... and I am beginning to get my head around the fact I am expecting our first and unexpected baby. I have been adjusting my way of thinking for so long to the fact that a baby was an unlikely path we were to follow, now nature has made its decision, it has taken a long time for my brain to accept it is really happening and believe it.
Of course the headaches, sickness and body changes that come with pregnancy take some getting used to as well! I hope I am over the worst of this now but won't jinx it by saying too much.
We have also reached my favorite time of the year. I love autumn and the lead up to christmas. I can feel the christmas excitement building already. Yes I know it is only the first full week of October but it is only 76 days left!!!!!!! That means it is a lot less until thanksgiving when I can start watching christmas movies - the first being miracle on 34th street (the modern one)which has a thanksgiving parade in it justifying its first playing before Dec 1st!!!!
This is the time I wish we lived in the states. They celebrate autumn/halloween far more than we do here. I have seen so many yummy recipes that are made with tinned pumpkin - which although a autumn staple stateside, we can not purchase over here (or that I have found anyway!). They also have special halloween Orange Oreo's. Now many of you will know about my oreo obsession (particularly the mint double stuff ones), to read that they are doing halloween special editions I am gutted! Having said that I have seen some special limited edition christmas ones over here but for £3.50 for a small pack - I think that this will be my christmas treat!
There is lots of things to look forward to between now and christmas. We have my Mum's 60th in a few weeks time and my Auntie and Uncle's 40th wedding anniversary the weekend before. My friend is celebrating the end of her employment with Aviva and her birthday with a Halloween party on 31st. I am looking forward to catching up with friends I haven't seen for a while. That means 3 parties in October!!!
I also only have 24 working days left at work. With how it is there at the moment I am very glad! the last month has been quite rough but I hope that I am over the worst and that it can't really get any worse (I think that is wishful thinking really).
Well this has been a very long and wordy post. Apologies for no pics but I have had nothing to show lately. I need to make lots of cards so need to give myself a kick up the bum.
I hope to not leave posting so long next time.

Great to hear from you again. Yes you really are expecting, another dimension to your lives, sorry but life will never be the same again - just better! Know what you mean about the States, boy, do they celebrate the whole Fall thing.
