The pumpkin mob

I'm loving the pumpkin hats, Whitney humored me long enough for a photo but isn't too keen on wearing it til next year with little Wesley. Olivier was held against his will and wouldn't take a group photo. Then he spent the rest of the evening attacking me. I think that he is more anxious for me to get back to life than Whit or I, though we are counting down the days.


Though its a little early to be carving pumpkins its one of the few Halloween activities that I can do this year. So we are carving twice. Here is round 1. We went over to carve with the Neros and made some yummy caramel apples. I prefer friendly over scary.

28 weeks and counting....

Here I am at 28 weeks. Though I don't think I am much bigger than I was at 20 weeks I must be cause the comments are starting to come. I chalk it up to karma cause I always told Audra how great she looked and laughed when she told me the comments that she got.

As far as an update goes, I am on a water diet due to kidney stones and feel as if I just might float away. I am taking lovenox shots thanks to family history of clots and rest. I am happy to say that I haven't bruised but instead have "love marks" covering my belly. Only 2 more months of rest and 3 months til Wesley makes his appearance.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Whitney! Now is it 25 or 26? I always get confused. I know its a little embarrassing when you don't even know how old your husband is. But in my defense, when we met he said that he was 23. So a few weeks later when his birthday rolled around I naturally added a year. So last year I thought we were celebrating his 25th birthday, nope he was only 24. Oops! I forgot to consider the "rounding rule".
But this year we did celebrate his 25th birthday and we were definitely going to have cake. (I had to make up for last year when I totally forgot and instead had a disgusting gluten free pie that we bought last minute.) When I asked Whitney what kind of cake he wanted this year, thinking yellow or chocolate? He said he wanted a gun cake. A gun cake? Yep. So I asked my sister Christina to help me out since she is great at making / decorating cakes. Not being a big fan of guns we also decided to make a fall / halloween cake since it is his favorite time of year.
To celebrate his birthday we enjoyed a free meal at Paradiso (gotta love the free meals) and just enjoyed spending the day together. Later we had some friends over for games and pizza. An hour after we ordered the pizza and still hungry we called, only to find out that they delivered to the upstairs apartment. Arghhh... So they rushed us out some fresh pizzas and the neighbors got pizza too. Whit went off to the midnight movie and I happily went to bed.
