Yes, I know it is the middle of November and I'm just now making our October post :) Time has FLOWN this year, so I find it easy to get behind on things. October wasn't actually that eventful for us, but we enjoyed the few things we were able to do. I think it took until the end of October for it to finally sink in that we're having a baby, Cory worked hard on his work and school responsibilities, we were able to enjoy an evening of pumpkin carving with friends, and I went to a Halloween party while Cory spent the evening working :(
This is my "8 week belly" picture, though my sweater makes me look a bit bigger than I actually was. Trust me, I look smaller than this in my current 12 week picture. Weeks 7-10 are usually given a bad reputation, and are known for terrible morning sickness. I however, was very fortunate. I had pretty regular nausea every evening, but nothing more than that. No food cravings, other than just being hungrier than usual, and no side effects :)
A week or so before Halloween, Cory and I were able to get together with some friends and carve pumpkins, which is now a tradition for our little group! We had the most delicious supreme pizza, and my homemade butter finger cheesecake before we got the pumpkins out! :) It got a little messy, but our friend's dog, Jake, was nice enough to take care of the pumpkin seeds for us :)

I love how well this picture turned out!

Our super manly and tough looking husbands with their pumpkins :)
The Saturday night before Halloween, a group of friends from church had a fun pot-luck/costume party. Sadly, Cory had to work, so I went alone. Still, it was a fun night with great food and even better company!
As long as I'm on time, my next post should be just around the corner. With Thanksgiving and more baby pictures and ultrasounds, November is looking like it will be a great month!
