Carving Pumpkins with the Willis Family

More Pictures from the Pupkin Patch.

A few updates...

Everything is going well in the Whiteside home. Just a few updates:
We put our house on the market when I found out I was having twins (partially hormonal, partially wanting to get closer to family). Now that I am 2.5 months from delivering, and the market is pretty slow, we decided to remove the house from the market and start nesting. We will reconsider the move later 2011.
As for the twins, they are growing and growing. FYI, as the twins grow, so does MAMA.The good thing is, we are all healthy.
We are waiting for the birth of Baby Weaver. I am so excited to have another nephew and for all the kids to grow up with one another just like I did with all my cousins. We are expecting him on Dec 1st!!!!!

I am going to post a few pictures of our Pumpkin Patch adventure as well as our night of Carving with cousins Jim, Corey and Wren.

Stay tuned for Halloween Pictures.

Our Beautiful Sierra.......

October............

I have been lagging on The Whiteside blog, but I can admit that I have been keeping busy. We are still on track with the twins. I am about 21 weeks now which is over half way for me. The doctor has me down for somewhere close to Jan 20th (37 weeks) for a scheduled c-section. This pregnancy has been going along great, but I have to say it is slightly different then my pregnancy with Sierra. My belly is growing more rapidly, I get out of breath quicker, but the biggest difference is my exercise regimen. With out my dad keeping me on track with my swim laps, I am pretty much doing only house work and chasing after Sierra. As much as I cant wait to have my family of 5 all at home, I am super excited to get back to myself (running, biking and swimming).
Sierra is doing awesome. She has been the little adventure lately. We spend 80% of our day outside and going to visit people and places. We went to Sea World with aunt Kate the other day, which was so much fun. She was introduced to Penguins, Seals, Shamu and the best part of all, a whole world of Elmo and Abbey. Oh yes, by the way Sierra has named her brother and sister, Abbey and Elmo. (I am hoping she is not disappointed when we really dont name them those names!)
On a sadder note, we lost our little cousin Noah to cancer this month. He was only 12, but had been battling this ugly disease for 6 years. He will always be in our heart, and please stay tuned to my 1st annual No One As Heroic 5k run/walk coming sometime next year to help raise money for the Noah fund.
So much to report, but for now I will end with upcoming events:
Cory and Bubba are due First part of December with baby boy #2
Auntie Kate and Hank are due with a surprise baby first part of Nov
Mom and Pop are preparing for 5 grandchildren in January (super excited)
and lots lots more to come...........

Hope everyone is well and I promise to keep you updated with the latest in the Whiteside Household.
