Dancing Queen

Gwen's babysitter took this video of Gwen dancing the other day, and sent it to me while I was at work. It made my day, take put it mildly. I LOVE GWEN and dream of the day I get to stay home and see this crazy kid all day long! But until that day arrives, I'll be content with crappy cell phone videos taken by her babysitter.

State Fair '10

We decided to venture out to the fair again this year, with 2 main goals. Goal one, see all the animals and let Gwen go crazy mooing at them all. Goal 2, eat something fried to golden perfection! We went with our friends, so that's the little guy you'll see in some of these pictures. We forgot our camera, they had theirs, so all of these photos are courtesy of them. Thanks Ivins!

Goal 1:

Her favorite stop was the cows. She LOVES cows! Moooooooo!

The view of the whole fair from the giant slide (our friends went on it while we stuffed our faces with fried oreos)

Goal 2:

It was hard to make the decision of what to buy, since each possible heart attack on a plate was freaking expensive, we only bought one thing and shared. We settled on the oreos. Maybe my expectations were too high. I thought these fried oreos would be the best things ever to be eaten. Ever. I was WRONG. They were soft and mushy inside, gross. The dough was good, but the rest was a waste of calories. I should have gone with the deep fried, chocolate covered bacon. Not even kidding, that was an option! GAG! But don't worry, I still have hope that one of the fried options is delicious, so until next year deep fried foods, hopefully I make a better decision then!

Did I mention

We're having a BOY!? Yeah, so pretty much everyone already knew that, but since this is my "journal" that I will eventually, one day, print out, I thought I would mention this little tidbit.

So here is HIS picture at 18 weeks.

One day he won't be happy that I posted that picture on the internet.

And my picture today, at almost 24 weeks.

I'm feeling really good. Most of the time I forget I'm pregnant, until the end of the day. By the end of the day my back is killing and my stomach muscles feel like they are stretching like crazy. Which I guess they are.

I've kind of been in denial that we are having a boy, so I haven't done a lot of shopping for him, but tonight I had the itch to shop. So we all went to the Children's Place and then Target. I didn't find anything outstanding at the Children's Place (at least in newborn sizes), but at Target there was quite a few things I liked. It was fun shopping for a little guy. Totally different than shopping for Gwen. When I shop for her I want her to look cute. As I shop for this little guy, I want him to look cool, not too girly or wimpy. It's weird.

And because what would a blog post be without a picture of Gwen, here she is tonight. She was helping Brett bake some Czech treats for his office. She loved putting the flour in the mixer.
