Baby shower at work
My friends at work had a baby shower for us this week. It was lots of fun and I enjoyed seeing everyone since I haven't been working. We got lots of wonderful gifts. We received all of the booster seats we needed, blankets, towels and wash rags. More diapers and wipes!! And we also got the quad stroller I wanted! I was so excited. We are very thankful for the generosity of my co workers, it is great to work at such a wonderful place.
30 Weeks
Well I have survived 30 weeks of being pregnant with the quads! Still feeling well, just tired. I do have to say I am very glad I listened to my gut and decided to stop working! The doctor was glad too! I get very tired very easy, it wears me out to get Duncan and myself ready and him to Abby's. I went to the doctor on Friday, and they did an ultrasound called a BPP ( biophysical profile). Each baby can score 8 points, 2 for practice breathing, 2 for 3 big movements, 2 for heart rate and 2 for fluid around them. They all scored 8 out of 8! I go back to the doctor tomorrow and they will most likely do the BPP again and not do measurements and weights on the babies since they will be here in 8 days. YIKES!! If the doctor really wants the measurements, they will do it otherwise not.
We are all ready, I think for the babies! We are going to look at a crib tonight since the one Duncan slept in the side falls down!! Everything is put away for the most part, thanks to Taylor for coming over and finishing putting away the clothes!!! We are also set for the most part with everything we need.
Duncan is doing well, we having been reading big brother books. I think he gets it, I hope anyway! He is very ornery these days. He wants to do what he wants! If I raise my voice ( which does no good), he will say "stop talking loud, Mommy". I tell him to be good and then I don't have to talk loud, usually that is enough for him to do what I want him to do. He also has been pulling a my belly doesn't hurt when it is time for nap or bed! I tell him that's good, but you still have to go to sleep.. Works at night, but not at nap time usually. He also likes for one us to lay with him at night time. He likes me to rub his belly. Last night he was asleep, I thought so I got up, he yelled at me to come back and I told him to close his eyes for 5 minutes and if he was still awake, I'd come back.... well he went to sleep!! Imagine that!!
Abby decided to take a close up of just my belly!! Getting darn close to the door.

Safe Trick or Treat, pumpkin Carving and Halloween
Taylor took Duncan and Gabby to safe trick or treat at the high school. They had a good time. There was a ghost there that scared Duncan. That is what he talked about the most! He told me he was a good boy and held Taylor's hand while they were there. Taylor also said he was a good boy, I am glad. He usually doesn't fib about that stuff, only when he is good sometimes he will tell me he was bad!
We (Tracy and the girls) also had the annual pumpkin carving party, pumpkin gut fight. This was started when Tracy came into the family, really just when we were dating, but it is mostly an annual tradition now. They had fun, Mom, Abby, Rodney and I did not participate this year, or tired not to. Duncan decided everyone was going to be involved. He was sure to get guts on everyone!! He had a blast. I didn't think he was going to like it, but it only took one time of him throwing guts at someone and it was on! He was a mess. Let me say I was glad I am unable to give Duncan a bath at this point, his Dad got to do it! Although we were still picking pumpkin out of his ears 2 days later!
Trick or Treating was Saturday night, wow what a busy day Saturday was! Duncan went as a bear, I found 2 bear costumes at a garage sale this summer for a buck a piece so I grabbed both of them. Him and Gabby were both bears, they were so cute. Good thing is was on the chilly side because the bears were very warm!! Just like a snow suite. I think the bears will be used again, possibly next year! Taylor wanted to be Goldie Locks and the 3 Bears so they had a stuffed bear for bear number 3, although I am not sure if that bear went with them or not. I sat at Abby's house and Abby and I handed out candy. Not many kids in town this year. We didn't even go through a big bag of tootsie rolls. Tracy, Rhonda, Kathy, Mom, Sarah, Hannah and Rodney all went trick or treating. They all had a good time. Duncan was one tired boy when we got home and was asleep with in a half an hour, unheard of him lately.
Lately Duncan is really into reading. I love that he loves to read, it is the first thing he does when he gets up in the morning and the last thing we do at night before bed. We have always read to him at home, maybe not as much as we should. I am very glad for the girls reading their books, and papers to him when they were home schooled. He also goes to the library once a week with his Aunt Abby. He loves that, he sits in the book tower and reads while she gets her books. He also picks his own books off of the shelf while he has his reading time. We have been having lots of truck and tractor books at home! We have also been reading books about big brothers, hoping that is going to help his a little for when the babies come! He has a bag that we tote back and fourth to Abby's so he can switch his books out on a daily basis. I tried to have him return a truck book I was tired of reading the other day and he found it in the pile and put in on the counter so they would renew it because it is his truck book!! We will get it back there soon enough!
All ready to go trick or treating. Sarah collected food for the food pantry again this year.
Duncan and Gabby playing, they were on the ground most of the time before trick or treating.
This is how it all started, Duncan just wanted to give Gabby a hug!

After carving pumpkins, they were all pretty gross.
Duncan not leaving anyone out! Grandma was impressed!
All I can say is gross, I am not sure how she got her teeth clean. I am pretty sure she got her Uncle back and got some in his mouth too!
Duncan got the hang of throwing guts very quickly, he figured out you just scoop up from where ever and throw!
Duncan's pretty gross too! He had a good time.
Getting help so he can get Daddy.

Duncan and Tracy went to Night Eyes at the zoo. Duncan had a good time!! He got hot in his bear costume so he had to take it off. He saw lots of animals and got some candy. I stayed home and rested while they went there on Sat. On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch with Mom and the Hawkins, we all had a very good time!! Williams Pumpkin Paradise on 62nd Ave ( this is a reminder for me next year because we can never remember).. It is free and the kids always have a good time.
Duncan and Taylor in the maze, they were having a good time!
Tracy coming out of the box, it is very dark in there, and not lots of room, I think it was a tight squeeze in there. He went with a little boy who Tracy works with his mom and then Hannah came and got him.. Can't say no the the nieces!
Duncan liked being buried in the corn for a few minutes
Duncan in the tunnel, he wouldn't look at me... Imagine that
Sarah and Duncan playing in the hay stack. I think this was his favorite part.
Duncan and all his girls.
Haystack again, he had a blast there!
