Some bullets of niceness

1. We went to a wedding last night for Former Coworker Sarah from Boston and Bradley. What a gorgeous wedding! The room was so gorgeous with lots of white lights and six christmas trees with white lights on them and good god it must have cost a fortune! But they are both totally awesome people and they looked stunning and so happy and I am thrilled for them.

2. The wedding itself was fun because I got to see a couple of former coworkers from Boston: Nicole, Krissy, Sara, and Natasha. And their SOs. It was a good time, but our table was right in front of the band which was SO LOUD so we couldn't do a ton of talking. Natasha went to one of the same docs as me back in Boston and we got to dish about hating him - that was a good time. But the band was so loud and the bass kept thumping through my belly. Jen and I were kind of nervous about that so we left early.

3. Jen informed me this morning that while I was in the shower, Krissy said something to Nicole about how anyone who knew me before would totally know I was pregnant because I was super skinny! (Not totally true but very flattering.) And Natasha kept saying I looked great and she and Sarah went on about how I was glowing. (Not true.) But it made up for the very uncomfortable shoes!

4. This morning we went to Burlington Coat Factory to scope out a bedding set that I've been drooling over online. Of course they didn't have it at all, but they DID have a Graco SnugRide with EPS in a really cute pattern - Patchwork Cows - which we both liked better than the others we'd seen online /and/ the EPS SnugRides are sold out everywhere because of the most recent crash tests. So we bought it. We bought a frickin' car seat! That is totally crazy.

5. But then grandma slipped me some casino winnings, so I guess SHE bought us a car seat. Awesome.

We bought a snugride about a month ago when the crash test first came out.

I LOVE the cows! They did not have that when we were looking. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

Ours is a cheaper version that doesn't come with the head rest but we can get one no problem. But yours is cute!

Apparently the cow print is only available at Target online (not in store) or at Baby Depot (Burlington Coat Factory). They had three of them. Who knew?

Yay carseat!

So crazy!

yay carseat.

And believe me, I never thought I glowed but everyone said I was. Get used to it.

I wonder if they just say that because they know I'm knocked up? I mean, at my new job, no one says I glow or anything. Just my super-nice former coworkers. :)

the cows are cute!

Thank you! I like that it is not pastel.

You probably ARE glowing, because you are so clean. No booze, less junk food/caffiene, etc. I bet you are showing too...oh, I have an idea. What about a picture?! (Ha, was that subtle enough?) :)

I'm due for another picture tomorrow night. I've just been really lazy about uploading them. I will try!

I actually am pretty healthy with the food eating. I stopped drinking alcohol 2 years ago because of Metformin, and gave up caffeine soon after because Jen has high blood pressure. Now I'm starting to get bad skin, and let me tell you, THAT'S sexy!!

1. Well, they didn't have ornaments on them but there were evergreen-type trees with white lights. Very pretty.

2. I don't mind bass in my belly but I don't want to bug the baby!

Tell him to get his own baby! ;)
