PCP 2011

Yesterday was the annual Pumpkin Carving Party at J&J's. What fun! I be lovin errthing Autumn, so this is one of my fave activities of the whole year! Those Orfs always put on a great party!

Most memorable moment this year goes to Dean, who was a cheapo and bought a $2 pumpkin on the side of the road on his way to the party, only to find out it was rotten as all get out when he cut into it. Seriously, that thing was N-A-S-T-Y. The inside was about 1/2 liquified mush. And it had a LOVELY smell, too. Blech. Maybe next year he'll splurge and pay the extra $3 to get a non-rotted pumpkin!

Hard at work


Sam checkin out the inside of the pumpkin

 
Soney made a lil pumpkin (actually it was a squash) that had pink and blue flowers coming out of it with a sign that said "Miracle Grow." You know, for the baby. ;) Always the creative one!

I'll light up our punkins tonight and post those pics later.

Bun in the oven

So the time has finally come to share our good news...we are expecting! I am 13 weeks pregnant right now, due April 23rd, 2012. Lenny and I are both thrilled that our family is growing. We have known for a while, and it has been really hard to keep it a secret. We just wanted to make sure everything was okay and we were out of the first trimester before we told most people. Didn't want to jump the gun, you know? I had an ultrasound earlier this week and everything looked good, so we decided it was time to share the news with everyone! Yay for no longer having to make excuses for why I'm not drinking at happy hour! ;) Now everybody will know why!

So far, the pregnancy has been easy peasy lemon squeezy. I have had no morning sickness whatsoever (knock on wood), and other than being really tired the first month or two, I feel like a million bucks! Hopefully my good luck continues throughout the pregnancy.

Here are a couple pics from the 13w ultrasound.

Umm, I could very well be carrying an alien inside of me. Is that not freaky? lol

Much better. This one actually looks human.


Cool how you can see the spine in this one!

Apple Pickin

We spent the day yesterday at Eckert's in IL picking apples. Fun place! This may be a yearly tradition from now on, we really enoyed it.





Can't tell who is smiling bigger here, Bellz or the horse...
