Happy Halloween!

Emmett went trick or treating tonight with Daddy. This adventure consisted of knocking on 4 of our closest neighbors doors. Emmett did not even want to go at first. He just wanted to watch all of the kids walk by. He wasn't sure about going to other people's houses. He actually even sat down and threw some of the candy. Haha. Maybe he will understand by next year that the idea is to keep the candy, not throw it back at the people giving it to you!! We'll see..

Here is Rustin trying to coax Emmett into knocking on some doors with him.. :) 

26.5 Weeks

 



I am 26.5 weeks pregnant with Baby Nelson #2. She is doing just great. I can hardly believe I am almost through my second trimester. This pregnancy is going very fast. At my 24 week appointment I passed my glucose test (glad that is over) and was found to be slightly anemic so I am currently taking an iron supplements. I recently battled a cold that then turned into a sinus infection causing pain in my teeth and cheeks. It finally seems that the second round of antibiotics I have been prescribed are working and the pain is starting to go away. Hopefully this will be the only medicine I have to take during this pregnancy although I would have preferred to take none at all.
We have a name for our little girl but have decided to keep it a secret. It is one of the many benefits that we are experiencing have found out the gender this time around. It is fun to call her by name. :)
Emmett now says "baby" and points to my stomache. I'm sure he doesn't fully understand. He is excited about his "big boy" room that we are preparing for him to move into in the next 2 months and I think (and hope) that he is too little to be jealous or not like his sister when she arrives; although I expect they will both have their moments.

Hopefully I am better about taking pictures of this little girl when she is born than I have been about taking pictures during my pregnancy with her! I will try.

Picture Update

Unfortunately, I haven't been too good at taking many pictures lately.. but here are a few cute ones of Emmett from the last few months..

For a few weeks he was in the habit of crawling under the chair and sitting there playing. He still enjoys walking under his dad's legs (Mom's legs are a little too short!), and tonight he was crawling under his activity table. Silly.
