Sick!

The only thing worse than being sick is being pregnant and sick! Ugh... it started out with strep-like symptoms (a sore throat and fever) and then moved into my lungs and head. Now it's just a cold. Humph! This week has c r a w l e d by it seems. I managed to make it through the whole day at work today, but am now very tired. I am thankful for a kind husband who took care of me and went without dinner for a couple nights in a row. What a trooper! It was soup and toast for me. Hopefully I will finish recovering this weekend.

Spooky Stuff

Can you guess who carved which pumpkin?? I'll give you a hint...mine took about 30 minutes to draw and carve. Ryan's took over an hour! He really gets into this type of thing!
Ryan and I had a pretty uneventful Halloween. We didn't have very many trick-or-treaters, so Ryan munched on the candy all night and I took the rest to school for my kiddos. We watched a movie (The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown) and I made this yummy white chicken chili and cornbread. It is finally cooling off here and feeling more like fall.
I am 14 weeks now and still feeling great. I am not really showing yet...I just look like I've been eating too much Halloween candy! It will be great during the holidays...I can just wear some baggy clothes and chow down! Ryan and I have been having fun thinking of names and how we want to decorate the nursery. My only real "cravings" so far have been bagels w/ cream cheese (which I've been eating almost every morning for the past 2 weeks) pineapple, raspberries, apples, broccoli w/ ranch dressing, and sourdough bread. I guess it's better than pickles. Oh, and thanks to my sister I've also been eating mass quantities of the Dreyer's Loaded icecream...chocolate peanut butter cup flavor.
