Falafel

So I have been waiting for crazy cravings... they have yet to really present themselves on their own. I am have recently however, been very persuaded by advertisements, televisions shows and other people. For example, last nght I could not fall asleep becuase Robbie was snoring like a lunberjack. So I stayed in bed watching the Food Network (my new favorite). Last night's episode of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" was about falafel. I have no idea when the last time was that I had falafel... or if I even liked it. But I went to bed dreaming about it. So this morning, when I woke up, I make sure to tell Robbie that we were having it for lunch.

He said he knew of a famous place right down the street where they had falafel. In fact it was a "Drive in." So after we handled a few errunds, we headed down the boulevard to the "Falafel Drive in." It was this whole in the wall place in the side of the road with a HUGE line out front. It was one of those places where you had to park and walk up to the counter and place your order. I had a falafel sandwich (no tomatoes) and Robbie had a gyro. Mine was AMAZING! So yummy I am already planning my next trip there. The other cool thing was there was a poster up in the window of the diner showing off that they were featured on my other Food Network favorite, "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives." Now I know I Have to go back... soon.

8 weeks!

Well, today I hit 8 weeks and 1 day. Not the best pictures but they are all you are going to get for now...Clearly you can all my "baby bloat". Yesterday I had to use hair ties to keep my jeans buttoned. Granted they were my skinny jeans. I guess I will be saying goodbye to those in the very near future. Today Robbie and I ventured out to do some shopping and I decided it was not worth being uncomfortable so I wore exactly what you see in the photos, plus a pink hoodie. I looked around all afternoon to make sure Stacy and Clinton were not lurking around the corner.

My froat hurts

I am sick.

Stuffy nose...sore froat (AKA throat) etc.

No fun since I cannot take any medicine. Just sitting around moping. Fun weekend!

6 weeks!!!

6 weeks is a benchmark in all the books and on all of the websites that signifies the start of morning sickness. Everywhere I could read it was a warning... weeks 6-10 are not fun. Luckily, there has been no ssite (knock on wood) of it. I have some strange heartburn/overly tired feelings recently, but nothing that would induce vomiting etc. Neither my mom or Robbie's had morning sickness, so hopefully, I will follow the "tradition." On the other had, I kind of wish I would get it (just for a bit) so that I can have some evidence of being pregnant. I mean got the positive tests, still have no period and am definitely sporting some baby bloat in my tummy area...but nothing substantial. I am sure it will come sooner than later. I am very much looking forward to my first OB appointment on December 31 to make things for real!

I was excited to come home on Thursday night from work to a gift on my porch. It was survival kit that my friend Charlotte put together. So fun! Thanks Charlotte!

More "window shopping"

So the site won't let me copy and past the picture so you will have to visit yourself. But this is CUTE!

I know it is too early...oh well

I know it is too early to discuss the baby's room etc. but when I need to destress, and think about things other than work etc... I search for things online.


Isn't this cute?

Nothing exciting to report...

Last night, the colorguard I teach was in a holiday parade. It is a community tradition, and lots of other local marching bands and colorguards are in it. I of course had to ( I mean get to) tag along.

It was the first time all fall I got to bundle up in many layers. Here are some photos Robbie took before I headed out the door.
