Just showing off a little

As most of you know, I work at the Majestic Theater, owned and operated by Gettysburg College. Well, the theater was featured in today’s New York Times travel section in an article about historic theaters in central Pennsylvania. My boss is actually pictured on-line and in print in the New York Times! We screamed when we saw the picture - I think I woke up the baby; he/she moved around like crazy after we all screamed. If you're interested in reading the whole article, here's the link.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Downtown Gettysburg...
Presents under the tree...

A REAL Christmas tree (for the first time in 3 years!)...

A growing belly...

We hope Christmas is "showing up" in your home too!

Baby on board (happy birthday Dad Polk)

This changes everything...




We had our 21 week checkup today. Everyone is healthy. Reality is beginning to set in.

PS: It seems that our life is already becoming consumed by baby. We used to get annoyed when friends would only talk about the baby. Now we understand that fighting this reality is like fighting gravity. Please be patient, we will do our best to keep things interesting.

Not a snow dog

Last week we got a few inches of snow. Our first real snow of the season! I thought that Moses would for sure love to play in the snow, you know, like dogs do - romp all around and eat the snow and run all around our backyard then come inside nice and tired. So, I decided that over my lunch break I'd let him out and this was the result...









He would get scared when he sniffed it and it moved. I did get him to pee eventually, but it took some coaxing. Looks like we don't have a snow dog after all. He'd rather be standing next to the "hot box!"

Growing Legs

People warned me early on that I'd get what's called "pregnancy brain." I confess - I only half believed them. Well, let me tell you - IT'S TRUE AND IT'S CONTAGOUS!!!
Lately Paul and I have noticed that there is more in our house that's growing legs besides the baby inside me. We've noticed that the oddest things have gone MIA - his wedding band and my mouthguard (that I have to wear every night when I sleep or I grind my teeth and get horrible headaches). We searched Sunday night, almost all night for his wedding band and couldn't find it anywhere. We searched last night until 11:45 for my mouthguard - again, no luck.
Do things like that really grow legs or are we just going crazy? I've never been one to loose things. I've misplaced my keys maybe twice in the past 5 years. One of my life's mottos is "everything has its place." Looks like life is going to be changing pretty drastically soon.
