Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well we have come to my favorite holiday of the year. I absolutely love Thanksgiving because it is about eating and spending time with family. This year we didn't have any plans to go anywhere so I made my first Thanksgiving feast! It was kind of fun but stressful at the same time. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect and it turned out pretty good. There are a couple of things that I would change the next time. Below are some pictures of all the food that I made.

Turkey!

Green Bean Casserole!

Strawberry Jello

Mashed Potatoes

Apple Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Aidan playing with his favorite toys. Airplanes!
Smiling at the camera!

The boys watching TV and relaxing.

As for our house--we now have a garage floor and steps going into the front door. We no longer have to walk on 2 boards to get into the house!! Hopefully next week they will started putting in windows or getting our basement floor poured.

Progress of our house

This week was a big week for our house. We finally have all of the shingles on and we have the temporary heater in place just not turned on yet. The masonry people will be coming Monday to pour the cement for our garage. I have included some pictures so you can see the progress.

This is a picture from the end of our drive way.

Tarps over the garage floor to heat up the ground so they can pour the cement.

This is our temporary heater it is neat that is suspended.

28 Week Doctor Appointment

Well I went to the doctor on Friday for my 28 week appointment. Everything is going well. I only gained a pound this last month which is really good for me!! I got to hear the baby's heartbeat which was in the 150's. The doctor also told me that my hemoglobin was kind of low and that I should remember to take my prenatal vitamins everyday. I will have that checked again in a month and if it is still low I will have to take an extra iron pill. I told my doctor so you are going to give another pill that I can forget to take. Dr. Goerish also measured my stomach and I was measuring 31 and should have measured 28 so if I am still measuring big then I will be getting another ultrasound. This happened with Aidan also so I am not worried but I would like another ultrasound. I am carrying very high and so the doctor said that this is probably why I am measuring big.

Here is a picture of my belly.

Aidan's Doctor appointment

Well Aidan went to his 2 year appointment yesterday. Everything went well. He doesn't have to get any shots until he starts school so that is really good. I hated going to the doctor while he had to get shots. He is a growing boy though. He is 35 1/2" tall (79%). He weighs 32 lbs and 7 ozs (91%).

Pictures

Since Aidan turned 2 I changed his bed from a crib to the toddler bed. He is very proud of his bed.

Aidan by his birthday cake. He like blowing out the candle so much that he blew it out like 4 times.

This is the lastest picture that I have of our house. We now have some shingles on the roof.

Welcome to the Schmidt Family Blog
