Week of the Squash (31 weeks)

Hard to believe, but Baby Mangum will be here in 2 months! She is 16 inches long and weighs 3.5 pounds. Her brain is going through a period of rapid development and her arms, legs, and body are starting to fill out and look less wrinkly.

She has become quite the mover and loves to dance around right after I eat and when I lay down. Just when I think my stomach can't stretch any further, it gets a little bigger. I hope I don't rip in half! :) 

For Halloween this year we decided to invite Vanessa and Michael over for dinner in a pumpkin and pumpkin carving. Every year we make a hamburger/rice mixture that is then cooked in a pumpkin. After the pumpkin has cooked, you can scrape off pieces of the pumpkin to eat with the hamburger. Now that I am describing it, it doesn't sound so good but trust me it is! We also made bread in the shape of a mummy to go with our pumpkin.

After dinner we carved pumpkins while we watched 'Wait Until Dark'.

Week of the Squash (29 weeks)

So this post is a little late... Here are the updates from a few weeks ago:

Baby Mangum is now in her 3rd trimester! Her head is in proportion to the rest of her body and she is becoming sensitive to light, sound, taste, and smell.

Except for a nasty case of food poisoning, I am feeling good. I can tell that my body is a little sluggish and I get tired more easily, but it's nothing I can't handle :) 

This week was fall break at work, so I was very excited to have a 5 day weekend! A few weeks ago, one of my friends Vanessa and I spent a few hours at Joann Fabric and bought lots of material, buttons, felt, and puff paint to decorate some plain white onesies I picked up. I was so grateful for her help, I would have been in the store forever if I had to pick everything out by myself! I had been looking forward to starting my projects, but didn't find the time until this long weekend.
