I feel like it has been a while since I did a weekly update! I'll try to catch you up with what I can remember.

Week 19 I had another doctor's appointment and everything went great. We already told you about the appointment and finding out about our sweet son! This was also during the World Series so our weekly pic was in support of our Cards! :)

Week 20 was busy busy with Halloween parties and Trunk or treat. Then I had my walk the last day of my 20th week and beginning my 21st week.

Week 21 was mostly my walk and recovering from it. Grayson began to get a lot more active and I love feeling his sweet kicks! can't wait for Tony to be able to feel them now. :)

I am in week 22 right now and feeling good. My back is hurting and goes out some, especially since the walk. Grayson is very active in there and we are both getting excited for next week for our next appointment, Thanksgiving and time with family.

Week 19 and 20

Week 21 and 22

We also got a sweet package from my momma and sister (grandma and aunt stephie) right after we found out Grayson was boy!

So who's ready for Thanksgiving next week!? I am!! Will post pics of Thanksgiving and family visiting soon! :)

3-Day Walk

We did it! We are so glad that we did the 3-Day Walk for the Cure... and I'm so glad it is OVER! Seriously, it was a great experience with lots of memories made that we will never forget! And I'm so glad to be able to say I did it pregnant and my son got to experience it with me! Now, lets recap, via pictures! :)

I picked up Cathy, my BFF and teammate (go team Popular!), on Thursday from the airport. And then we stayed at the hotel that night in Dallas (we stayed at a hotel during the walk, instead of camped) crocheting and talking and going to bed EARLY!

Friday was DAY 1 of the 3-Day. My sweet friend, Jeanne, picked us up from the hotel and took us to the Opening Ceremony in the cold and dark.

Did I mention it was cold!? Becuase it was REALLY cold! And yes, I made our earwarmers :)

Opening Ceremony

After opening ceremony we all headed out with great energy and enthusiasm! (Though, it was FREEZING)

Pit Stop 1 was just a few miles in and we were feeling good!

Then we came up to our first cheering station! Cheering stations are AWESOME! So many people cheering you on, giving you snacks and energizing you! My sweet husband was at station 1 to check on me, Cathy and baby... Such a great way to start off our walk!

21 weeks and feeling good! :)

Our lunch stop was about 10 miles in... half way done! We were still feeling good and knowing we'd be just about done for the day.

Getting back to camp on Day 1 was great! They had message chairs (thank you Jesus!) and we all just chilled out and relaxed til the last walkers came to camp and dinner was served!

And there was a sweet treat and card waiting for me from my sweet in-loves!

(it made me tear up a bit to feel so loved after walking all day)

Day 2 and most of Day 3 were kind of a blur... I was in so much pain from my legs, back, hips and blisters from Day 1, we really just focused on getting to the next Pit Stop and the next and the next... So needless to say we weren't that great at documenting as we did for Day 1.

I can say that there were A LOT of people (thousands) and we ended up walking almost 30 miles (half of the walk) which I felt good about being our first walk and walking 21 weeks pregnant.

(The "sagged" button we got for taking the bus to lunch/camp) haha

Tired.... but smiling!

There were even a few casualties from the 3-Day....

We each lost a lense from our sunglasses...

My blistered and bandaged feet... Thanks Medical tent!

Our victory picture at the end of our journey, before closing ceremony

Finally, one last pic of us in our shirts before heading to the airport...

Happy Halloween!

Most of you who know us, you know that we LOVE Halloween!! I LOVE fall and all things fall fun.. including dressing up for Halloween!!! And we had a lot of fun this year for Halloween! I really wanted to have fun with my belly bump this year... as you just never know when you'll get to again! ;) SO... This year the Tony was a basketball player, I was a referee, and Grayson was a basketball!!

The Bianco three

We had a LOT of Halloween festivities this year with lots of get togethers, friends, trunk or treat, candy and MORE candy! :)

At one Halloween party I had a few friends that were expecting as well! Here is my close friend/seminary wife, Melinda. We are due exactly one week apart!

And the three prego ladies, in order of due date!

Of course we can't forget about the guys

We also had fun at Trunk or Treat at our church again this year!...

Did you have fun on Halloween!!?
Next week is my 3Day for the Cure walk! I will have lots of pics in a couple weeks showing all 60 miles of fun! :)
