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?
