Happy Halloween!

I got up bright and early today when my phone rang at 6:30am. It was the helpdesk calling to alert me that absolutely nothing was wrong on the servers (not really... they thought something was wrong, but as usual it was nothing). One more week of call and I'm out of the rotation for good. Yay!! I managed to go back to sleep for about another hour though before getting up to work on my to do list. First was the giant stack of receipts that I've been delaying entering into the computer (I'm trying to itemize sales tax this year -- thanks Mandy and James, you suck). Then I did a little yoga, had a little breakfast, and did a little reading in Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. Finally Eric got up so I started vacuuming like a crazy person. Ahhh nice and clean.

A little later I managed to get dressed and out of the house for another Baby Shopping Spree. I used almost all the coupons in the latest mailer to pick up: a baby monitor, changing table pad & accessories, newborn size diapers, huge pack of wipes, nursing pillow, a variety of bottles, and a baby book.


Luckily I had brought Auntie Natalie along and she chipped in for baby's first Swaddle Me blanket, and this really cute blanket.


I also did some grocery shopping and picked up a few other random things at BB&B to help me get the nursery nice and tidy and organized.

When I got home Eric informed me that we would in fact be making an appearance at the Halloween party that we were originally going to bail on because he was sick. So I got myself all prettied up and we headed out. And that is when I realized that Halloween parties suck when you are pregnant... especially when all there is to snack on is candy and you've just been told you're gaining too much weight. But it was fun dressing up and I was glad to have the opportunity to get my 31 week preggo picture in costume. I actually wore this same thing two years ago... but I'm filling out the top a little better this time :)
