy already :)

Did that count as my Babymoon?

My trip to NYC this past weekend is what I'm referring to...hmmm...

Happy 5th Birthday Brandon!

Asher's new swim class

Asher moved up at the Houston Swim Club. Today was our first day mommy was no longer in class with him...a little bittersweet as we did 2 semesters of classes together at The Little Gym and over 2 months now in swim class.

I was thinking Asher would be at his absolute WORST as he fell asleep for his nap just 5 minutes away from us getting there (it was a 1:3oP start time vs. our usual 9:30A or 10:30A) so he started out crying before we walked in...so I still handed him over and he just cried for another 30 seconds. He did awesome! Maybe I was the one distracting him all along. Ha!

Note: Jeez, sorry for the poor video quality. I was using my ipad2...thinking, "I'll bring the big daddy Nikon the next time". Definitely will be now! Anyway, Asher is the one floating in the water with the teacher.
