Pie and pickles

I go from craving Cherry pie to pickles in less then 2 min. How is that possible you ask? I am still not quite sure! But I have a love for both. So they say that if you are craving sweets you are having a little girl and if you are craving sour things you are having a little boy? How can I explain my addiction to sour patch kids. Those little chewy candies that burn the taste buds off them after 10 candies ... they are so good. I have been trying to to eat as much meaning limiting my self to say only a pack ever 2 days instead of every day... I go to the dentist next week and I just know that they are going to find all kinds of cavities after all the Candie I have had in the last few months! wow... So I think I am starting to feel this little one move around a bit... its a funny feeling that I can't quite explain... not a flutter because what exactly is a flutter but definitely pressure and tickles but only for a moment and then it's gone..

We are looking forward to our up coming Thanksgivings I say that in a plural tense because we go home to have dinner with my Dad this weekend and then on to Gene's folks the follwing weekend! It's going to be great- but I better keep the work out up or I could explode and then I never will be my normal self agian! Okay enough for today!

17 weeks.

Next Wednesday I will finish my 17Th week. It has all been fun so far, except the being tired and not being about to "hang out" any more.... but my pregnancy has been easy, no sickness, and very few mood swings! (in my opinion, guess you will have to ask Gene for the full scoop on that one)- I have done a lot of planning and studying up so far which as been fun... I guess we will see how useful it all is in the Baby arrives. This weekend has been great... yesterday we went out with Marcie and Matt to the Hand made show for etsy here in Chicago. We got our names on the waiting list for next month.. which will be a big one with Christmas coming up and everything. I will need to get on the ball and get some things make for it... I have started on some hats again as well as some baby burp cl0ths. - I also have managed to get some pumpkins carved. Yes i know I am almost 2 weeks late.. but better late then never! :)

Until next time....

Now November?

I really can't believe that it is November all ready. October flew by in a blink. After our travels to Charleston, and New York and all the fun I was having a work.. I just blinked and October was over. Fall is definitely here in Chicago. My neighborhood is full of yellow and Orange leaves and I am wishing I would have got my 2 pumpkins carved for Halloween. Yes I bought 2 beautiful Orange pumpkins but now they are just sadly sitting in the kitchen with no faces on them. Is it silly to carve them after Halloween? Perhaps I will do that to night.

With the new baby on board I have felt so tired and lazy. I have not been motivated to knit at all, and I can't explain why that is. I was a knitting addict until 17 weeks ago. Now... nothing. Although I have been sewing on my singer a little, I made a few hats last weekend which I will try and post on here along with my Pumpkin faces. Yes!! I am going to carve even though It's past time! :) Better late then never.....
See you tomorrow.
