After my doctors appointment last week, I was on the go! We left immediately after to Daren's parents house to begin the Thanksgiving festivities.  The roads thankfully weren't too awful after that "Storm of the Century" {whoomp, whoomp}

Thanksgiving was a great success,  no pictures to document the day of course.  We did have family pictures taken since it was the first time ALL Gordon family members were present.  I can't wait to see them.

My birthday festivities were fantastic! Back tracking.. One Sunday a couple weeks ago I was talking about how I'd give anything for Logan to have a decent buffet (I'm sorry, I mean NICE buffet, no Golden Corral or Chuck O Rama) so Kelsi suggested we go to Vegas for my birthday.  I think everyone thought we'd get over it but no such luck.  Us 4 headed to Vegas for my birthday. 

We stayed at the Stratosphere.  I didn't get many pictures, I have to use my picture taking time with Daren sparingly. We watched the Christmas Bellagio fountain thing and I loved it.  That was a lot of walking for me apparently though, I couldn't do much unfortunately.

 On Saturday we went to the Bellagio buffet.  I probably could have eaten more than I really ended up eating.  They had some wicked good sushi. Kelsi tried the duck.  But my favorite section was definitely the desserts...They had these white chocolate nutella ice cream cone things. Oh geez....

 We left really early on Sunday morning because of the storm that was going to be coming in.  I'd still say we hit it but we still made pretty good time. 

My parents watched Meli, Wes & Heather had Kona.  You could tell Meli was tuckered out last night.  I took this picture.  I love when my dogs lay like humans on our bed.  I missed them so much!

 Now, I'll share some pictures of my lil stud muffin. I love technology.  I couldn't have survived the days before finding out what you're going to have.  But I really didn't expect the 3d pictures to be so fantastic either.  I mean, for crying out loud, that is my baby!
Much better than the regular pictures....  Baby Gus(the name will be Gus until he arrives or once me and Daren can agree on a name...which ever comes first) does have some clothes that I bought in Vegas.  I can't wait to begin getting everything ready now.  Oh my baby is so sweet already!

It's a BOY! A very active...healthy....very UN shy boy!

It came and was a fun night.  To be honest, I didn't even love this last season....or so I thought.  Then as the dancers danced I remembered how many great dances(and dancers) there were! I did take a lot of pictures, but they're lame to post. 
How could I have forgotten I was going to get to see Dominic again?! I seriously have the biggest crush on him.  If only we could have scored some awesome backstage passes again this year.
 The first highlight of my night was when Russell(krumper) Jose(hip hop) and Dominic(b-boy) did a little dance number...but not only that Dominic started dancing to Justin Bieber.  I loved it.  Seriously, I'm obsessed.
 2nd highlight of the night was after Lauren and Kent did their prom routine, with a kiss at the end, they did a new dance to the Kesha/3Oh3 song My First Kiss.  It was hilarious.  I really enjoyed it. 


Besides the SYTYCD tour I had such a busy weekend.  I loved it, keeps me distracted enough that the next 2 weeks until I am able to find out what I'm having go by fast. 

•  I went to the doctor, all is well.  Seriously, 2 weeks! I can't stand it.  I dream about having a boy all the time.  It'll be named Gus if Daren has anything to do with it.....
• I finally got my car back.  I hated my rental, a BRIGHT red hhr. 
• I went to the JJ Cole Warehouse sale.  I got a diaper bag.  I was mostly excited to get the diaper bag over with. I knew what I wanted.  We, meaning Kelsi and I, got some other baby stuff for screaming deals.
• I went to Kelsi's Super Saturday.  I made two crafts.  Daren still has yet to notice them....?
• I went to the Aggie game.  Everyone was busy I almost had to go alone, but AJ went with me.  We won.  It was nice to finally win.  Unfortunately, there is only one more home game.  Sad.

  I really like Halloween I think.  I don't enjoy the whole dressing up but I felt like my Halloween was lacking other Halloween type events this year.  I didn't carve my pumpkin as usual.  I almost didn't get to watch Hocus Pocus.  I felt Halloween snuck up on me this year.  Oh well, I'm looking forward to November so that could be why.

Thankfully, when Daren was out of town, I convinced the sibs(plus Chris) to go to a corn maze with me.  I'd been dying to go, even if it was haunted.  I knew I probably wouldn't be able to handle the haunt, especially a chain saw- those things terrify me- but I loved a good corn maze when I was in high school.   And boy, I "likes" must have definitely changed since then.  It was a really good time, after the fact.   But while I was in the corn maze I was terrified.  I am a wuss I know this.  At one point, the chain saw started revving and I lost it.  I ran the opposite way, tackled Chris, tripped and fell into the corn.  Not my finest moment.  But we did make it out fast- thank you for being the smart Bostons you are!

Now, here is the dreaded belly picture.  Do you know how awful these are? You don't until you take them. But I really don't enjoy this.  But here is my 16 week belly in all it's glory.  It definitely popped over night over the weekend.  Hopefully when I go to the doctor on Friday they will tell me everything will be good.
P.S.  I voted this morning before work.  I'm so proud of myself.  I'm awesome.
