Halloween

So, this is super late, and I totally realize that, but life has been CRAZY lately.

As you know we moved at the end of October. Well, the day before we moved, I took a sick day, because I had a horrible cold. I was able to pack up a ton of our stuff and rest so I would be ready for moving day.

I also had this crazy idea that I should bake cupcakes for my work party--because I really wanted to win the "cutest treat" contest.

I was up baking until midnight, and I woke up to frost the cupcakes super early the next day (moving day). I also had to dress up for work, because I had the cutest costume idea that didn't work out as planned, but worked out in the end.

Here is a picture of me from work on the Friday before Halloween:


I was a salt shaker :) and very very tired...and I wasn't wearing my flip flops in the picture...I promise I keep my shoes on at work whenever I'm away from my desk.

Had I not been moving and had I had the proper resources, I would have made a costume for David, and he would have been the pepper!

It all worked out in the end though and all my hard work payed off. I did indeed win the cutest treat contest for these little cupcakes:



They've got ghosts on top of them, if you can't figure that out.

I also won the most creative costume contest, which was an added bonus.

All-in-all, Halloween was good, but next year we'll probably really do something for Halloween, instead of move!

32 weeks down, 8 to go!

Can you believe that I only have a little over 50 days until my due date!? I sure can't!

The time is passing so quickly these days and I'm starting to get really excited/anxious about our little arrival!

I had my 32 week check-up today and everything is going well. I measured right on and I have gained 21 lbs. since the beginning of my pregnancy. The baby is head down and her heart beat was around 130. We went over the results of the glucose test I did last time and I was at 100, and they want you to be under 140 so I've got nothing to worry about in that department.

We also went over the signs of preterm labor (hopefully something that doesn't happen!!) and talked a little big about what I'm planning on for delivery.

I scheduled my next appointment for 2 weeks from now! How crazy is it that I'm going every two weeks now?? Seriously I am starting to freak out that it is so close!

In other news, we received our travel system in the mail, and I've got it all put together. We decided to go with the Chicco KeyFit 30, which I think will turn out to be a good choice. Not much else is going on these days other than the fact that we just moved and my apartment is still full of boxes and needs to be organized! I have been working bit by bit to get things in their proper places but it is not usually what I look forward to after a long day of working. I suppose I'll have everything done by the end of the week (I hope!).

Oh, one last thing...David has been applying for internships like crazy, and he applied to one this morning that is in Albany, NY! How crazy would that be to live in NY? I hope he gets it because it would be a great opportunity, but at the same time I want him to get an internship that's a bit closer to home. Only time will tell! Keep your fingers crossed!

The next time I get around to taking a picture of my not so little belly, I'll be sure to post it!

Until next time!!
