Kastyn

I go to the doctor today to check on Kastyn. She is moving and growing I can tell. I only have 7 weeks left and I can't wait. This weekend the church is having a baby shower for me. My dad, step mom, and sister Jessica are coming down for the shower. I haven't seen them since summer so it will be nice to spend some time with them.
Justin and I have to go to our parenting class this Saturday so I got my parents tickets to Silver Dollar City. I don't think they have ever been so that should be fun for them. It will be the 1st day of the Christmas season. After that we will come home and have supper and spend time probably playing games. It is so much fun to play games and my dad and them love to play as well.
Sunday is the shower, my in-laws will be there as well. It should be lots of fun.

Halloween

Today is Halloween. Many people are celebrating Halloween and many are not. Many Christians don't believe in celebrating this holiday. That is just fine for them and I don't think any less or more of them for it. I am a Christian and proud of it. However, I don't see anything wrong with dressing my kids or me up and going trick or treating. I personally don't know the real reason WHY this holiday started, but dressing up is fun. I however will not let my children dress up as something that would be against God. Zombies, Ghosts (unless it's the Holy Ghost), scary things or anything like that. Dressing up as a princess/cowboy or whatever and going door to door getting candy is a fun thing for children to do.
At our school we still celebrate Halloween and have a parade. The students love it. I normally dress up, but this year I have a doctor's appointment so I didn't dress up.
Justin is growing a big beard (which by the way I hate) but he wanted to wear a flannel shirt and have an ax and go to work as Paul Bunyan. However, I don't think he had a flannel shirt so he didn't go as anything this year either.

Joys of Pregnancy!

Oh the joys of pregnancy. I have really had a good pregnancy so far, however today I am not feeling well. I am not sure what the problem is, but I don't like it. It is a good thing that my students have a test today in Math that way I can sit a little more than normal.

YAY!!

Kastyn's mural came in the other day and Justin put it up. I am so excited and it looks adorable. Now we just have to wait for her to get here.
Our baby shower at the church is on Nov. 6th after church. My dad and step mom are coming down for it. Also, I believe Justin parents are too.
I am now going to the doctor every 2 weeks. I went this Tuesday and things are looking good. My belly was measuring about 3 cm bigger than I am weeks. I hope that means I will go a week or two early. That is what I am praying for anyway.

Kastyn Kayde Porter is always loved and spoiled and I'm sure she will continue to be spoiled when she gets here.
