Arizona State Fair

While in Az. The fair was going on. I was super excited. Since the closest fair to us is like 2 hours away and it was going on when we were gone anyhow.

I haven't been to the fair since we moved from Az. So it was quite nice.

We went on a Sunday afternoon, so it really wasn't too busy. I was just there for the atmosphere and of course, Food!

Its a pretty big fair I think. Although I haven't been to a ton really.

Nick, Me and Dad on the Ferris wheel.

I was so thankful Nick got to be there!

This was B's first fair, and she got to enjoy it as well! She kept asking to do this slide, over and over again! Which was ok cause they didn't charge her tickets for it and everyone but me had the wristbands....so it worked!

Nick, My sister and her BF Brendan. They were waving to B, who started crying when they left.

Of course she rode the carousel with Grandpa. She smiled after she passed us...everytime.

Is there a Basketball, Beachball, or Soccerball in there?!

LOL.

I knew I was more belly then I was last time, but when I saw these pictures, I was like whoa

what is that?! Ha.

I had my 31 weeks appointment today.

Her heartbeat is in the 150s. Its been in the 140s.

Measuring great.

Gained 20 pounds so far.

At 32 weeks with Brynlee I had gained 24 pounds, so I think I'm doing rather well for the second baby. As long as I don't totally blow up in the next 6-9 weeks!

If I do, oh well. As long as Baby Girl is healthy!

I do not have a 31 week picture with B.

I have a 34 one I believe it was. So next one will be then, so I can compare the difference.

Don't you love how B is just staring at me taking the picture!? Lol.

Silly Girl.

Surprise!

So, as we were nearing the end of this deployment, my friend Holly was here keeping us company. I had a wedding to photograph in AZ in Oct...so we had plans to go out there and visit my dad and sister and some friends along with the wedding. Holly, B and I were driving to Arkansas, to my moms, to drop the dogs off. Plus its way cheaper to fly out of Little Rock then either Jacksonville or Atlanta. We planned to leave Oct 3, and Holly was flying out of there on the 5th. Well then I got word Nick was suppose to arrive on the 5th. So Holly being the awesome person she is, suggested staying and surprising him. So she canceled her flight (we found out that from my moms to her parents where she is staying was only 4 hrs so we just drove half way!)

So between the 3 different changes in arrival time, we did end up staying and surprising Nicholas when he got off that bus, not expecting anyone to greet him. The look on his face was priceless. I loved that we got to stay, but then we left the next morning. Still, totally worth it! Plus he came and met us in Phx!

Waiting for the bus!

Love it!

She missed her daddy so much!

Ah to be together again!
