Taken at a family friend's Oktoberfest party yesterday :) The stein was just used for the photo :)
The stump was for a game called Hammerschlager... a very tough game where you pound nails into the stump and then win money if you pound yours in first. I'm guessing it got more difficult after I left due to the large quantities of beer consumed.
Another uneventful week - I did have an appointment with a midwife on Friday, and I'm now up approximately 12 pounds from pre-pregnancy (a little difficult to know for sure since I'm not really sure of my pre-pregnancy weight). Blood pressure was low, my uterus was measuring a tiny bit large, and hearing the heartbeat again was great! She must have been active because it was almost at 160 :)
I am full on in maternity clothes (or loose-fitting normal clothes) now - I packed up all my stuff that won't fit. I could still do the bella band, but maternity pants are just easier. I am kind of addicted to buying maternity clothes too, but I promised Ben I'd stop now (for awhile at least :). I'm excited that it is finally cooling down now so I can wear all the cute fall/winter clothes I got!
We got the furniture out of the future nursery, so now we just have to give that room a good scrub down so my sister can come over and paint for us :) I have also been making progress on figuring out our baby gear - I have made decisions and registered for most things now, so that feels good! The only furniture item we still need to pick out is the glider - when at Babies R Us, Ben made the mistake of sitting in the super expensive one that fully reclines and now he is trying to decide if it is worth it or not - I am fine with the more reasonably priced one, so I told him it's up to him... we'll see what he chooses.
The other excitement this week was that my neighbor Molly had her baby! Baby Mia was born one week late, on our 4th anniversary, September 24th :) Nate and Molly got home from the hospital yesterday and we took a walk around the neighborhood with them and the wee one - she's so tiny and beautiful! It's pretty crazy to think that in just 4 months that will be us...

That picture is too cute... good luck on the glider - funny what dads-to-be decide they need.
My wife has also completed a maternity shopping spree buy I think she looks cute in all of her outfits so I'm cool with it :-) She just let me know that she's been planning the nursery theme for years--underwater sea adventure or some such shit. She's already bought a bunch of neat stuffed animals and vinyl wall pictures to add once I paint it.
Ahh good times :-)
