Happy Halloween: Weekend 1 of 2

Although this is Avery's 2nd Halloween, it's her first time to really enjoy it. Luckily she's at an age where she can start to participate in some of the activities.  Little did I know, at this age, there are so many Hallowing activities and parties to attend, who know it was such a big deal!  I remember when I was younger, it was just a one night event. Avery will be celebrating Halloween for two full weeks!

We kicked off the holiday with a kids party at Barton Creek Country Club. On one floor they had activities for the younger kids such as a critters section including all sorts of snakes, turtles and lizards, a candy bar, witches ring toss and a haunted picture station. Up stairs was the older kids party including 2 bouncy houses, a DJ, pumpkin decorating and a hula hoop filled dance party.

Avery was a strawberry, and believe it or not she kept her hat on the entire time! Elise was a glamorous witch.

36 Weeks Pregnant

36 Week Sonogram
At 36 weeks pregnant, I had a full anatomy sonogram where they took measurements of all the babies body parts. This was so fun! The heart was beating so strong, the mouth was opening and closing and the hair was sticking out in a wave like motion. The sonogram tech told us baby Wilson is measuring at about 5lbs and 11oz. She also mentioned that baby Wilson has short legs, a small head and an average sized belly. Over all he/she is measuring very small based on a November 16th due date. I'm not sure that this really means anything considering I still have a few more weeks to pack on the pounds, and to be honest, my weight gain and size is very close to how I was at this point with Avery. Here is one of the 3D pictures we were able to capture. The face is a little smooched, but it looks to have a Wilson nose and the big Smolik lips!

Fun Activities 
This week Andrew and I attend the Woman's Symphony League Jewel Ball. As part of their 40th anniversary, they were honoring past members of the Jewel Court.  As a former Princess, my parents invited us and Kelly and Mark to attend the celebration.  I can't believe at 36 weeks I was able to find a formal dress that fit me! We had a great time eyeballing auction items and playing poker at the black jack table.
