Halloween! Hockey and week 24

Another weekend has come and gone.  They seem to fly by these days.  Having been out of the town the past three weekends in a row it was fantastic to be home!  We definitely stayed busy though.  The snow squalls of last week motivated me to get ready for winter.  Cut the grass one last time, put the patio furniture in the shed and started the never ending battle of raking leaves. 

Outside of yard work there was lots of hockey played this weekend.  Brendan and I played a drop-in on Saturday that was lots of fun.  Team Sole Tattoo moved to 2-0-1 in our league game tonight.  The drop-in maybe wasn't the best idea, I was worthless tonight.  Worthless or not, its good to be playing competitively again.  I had somehow forgotten how much I loved playing.

The Whites hosted a Halloween party at their place Saturday night, so we got dressed up and headed up.  Neither of us had planned on dressing up so our costumes were pretty last minute.  I found a mullet and put on my puma track suit.  Lexi found costume bits and went as Wonderwoman.  We played some darts, and had a few beverages (Lexi had Shirley Temples).  It was a great time.

We've reached 6 months!  Still completely amazed that there is a human being inside that will be here in 4 short months.  He is moving around a lot and getting stronger every day.  I was sitting on the couch with my hands on my stomach and my hand actually moved when he kicked!

Still feeling really great.  Unfortunately no great stories about cravings or hormonal rages.  Bending over is getting harder, sleeping is starting to be a little more uncomfortable and I've been getting a little bit of a delayed indigestion/heartburn thing but in general I'm still feeling pretty normal. 

After multiple online orders and returns I've finally acquired 2 pairs of maternity jeans that actually fit decent and are long enough.  Not a huge fan of the full spandex belly panel but I'll get used to it.  I had a Motherhood Maternity coupon so I went on a bit of a shopping spree at the outlets in Park City this weekend.  I got some basics that I hope will get me through February.  I've never been a leggings/skinny jeans kind of girl but desperate times call for desperate measures :)  I guess I've been really surprised to find how small of a selection is out there for maternity clothes.  Most stores don't have an in store selection and if they do it's extremely small.  Online is great but things don't fit the same so it gets expensive and annoying to ship things back.  Considering how many babies are born every day and how many women are pregnant at any given time I kind of thought there would be more affordable options.

Anywho...Mayhem's room is coming along nicely.  The curtains arrived and I finally got around to covering a lamp shade with some fabric I'd found and I'm loving how the yellow and grey are looking.  I used spray adhesive and a glue gun which were new adventures for me but the lamp turned out great.  Up next...a staple gun :)

Till next week!
Love,
Andy, Lexi and Mayhem
