Baby Bobble Head




In case there was any doubt after 6 pregnancy tests, and 2 missed periods, I had my first ultrasound last night at Jordan Hospital in Plymouth. I got to see my baby bobble head for the first time & it's little heart beat <3 I have to wait 3 days to call my doctor so they can look at the images and take measurements (of what I'm not sure) and give me a more accurate due date. Hopefully I'm no less than 9 weeks, I'd like to get this 1st trimester over with as soon as possible, because dry heaving in the driveway before work every morning is getting real old.

The simple things

It's the simple things in life that make me happy. I was out with my friend Vanessa yesterday, its always good to get back together with old friends to do absolutely nothing. We've been friends since we were 3 yrs old, and it's nice to be able to enjoy each other's company and not feel like you always have to "do" something. Anyways we hung around Coffee Obsession in Falmouth a.k.a. "Coffee O" and watched the remaining participants of the marathon leave (I was quite jealous of their metallic Dunkin Donuts blankets ...)and then we wondered off to our old hang out spots, otherwise known as Spinakers & the "Wall" near the library. We ended up in the nostalgia store (I don't know it's actual name)next to Liam Maguires. I found this apron, and it automatically ended up on my christmas list, thats right I want an apron for christmas, should look darling over the baby bump ....





And on a completely unrelated side note, I've been wanting lobster so bad but my Lobster missions have always been cut short ... The past 3 mondays stop & shop had them on sale, my mom goes to get them this morning and they're not on sale .... damnit. I called cooks today to get a lobster roll, they're closed for the season, the website is wrong they are not open till november ..... damnit again.

Not All Bisquick Is Created Equal






I was always kinda biased towards bisquick, figuring it all tasted like sand at best, but I've actually come to appreciate it, observe the Blueberry & Lemon Coffee Cake, so easy a portagee can make it :)

"This Is Halloween ... This Is Halloween"





Today was my first official saturday off, ever, in life. It was surprisingly productive as well, which was a bonus. Today, as most saturdays are going to be, was a "Mommy & Me" day. I have little man by myself as Michael's on a 24 hour shift on the ambulance. We went to the Silver City Galleria to find him a costume that was 1)cute 2)he would tolerate and 3)didn't cost more than a tank of gas. We succeeded, we found a "101 Dalmations" costume that didn't have ant obnoxious hand or feet covers that he would rip off, and it was only $20.00. Than, along with my Sister in law we went to "Bertucci's" restaurant with little man. He was good, for him, meaning he got off his chair only 4 times, and sat back down with out having a screaming fit and had a couple of bites of his food.

After our excersion at the mall we followed rt 140 all the way to the end and went to the Buttonwood Park Zoo for a while. Everything's all set up for "Boo At The Zoo", and they had 3 tractors out that the kids could sit on as well as tables with local produce and a blacksmith demonstration. I have to say I enjoy Halloween far more than Christmas because, while it does have the commercialization, I don't feel the materialistic choke hold that I do come december, and Halloween to me still has the same innocence as it did when I was growing up. I have more fun now that I'm a mom, it allows me to live vicarously through my son and do all the dorky mom things like bake cupe cakes and go on hay rides. I'm pretty pumped for the Halloween Carnival coming up at the Heritage Museums, which we signed up for already. I'm trying to decide wether or not I'm going to dress up, I wanted to go as something that matched my son's costume, but I really don't wanna be the ass in a adult dog costume walking around the carnival.

I made like a good house frow after dinner, and 2 loads of laundry :) and made pumpkin cupcakes with vanilla frosting all decorated for Halloween.
