Sit tight. This One is a long One.

This weekend ended our "wedding season" and I am so happy. We had our last wedding to attend and boy was it extravagant. Nice downtown hotel with no parking. Elegant room. Live band. Boxed chocolates on the table. Beautiful burgundy dresses (on the bride, too) and seeing lots of family. I did not get any photos of Andy and me all dressed up, but I had nylons on and heels. Open toed heels. Yes, my hubby gave me a pedicure Friday night. How sweet, huh? I begged and pleaded. And well, with Jillian being such a girly girl, he better get used to it. So I looked great right down to my toes. I looked very pregnant, but great. And oh, the comments. The best is "Oh, you won't make it until December." and the shocked "December?!?!?" Yes, people. I am all belly. I have not gained anyplace else but my belly. I have a basketball belly. Deal with it. I am. You think I would not like to be un-pregnant right now?

Driving into work today, I noticed that fall snuck up on me. The trees are changing. And it is October already! Holy cow. I am kinda in the fall mood. I scrapped two pages of Jillian from last fall.You can read all the credits here. And then this one with a kit from Amy Teets:And you can read the full credits here. Hard to believe my peanut was such a . . . peanut! So tiny. My how she has changed.

The latest DigiDare was up on Friday and boy was I challenged. Trying to get Jillian's day all down on the page. I think I did pretty well.
I used another paper pack from Amy Teets, but all the credits are here. I rarely ever put more than one photo on a page. The max maybe 2, but 6!! Egads.

Yesterday began Andy's 7 days of working in a row. Poor guy. And this morning Jillian was up at 4 am. Why? Don't know, but it sucked. I am dragging despite the many cups of coffee this morning. I think we are finally started to get the sickness out of our house, too. My cough has seemed to lessen, Jillian's tooth broke through and Andy is kinda still stuffy, but he got the illness later than J and me. And in some too much information news, the never ending groin pull feeling that I have been having with this pregnancy feels a ton better this morning. Maybe the baby moved or dropped a little lower (my co-worker mentioned that I looked lower today) and is repositioned so that feeling is slowly getting better. I'd be one happy prego chick if that was the case. Imagine having a groin pull for the past 3 months. Yeah. It hurts. And in a place where it is the most uncomfortable.

I've been working on Christmas presents yesterday and today. Scrapbook related of course, but I am having fun doing something a bit different. I have a ton of layouts to do using new kits from Amy and hopefully getting some new Templates from Bree.

Have a great Monday. The Packers play tonight and will get their butts creamed so everyone around here will be glum come Tuesday. Not my problem. I expect them to get creamed. The Bears on the other hand are on a roll. THAT I like to see. And Peyton won this weekend. That was a good game, but I feel asleep a bit watching it. It looks like a great week ahead. Not much on the "to do list" but that is okay.
