Halloween

Hadley in her ladybug costume. Yeah, she's psyched.

Daddy brought her to the hospital so we could trick or treat after I got off work.

The day before halloween, she rocked her kitty cat costume for the harvest festivities in Kamiah.

She liked watching all of the other kids.

Just Another Day at Work

So, you think you work in hazardous conditions? You don't. Let me tell you a story.

This last week, I worked in the ER. Well, I'm psyched because I get to do all kinds of exciting things in the ER...like save lives! Well, one of our "emergent" patients came in with a very dangerous condition....a butt boil. We're not talking just any butt boil, but a spread-the-cheeks-dig-deep-to-lance-that-sucker butt boil. So, the Dr. is doing his thing with the scalpel, and I stand dutifully at his side to hand him instruments. He lances the boil and decided that there's still more goo in there, so he applies firm pressure. The butt boil freaking SQUIRTS out three feet, straight towards my round ass! If I hadn't had the quick reflexes of a jungle cat (albeit a pregnant jungle cat), I would have been covered in butt boil juice!

Needless to say, butt boil guy felt much better. That's right, people. Just a lone ER nurse, saving lives.....one butt boil at a time.

Really?

So, a woman at work (who will remain nameless for her own safety ;) compared my 20 week belly to that of a full termer. She said, "I thought you'd enjoy getting fatter and having you face get fuller already." EFF. OFF. I'm fully aware my ass is expanding...don't need the reminder.

Yeah, so...I'm PSYCHED for the coming months and the "fatness" (I'm going with voluptuousness) that will only get worse!

On a happier note...starting to really feel the baby move and kick in there. However, she does it every morning at 4 am. I'm told she should be awake at about the same times when she comes out. So, in case you missed it, let me reiterate: Four. AM. Everyday. Awesome.

The other day, Drew bought these booties from, where else...Cabela's :) They're precious, and I think it's so cute that he did it. I think he's really embracing the "girl" stuff ;)
