once a month is good...

Apparently my updates are now monthly. That's not very fun, but I'm sensing that other people's autumns are similarly busy.

I had another doctor's appointment last night - in the last month I've put on eight pounds. EIGHT pounds!!! In one month. Goodness! The Dr. said that's just my body playing catch-up from the first trimester where I lost weight, but it seems like a lot. She did suggest that I not continue to pack on eight pounds a month. No more chips for me. :(

I also started a pre-natal yoga class which is lots of fun except pregnant women fart and it's kind of hard for me not to giggle when it happens (to other people - I specifically don't eat beforehand so I won't have to do that!). Also, the room smells icky sometimes.

Other than that, I've just been working. It's really all I do and it's getting very frustrating. Apparently there was a sale on pedestals at the beginning of the school year and all the adults I have to deal with have been using theirs religously. I thought my reaction to people might be because of hormones, but other non-pregnant people agree with me - people are being downright mean. I think I just need to move off the east coast. :)

Our house is painted - FINALLY! All we have left is the nursery. Oh - and it's November and the praying mantis is STILL hanging out on our snake bush - it's amazing. It's been kind of warm, so I guess it's understandable. Also, our last rose just bloomed but is already starting to wilt. It's still nice to see that shocking pink color at Thanksgiving-time though!

Speaking of which, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy time spent with lots (or little!) of family, good food, and any other traditions you have or may be starting!
