Adam's asleep on the couch, and I was going to take my own Sunday nap, but I was pretty caught up in the book I was reading and couldn't put it down. So, now I'm up and feeling restless... and posting on my untouched blog!
We're hosting Thanksgiving this year, and honestly we really enjoy it. I love all of the busyness and preparation - well, maybe not all of it. I hate cleaning my house, but I love the tradition and the holiday feel all over everything. The one thing I'm doing this year that I'm having mixed feelings about is that I'm using paper plates and napkins, and plastic cutlery. On the one hand I feel liberated of the only thing that sullies this great holiday - the clean-up. On the other hand, my table is going to look pretty dull. I would love to us this occasion to get out the china we got as wedding gifts and polish the silver that I inherited from my grandmother, but not this year! I think the benefits will outweigh the costs significantly. At least, I'm trusting that they will.
Also, I discovered the Bean really loves quiche... random, but true. I ate a huge piece this morning for breakfast, and I could literally feel this little peanut doing somersaults and flips in my belly. I guess Bean likes eggs... or spinach...
I'm also happy to report that I'm actually kind of showing now. I'm not just feeling huge and bloated all the time for no reason! There's a bump that is starting to protrude in my lower abdomen and the maternity jeans I ordered could not be more perfect in their timing or their fit.

Baby!!!!
Since I last posted a bunch has changed for Adam and I! I don't want to pretend that I'm going to be "much better about writing in my blog" cause I just know it probably won't happen. :)
We're planning on doing some pregnancy photos at some point. I think I'd like 2 sets - one at the end of my second trimester and a set shortly before the baby's born, and since I'm married to a photographer, it shouldn't be too much of a problem!
We're gearing up for Thanksgiving and an insanely busy Christmas season. We're having family and friends over for Thanksgiving and plan on eating tons of food, watching White Christmas and some football, and then heading over to Dan and Nila's house (the Whitlatch's) for dessert and cards. Black Friday is definitely on the agenda this year! I tend to be a lot more productive early in the morning - I think right now my best hours are between 6am-10am. And there are a few things we're watching for, like a Tivo, some kind of HD camcorder, a blue-ray dvd player... all that fun stuff. :) Afterwards, we get to celebrate our niece's 4th birthday!! She's getting sooooo big... and way too smart!
I have tons of concerts, rehearsals, recitals, and parties to go to this year. I'm having a Christmas recital for my students on the 19th, and I'm participating in two "concerts" in vocal ensembles as well as 4 piano performances or recitals. Absolute craziness.
BUT the most exciting thing is that we learn whether our precious Bean is a boy or girl on December 8th! Should make Christmas shopping a lot more fun. We're hoping our parents can be there for the big ultrasound, but we're thinking of keeping it a secret from everyone else until Christmas. We'll see. I'm just happy that I get to find out the sex immediately! I don't think I could've handled waiting a few more weeks to find out!!!!
