Snow much fun!

 Our first big snow fell this weekend and Connor was very excited to go out and play in it!  He got his first shovel for Hanukkah and he ran right out to help Daddy with the driveway.

He quickly got bored of shoveling, so we played in the snow on the side.  Daddy threw piles of snow on him and he thought it was funny!

Oops.  Daddy threw too much!

Connor pulled out the wagon from the garage and asked me to take him for a ride.  This is extra tiring when there's snow on the ground and I'm pregnant, but we did it!

We also took out the slide and tried to slide down it into the snow piles!

We had a great time outside together!

Our Week

We woke up to this one morning...

Connor took off his sleep sack during the night and put it over his head like a hood!

Connor and Daddy made a fort last weekend and we kept it up all week to play in.  I think after a few days I enjoyed it more than anyone!  I went inside and begged Connor to come in and play.

The ipad is getting lots of use now.  :::sigh::: Connor loves watching this one episode of Mickey when Santa comes and he's also been playing Paint Sparklers a lot too.

Connor went to his first dentist appointment on Thursday!  In preparation, we worked on brushing his teeth all week.  I was sad I couldn't be there for his first appointment, but Daddy said it went very well.  He has some white spots on his teeth so we got some special paste to put on every night.

On Friday night, daycare had their annual holiday party!  I surprised Connor by knocking on the window from outside.  He ran right over to the window and jumped up and down until I came into his classroom.

This was his first full week in the big kids room, so I asked him to show me around and point out some of his favorite toys.  He went right to the dress up clothes and grabbed the mailman hat.  His friend, Sienna, put on the policeman hat and let me take pictures of them!

They had some cookie decorating and ornament making activities that we participated in.  When Santa came, Connor got really scared and he started getting clingy.  "I scared!"  But we had fun and it was nice to spend a little extra time at daycare playing!

12 Weeks

 Holy crap, I'm just about at 2nd trimester!

Monday was my first day at my new job, so I decided to go all out and do a bump reveal that day too.  This was also the first day I think I've looked cute in months, so yay!

No one said anything, but it was still so nice to feel "out" and I was happy to wear normal clothes and not worry about people looking at me.

No one said anything all week at work until Friday when I hung my "Baby on Board" sign on my new cube.  My guess is that people think something's up, but they aren't going to say anything until they see the sign.

As for clothes, I'm at that awkward stage that nothing fits.  My normal clothes are all getting too small and shirts are getting too short.  I was really hoping my maternity stuff would fit, but some of the pants are still too big.  I'm hoping maybe I can get into them in another week or so.

 One of my new ideas during the last couple weeks was cucumber water!  I was inspired by the water at the salon when I got my facial and it's a good way to stay hydrated.  People at work probably thought I was nuts for having some weird green stuff in my cup, but it's yummy.

I'm very into strawberries right now.  There were days when I ate a whole container in just one morning!  I started buying the jumbo box and now it takes forever to cut them all.

 

 I'm also strangely into soup.  How did that happen? I'm SO not a soup person.  But a little taste of the hubby's soup last week inspired me to start eating it.  So good!

We even made our own chicken tortilla soup on Saturday!  Amazing!

So...on to 2nd trimester now! My Facebook pregnancy reveal is just about complete and the world will found out the big news!
