SUSPENSE!!! Ready, Set, GO!

Mornin' friends! As most of you now know, we (or Brandon) know the sex of Baby J! We are having friends and family over THIS Sunday to reveal the gender to everyone! (Including me!) I can't believe I am waiting to find out, the suspense is killing me! I still think and feel girl. I am trying to pry it out of Brandon, but he's so good at keeping a poker face. So I guess let the countdown to Sunday begin!

The ultrasound went really well yesterday. My mom was able to go with us which was exciting. Baby J wasn't in the best position to see the face or even a profile of the face, but we did get a few good shots. The best pictures we got yesterday were of the spine and feet! Those feet looked really long and narrow....hmmmm, does not describe my feet at all. The pictures of the spine honestly reminded me of a dinosaur, I don't know why, maybe because I talk about reptiles all the time at work, but Baby J was looking rather animal-y yesterday to me! Another discovery we made from this ultrasound was that the nose is rather large....I kinda hope I imagined that image in my head ;) Here are the sonograms from yesterday: 

Another adventure for Brandon this past weekend was going deep sea fishing for the first time! He got to go with a bunch of guys from work that go every year. They left out from the beaches of Panama City and went about 70 miles into the gulf. They caught a BUNCH of fish! Enough for us to turn on our deep freezer for the first time :) I am super pumped because I LOVE fresh fish and am so happy to know Brandon is the one who caught what we will be eating for the next year! Not to brag on him or anything but he did catch the two largest fish. A 25 lb. King Mackerel and a 21 lb. Grouper.....not too bad for his first time!

Here is a photo of the whole group and their very large bounty of fish!

 

The last fish on your left is the Mackerel B caught!

Well folks, this may be the last blog post until next week! This weekend is going to be a little nuts as my park is having it's like 10th annual Barfield Halloween Bash. This includes the Old Scream Road Haunted Hayride, the Not-So-Haunted Trail, and the huge carnival with games, prizes, and food. My co-workers and I plan and put together the hayride for the Not-So-Haunted Trail. It's for younger kids, and is based on a children's book. The book basically comes to life along the trail with real live  characters, props, lights, and decorations all along the trail. All the while you and your family get to enjoy a hayride as well :) Do I sound like an advertisement?! For $3.00/person it is probably one of the cheapest Halloween events you can attend, not to mention the quality of the event. So if you have little ones, bring them out to Barfield Friday or Saturday night from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

If you decide to come, look for the owl on the Not-So-Haunted Trail ;)

Thanks for reading friends!
