November

We had a fun, albeit uneventful Halloween eve. I was curious about how many kids we'd have, so I counted and tracked costumes through the night via Facebook status update - we had around 40. Carlos came by to visit for a while (though his allergies got the better of him) and there were some AB folks in the basement making X-wing helmets on Brian's table for a big group order while he puttered around doing various things.

11/1. Crazy! I want to take care of the rest of the main baby stuff this month so that we can kind of 'enjoy' December. In addition to holiday plans we'll have a couple of classes to take, so I'm trying to avoid piling on the responsibilities in that month.

I loved the Halloween themed Dancing With The Stars last night - great songs and costumes! I have dance class tonight and Glee is back, oh how I missed you!

My http://www.pregnancy-info.net/rhinitis.html has been fairly constant lately, so I'm hoping that our steam heat kicking on will help it a bit. I haven't been so good about using the neti pot, it's just another thing I have to do in the AM or PM before bed, and I'm not looking to add tasks to my day. Still, it helps a good deal - I have to get into the habit again. However my sinus' are shaped in my head, the right side is usually blocked and running down into my ear and down my throat. I still hold that this, some mild heartburn (that hasn't made me want to change my diet at all or take any drugs) and some swollen (but not painful) feet make me a very lucky pregnant woman. 11 more weeks (or so) left of this process!

I keep forgetting to mention this: I have a small, single room, cool mist humidifier that I don't have a use for anymore. I honestly don't know how hard it would be to find filters for it, but I thought I'd see if you want it. If you do, it's yours. It's a Honeywell, but they sold off their humidifier line a few years ago.

Thanks! I think for the 10 weeks I have left to suffer this, finding the filters may not be worth the work. Having our steam heat on now a somewhat regular basis should also help immensely.
