Happy Halloween!

On Friday, I took Dallas Trick or Treating at Doug's work. As you can tell, Daddy was busy when we got there...
Off to find some candy!
It didn't take Dallas long to figure out how to pick out the candy...
We also made a few stops at the businesses around the square in Williamsburg. They had Trick or Treating hours on Friday because most of the businesses are not open on Saturdays.

I tried to get a few more pictures of my bumble bee when we got home, but it was very windy and he wasn't in the mood to hold still!
Happy Halloween everyone!
Until next time...

Just wanted to say...

to my wonderful husband! We hope you had a great day.

Love you lots,
Rajean, Dallas & Gertie

Until next time...

Week 37 (updated)

Let the countdown continue! Only 3 weeks until due date :)
Make sure you submit your guesses for the baby pole (see previous post).

Here is a little comparison of what I looked like at 37 weeks while pregnant with Dallas.
I am headed to the doctor this morning for another Baby Gertie check-up. Let's hope my blood pressure is down this time! I will update how it goes when I get home. I am feeling lots better, and not coughing as much as before, but sleep is getting very difficult. I just can't get comfortable. Oh, well...I guess I'm just preparing myself for those every 2-3 hour feedings!
Until next time...

Update: Everything went really well at the doctor this morning. Dallas got to meet The Cat in the Hat, and he even got a candy bar...lucky! As far as Gertie, all is good and growing. I have put on a few more pounds since my last visit, but my blood pressure was back down to normal! Baby Gertie's heartbeat was right around 150 beats/min...it is beginning to slow down, but s/he is still as active as ever. Dr. Smollen did comment once again how great my ankles looked...she is kind of crazy like that!

Baby Poll!

Can you believe it? Gertie's due date is only 3 weeks away! S/he will be here before we know it. Once again, I appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and support through this pregnancy. I feel so blessed in all that I have. Since we are getting close to the arrival, I thought I would start the baby poll.

Here is how you play:

1) Click on the comment link at the end of this post
2) Take a guess at what day Gertie will arrive
3) Take a guess at what Gertie's length will be
4) Take a guess at what Gertie's weight will be
5) Finally, take a guess if Gertie is a boy or girl!

Make sure to leave your name, especially if you don't have a blog log in name.

Here's how you can play if you don't have a log in: Leave your guesses, and then select the "button" for either -Name/URL or -Anonymous.

If you choose -Name/URL, then just type your name in the name box...You can leave the URL box blank.

Here are some helpful tips when thinking of your guesses. My due date is Nov. 19th - this has not changed during the pregnancy. With Dallas my due date was originally March 24th, then it was moved to March 4th. Dallas arrived March 11th - by induction. Dallas weighed 8 lb 8 oz and was 21.5 in long.

Hope you enjoy this! I will be excited to see your guesses!

Until next time...

Quick Trip

This last weekend, Doug, Dallas, Charlie, Fred, and I made a quick trip back to Indiana. We left Friday mid-morning, and we were back home by Monday early-evening. We were able to spend time with our families, as well as some friends. Enough of me "talking", here are a few pictures.

Dallas riding the rocking sheep at Grandma and Grandpa Robertson's.
Grandma Robertson had foot surgery about 2 weeks ago, so she has a wheel chair to help get around. Dallas thought it was a lot of fun to push! (FYI: Grandma is healing very well from the surgery...she'll be back to chasing Dallas by the holidays!)
On Saturday, Dallas got to meet George Martin.
Then he got to meet Autumn!
Meeting two new cousins in one day - so much fun!

Dallas enjoying a little reading material during a car ride.
Grandpa Robertson had to show Dallas his new toy...Doug hopes Dallas doesn't say "Ferguson" before "Oliver"!
Grandpa Robertson's Ferguson wasn't the only tractor Dallas got to ride...
...here he is driving Grandpa Bergman's JD 110
Taking a ride with Grandpa Bergman
Finally, a quick video of Dallas taking Aunt Josie and Daddy for a ride.
Until next time...
