Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

As you can see, we carved our pumpkins tonight. :) And yes, we do use templates. Chuck's took about 2 hours! Mine was much quicker as I do not have the patience to do anything so fancy! We'll put them out once we get home from the CU game tomorrow. :) We get quite a few trick-or-treaters through the development.

The last few weeks have been busy. The baby continues to grow...fast! We had a ultrasound at my 28 week appointment and the baby is measuring about 3 weeks ahead. Now we know why I look 8 months pregnant when I am 7 months! Ha! My glucose test came back normal, so it looks like I am "just" growing another big ol' Nellis baby! The head is measuring the most ahead, but the belly and femur are looking big as well. No news on what this will mean for when Choo Choo will arrive as things can change quite a bit by then. I'm feeling good, just large! Chuck continues to be an amazing support - taking care of pretty much everything for me.

Corinne made a quick (24 hour) trip to town last weekend. :) She was quite the fairy-godmother - she took me shopping for some great fall and winter clothes to get me through the next couple of months. Our antics seemed to entertain the girls working at Motherhood, so I think it is safe to say we had a great time. She even hemmed the sleeves for my short arms before she left!! Such service!! :)

We had a freak October snow storm this week. We only got about 16 inches over the 2 days. I say "only" because many other areas had even twice that much. Chuck got to use the new (to us) snow blower generously passed on to us from Mom and Dick. Although many offices closed for part of the storm, both of us still made the trek into work all week. The melt-0ff started already today.

Oh, and as an update to the post below, we selected a Primrose School for daycare. We both felt really comfortable with the staff there. Plus, the center goes all the way through pre-school and even has before/after school for kids up to 12. I feel really good to know that Choo Choo has care all set up.

Tomorrow is Homecoming at CU. We have some friends coming into town for the game, so it will be great fun. While Chuck was working on his intricate pumpkin, I made some caramel apples for the tailgate. Yum!
