33 Weeks and Counting~

33 Weeks , originally uploaded by hobocampcrafts.

This morning I woke around 4am. I guess this is what everyone is talking about when they say "you won't be able to sleep much". The baby is kicking in a more uncomfortable manner and I have some serious achenes. In addition to a weird, itchy rash on my forehead! I put calamine lotion on it- so now I have a smear of pink, like a crazy birthmark.

I finished getting my shower thank-you cards in the mail- well I'll finish today. Then on the 24th we're going to Rhode Island to see my husband's family, who have graciously agreed to host a shower for us with his family and friends in the area. I'm very excited- there will be a fall theme!!
Since my husband started bringing me up to visit( a few months into dating) it has always been a little retreat-treat We go to the beach, have picnics, eat at lovely little places and sometimes go to The Blue Mitten ( a great little thrift). I love New England. As close as it is to NY- it still feels so different. The cooler air and proximity of a Tim Horton's on ever corner- just says " I love you" with a big hug New England style.
Yesterday I made a surprise trip to my parent's house. My mom and I talked politics- which is always a very calm discussion- b/c we pretty much agree on most things. She was making a meatloaf, which of course smelled good. I stole a few baked-french fries from the stove and I seemed to be OK. We went through some Rubbermaid bins in the shed full of MORE wintry clothing! Just as I thought we had finished and found it all. I am really amazed to the point of embarrassment on just how many scarves-gloves-hats we own. Zach said, "we're cute we need the accessories to go along with that"- what a supportive husband! We both spent about 1/2 hour last night organizing our new found-wintry wealth into our closets. I love seasonal unpacking- it feels like I've just gone shopping and snagged some awesome pieces- only I've freed up a Rubbermaid and haven't spent a cent!

With that I am going to get back to the hat I am knitting myself. I'll leave you with a small list of Gratitude I've been thinking on:
my husband
fall weather
a roof over my head
a nice neighborhood
the ability to work from home
changing leaf color
pumpkin butter
toasty sweaters
