Hanging out at the Maasjo's

Thanksgiving Fun with Family

Annika is about as sweet and adorable as sweet and adorable can be:)

Morgan loves her Grandpa Maasjo

I do not think there was a time during the day Grandma Mac was not holding one of her adorable Great-Grandchildren.

 Lizzie is also pretty sweet!

Karsten is an absolute hoot!

 The boys only got in trouble a few times for wrestling...and by boys I mean all three of them, yes Bill got in trouble for wrestling as well.

Growing and Moving

We are growing!

We are at 23 weeks now and I can honestly say my tummy is pretty tight;) 

Baby Stansbery is really moving and for the first time, around midnight last night, Bill was able to feel the baby moving. 

It was amazing when I started to feel baby moving, but it was really awesome when Bill could feel the kicking. 11-11-11, strange date but a great day for Bill, the first time he felt his son/daughter move!

Becky's Birthday Surprise

We got her again! For Becky's 50th we rented the Eagles Club in VC. We scaled it down a bit for her 60th and had friends and family go to Dustin and Lissa's house for a surprise party. It was a fun time and I am pretty sure she enjoyed herself:)

Sometimes, not often, but sometimes

Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, Gus is sweet and adorable.

Another Appointment Day

Yesterday was another appointment day. Attempt #2 to see what they like to see. I believe we can now officially say, this baby is extremely stubborn! The tech got all of the shots we needed but it took a great deal of prodding and wiggling to get to that point. We could not get a 4D picture this time at all because the baby was snuggled into the placenta this time. Must need a soft pillow! 

We found out the kicking feeling I was experiencing most of the day was just that, kicking. The baby's feet were at my belly button just kicking away:) Here is a picture of that foot doing the kicking.

The heartbeat was 163 this time, yes I was extremely nervous and anxious and need to just relax because baby is doing great!

Pumpkin Carving

After a fabulous 5th Grade Special Day, that included pumpkin carving, I thought I would carve our pumpkins at home.

One of my team teachers had the idea of using cookie cutters, so I gave it a try. It was a little tricky because my cookie cutters were not big enough. I had to pound them in and pull them out with a plyers. Still fun though!
