Mackaveli Update!
It's been a while since I've been able to write. Our lives have been so busy we've barely had time to even be home this month! And it's just getting crazier. Regardless, I know it's time for a baby update!
(SEE, there IS a belly there!)
We are 16 weeks along right now, and my pregnancy has been wonderful thus far. God has blessed me with no sickness, no abnormalties, and only a teensy bit of craziness. I was exhausted for the last six weeks of the first trimester, but now I am back to a normal level of energy and alertness. No more naps in the parking lot of Kohl's on my lunch hour (Yay!).
We had our first OB appt three weeks ago, heard the heartbeat again and praised the Lord for 160 beats per minute. Everything is great, and we go back on Wednesday the 3rd for our next check up. If all goes as we hope, we will have our discovery ultrasound the week before Christmas so we can start planning in pink or blue!!
We've been tracking my belly, or lack thereof, since we found out we were pregnant. Everyone at work has been teasing me because I don't really look pregnant, yet, when I have a shirt on. I'm okay with that and would love for just a giant belly to appear one day without all the in between sizes and looks-like-I-have-skipped-the-gym-for-months appearance. But as long as Mackaveli is happy and healthy in there, I don't care what I look like!
(SEE, there IS a belly there!)We will keep you posted on the exciting news when we find out!

Halloween!
Better late than never, right? I somehow managed to not take any good pictures the whole night. Must have been all that water I was drinking, right? Well, thankfully Sonya had a few, so here's the recap of our fun Halloween/Mike's birthday party!
There were plenty of other super cute couple costumes, but like I said - no pictures! Oh well...

All About Biz
I've been tagged by Heather to tell you about things nobody knows about me. It was kind of fun to think about. So here goes:
- When I was 12 years old, my best friend and I created, developed and ran a day camp for kids. It was called Kids Kamp. We had craft time, song time, activity time, even snack time. We hired our friends, volunteered our sisters, and even had a lawyer draft up a waiver form for the parents to sign. We ran it out of my parents back yard and made serious money. That's when I knew I was an entrepreneur!
- I have the recipe for Nestle Toll House cookies memorized, and have had it memorized since I was 11. My next door neighbor and I used to make them almost daily. We would add small amounts of cinnamon and think that we had a crazy new recipe. Now, I just love to make cookies. I can whip up a full batch from pouring flour to washing the cookie trays in 40 minutes, tops.
- I want to pierce my nose. I have wanted to for a while, but now that I'm pregnant I'm scared to. Just a tiny little stud. My friend Jennifer just got a tattoo for her 30th, and I figure that a piercing is similarly adventurous, but less permanent when I turn 40 and decide my kids shouldn't get piercings yet.
- I would rather wear my husbands sweats any day of the week. (I am wearing them as I write this!) They're giant on me, super comfy, and they remind me of when we were dating. I would go straight to his apartment after work, change into his sweats, make dinner together and watch movies all evening. Ah, the good ol' days with zero responsibilities.
- At the risk of being rather risqué, I cannot wear clothing to bed. Socks, sweats, tank tops, no matter what it is or how freezing I am when I get in bed, they all are on the floor by the middle of the night. I love to be warm, but I hate to be hot while I'm sleeping. Oh, and I love to sleep. I love my bed. And I love sleeping next to my husband.
- I was bald until I was 2 years old. Now my hair is thick, but it was non-existent even after I started walking. That, combined with Mike going bald at 18, gives any boy we have a solid 16 years with good, thick hair. Then the poor things are screwed. Although I think Mike's baldness is hot, so it's really in the way you look at it.
- I desperately want to own my own business (see the first one). I haven't figured out a lucrative way to do that, but I love every aspect of running a business. Plus I am terrible at working for other people. I'm very efficient, and 48 hour work weeks drive me nuts. I love to be creative, and I know there's a perfect opportunity for me to do something, I just need to find it.
I now tag Molly, Aimee and Betsy! Tell us what you've got, girls. :)

Mikey's Birthday
Happy Birthday to Mike! Last weekend was his big 2-7, which we celebrated in style.... dressed up in Halloween costumes!
The night before, we had a leisurely, romantic dinner at The Melting Pot. It was wonderful to slow down for an evening, catch up and be with my best friend. We have been so crazy busy lately, and we loved having a night to ourselves. Just to think that in 6 months we'll have to hire a babysitter to have a night out!
I adore that man!
