Ginny Weasley

Tiff had what looks like a pretty fun Halloween party at work today (I actually worked at work today). Check her out, she was Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter. Her group went at the whole Harry Potter gang.

Zoinks...Early Halloween

Busy week. We passed week 14, went to the doctor and went to two Halloween parties. 179 days to go (mom, that does not mean 179 shopping days left). On Friday, we went to Tiff's monthly doctor's visit. Everything is going well and we got to see the baby again. The doctor had to use the portable ultrasound to see the heartbeat because the baby was hiding and she couldn't hear the heartbeat with the Doppler. Our next appointment is the day before Thanksgiving which is when we will find out the sex. On Saturday, we went to two different Holloween parties (I know, we are quite the socialites). Good thing I guess, because everyone keeps telling me to do everything we can before the baby is born. One of the parties was a 70's theme. Tiff and I were having a hard time finding 70's costumes so we went as Scooby and Shaggy (that's pretty 70's right?). Check us out, don't we look sweet!? I also included a picture of Tiff's brother Scott in his best 70's Bill Gates costume.

Pumpkin Carving

Tiff and I carved pumpkins today. While we were out yesterday, we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some pumpkins. We each searched for the perfect one (I spent way too much time on this, but then again, that's how I am). I can't think of the last time I carved a pumpkin, so I had a lot of fun. We bought a carving kit so we cheated on the designs. We are so proud of our skills regardless. Tiff also sorted through all the "guts" to separate the seeds and baked them. I expanded my skills and also carved a watermelen that has been sitting in our kitchen for months. Check out our masterpieces:

One Third of the Way There

We passed week 13 a few days ago. Our next doctor appointment is on Friday, I am little excited as it seems like forever since we were there last. Plus, its always fun to get the afternoon off from work. I am sure that soon enough it will seem like we are going all the time. All is going well. It seems like everyone we know is expecting as well. I think this makes it nice for Tiff because she has plenty of people to "compare notes" with.

Twelve Weeks

We reached the twelve week mark on Tuesday. That means we will be entering the second trimester soon and maybe (hopefully) Tiff won't be so tired. Although I guess I can't complain too much since she really hasn't been sick at all so far. She has had a non stop craving for Mac and Cheese for the last three weeks now. Tonight was the second time she has had it in the past week and she is a big fan of Trader Joe's frozen Mac and Cheese. One more week and we will be one third of the way!
