Trick-or-Treat

We had our 16 week appointment this week, on Halloween! It is so reassuring to go to our appointments and get to hear our baby's heartbeat. Everything went really smooth and I even gained some weight (at my last appointment I was the same weight as my previous appointment). We were able to schedule our gender ultrasound for the day before Thanksgiving! I am beyond excited to find out what we are having. We are planning a fun gender reveal party for our family and friends the day after Thanksgiving. More details to come later.

Halloween is always a fun holiday and I thought about trying to find a cute pregnant costume to wear. But I decided against it because Halloween was on a Thursday, we weren't going to any parties, and it was a lot of effort trying to decide. I did see a really cute shirt with skeleton bones and a skeleton baby that I wanted, but wasn't sure where to find it.

Because of the awful weather we had Thursday night, trick-or-treat was postponed until Saturday. I was excited to pass out candy for the first time in our new house. I was sure there would be a lot of neighborhood kids and I was looking forward to seeing all of their costumes. However, we only had 6 visitors for trick-or-treat. Grady and Ziva didn't mind, because they went crazy every time the doorbell rang and we had to keep them in the kitchen with a baby gate. But I was a little disappointed at the turn out. Another down side is that now we have a ton of candy that I have been too tempted to eat. And I'm not doing a very good job of resisting. I guess I can use this pregnancy as a little bit of an excuse to indulge a bit.

Here is my 16 week photo. Happy Halloween!
