                                  Happy Birthday to our niece Katie! It's been a while since I've updated. 
                                It's funny, when Jenn doesn't update for a while, 
                                I totally hassle her. Now I see, sometimes you 
                                just get busy. It's a lot of responsibility staying 
                                on top of this thing. Which might be part of why 
                                I haven't really told many people it's here yet... 
                               We're at ten weeks on pregnancy 
                                charts, eight weeks since conception (the whole 
                                pregnancy tracking thing is just surprisingly 
                                confusing!) According to From From 
                                Conception to Birth: A Life Unfolds, the baby 
                                is just over two inches long, weighs about a quarter 
                                of an ounce and is beginning its first teething 
                                process. Wow, two inches long and growing teeth?! 
                                None of this explains why my clothes are getting 
                                tight around my waist, does it? Next Wednesday, we get to hear 
                                the baby's heartbeat. Can't wait! Saw Intolerable 
                                Cruelty last night. Jim and Terry literally 
                                cracked up the entire time. It was okay, but I 
                                guess it's not exactly my kind of humor. It's 
                                that offbeat kind of comedy like Fargo and O' 
                                Brother Where Art Thou. Now, if you ask me about 
                                funny, I think of when the bathtub falls through 
                                the roof in The Money Pit and Tom Hanks has this 
                                slow build up, excruciatingly painful laughing 
                                fit. Or, in Arthur II when Dudley Moore is in 
                                his limo and he opens the door and taps on the 
                                limo window next to him. When the guy rolls down 
                                the window, Dudley says, "Excuse me, but 
                                do you have any Grey Poupon?" Now THAT'S 
                                funny!  Pumpkin party last week was really 
                                fun. I heard from a few people that their pumpkin 
                                parties didn't result in carved pumpkins. Ours 
                                did. Check 'em out. 
     
 This is Heather (party at her 
                                house) and Katie, her little girl, and Sequoia, 
                                our other friends, Dave and Tamantha's little 
                                girl. Heather's husband, Scott, did our astrological 
                                charts and it was AMAZING. I'm a triple Gemini 
                                and he basically said my chart says I should teach 
                                communication. He didn't know that I DO teach 
                                communication! Wow, huh? We got eight trick or treaters 
                                on Halloween. At least we didn't get interrupted 
                                while watching Monsters, Inc. Is it weird that 
                                I cried again at that movie?    |
