Halloween and beyond

Bella and Dan love to dress up for Halloween (ok, maybe more like Bella & I love it and Dan tolerates it). This year Bella was a pink piglet, and Dan was a purple monkey. They both loved to see all the kids dressed up and coming to the door.





this weeknend Dean is deer hunting...as of last night they had not had great luck...GO DEER! :) I was supposed to go to St. Cloud to see Sarah, but I just didn't feel up to it. The long drive, combined with the possible deer on the road, and that I have just been feeling more tired than usual these days, I bailed out...I AM SOOOO SORRY SARAH!!!

If you note my photo on the left, my belly is definately getting bigger...and I gained 10 POUNDS in one month!!! HELLO! TEN POUNDS! What the heck!?! I passed my gestational diabetes test, no problem...109. But, my hemaglobin and hematocrit are both a little low. Not sure if they will up my iron or not yet. My doctor also told me she would like me to switch to 8 hour shifts. I am not sure how that will work...I need to talk to my manager and see what we can come up with. I really don't want to increase the # of days per week that I am working...so we'll just have to see.

My mom came over yesterday and we cleaned out 2 closets in preparation to work on the baby's room. They look great! Thanks MOM! I love cleaned out rooms/closets...it just amazes me how much better it makes me feel when I open that closet door! LOVE IT!
