some much needed pics

I am finally going to fill you in on some much needed pics! Yeah! Before you start scrolling...I forgot to update you all on the 3 hour glucose test - I passed!! 15 hours with no food was NOT fun I would NOT recommend it, but I survived. The three hours actually went faster than I expected. I did get pretty nauseous and faint, but not until I actually started to eat again. Once the food had time to sit for a few minutes I felt much better. After getting the numbers back, the doc said I must have eaten something really weird on the day of the first test because my numbers were really low and just fine on the second test - good news! I already have another appt tomorrow - we are on our 2 week appointments already - holy cow! I haven't even pulled out a single "baby thing" yet!! Today marks 30 weeks. This pregnancy has definitely had it's trials....I think it's about time to pick a name out too. Don't worry - we won't be sharing! Ok Ok - on to the pics...

The following is my cute little Austin - what a stud!

Here's me and the hubs going out on a date last week - 29 weeks prego....

Here's me with my girls! Yes, the bald one is a girl....will she ever grow hair?! And is that the cutest little "teacher skirt" Ashlyn has on?!?! Got it for a dollar at a garage sale - I love it!

Here's Gabriella concentrating very hard on coloring her first Halloween cookie. No fun and games for her - serious work to be done - and lots of frosting to eat.



A long time ago I promised some pics of Ashlyn on her birthday (the big 3).

Here's a stroller that she got that needed to be put together. Papa Turner thought he'd just throw it together real quick...

Uncle Nick then said he would help too...it'd go quicker that way....

I think maybe it goes like this...no wait...turn just a little...hmmmm.....

Maybe Gabriella could help...She's a good helper....Nick is starting to look a bit annoyed...Are you sure this is a play stroller and not a real one??

Alright guys, move over, Shawn to the rescue....while Aunt Kim finds a piece of paper in the trash bag....the directions??? Surely between the four of them they can figure it out.

YEAH!!!!!!!!! 2 hours later we have a stroller!! Good job guys! Sorry Ash, took them so long to put together, it's bedtime now - you can play with it tomorrow...

Don't know why, just like this picture.

All the kids LOVE to play dressup - Ashlyn got tons of dressup stuff for her b-day. That's Pirate Papa Turner and Batman in the background.

Just Ashlyn and mommy - lookin' cute!

And here's getting ready for ice cream sundaes (plus Addison on the left)

Below is Austin's preschool class at the pumpkin patch - what a fun field trip! Yup - only 2 girls in his class.

Austin and Ashlyn on a hayride!


Alright, so that should update you a bit - We are doing good here, although it's getting colder by the day. Shawn's been working hard on some pretty big bids lately. Our new kitchen is on order and we are anxiously awaiting our cabinets so we can get started. Only 9 more weeks of being prego - sad, exciting, nerve racking, tiring, anxious, and worried we are never going to come up with a name....
That's it for now - should be a fun week with the Halloween festivities around the corner! Look for some pics this week of the kids costumes.
Hope you are havin' the time of your life!
