It's been another fun couple of weeks. Nothing super significant, mostly the everyday happy.
* Pregnancy: I'm starting to feel big and round. This weekend I kept bumping into things because I expect to fit into places that I no longer do. For Halloween I wore the same costume as last year. I was a pirate. Ah, the benefits of owner lots of clothes that were really loose to begin with. The only thing that didn't fit me, was a choker. My neck is getting fat! Oh well. I had an appointment with my midwife and everything seems to be going well. My blood tests came back normal, and everything is on target. The baby is a mover and shaker. I guess he or she still has enough room to do somersaults which is pretty fun.
* Anthony: Still in the waiting period of hearing back from potential employers. He has possibilities with Deloitte, IBM, GE, and E&Y. Keep us in your prayers. School keeps him busy, but he still makes lots of time to play with me.
* Play: We've enjoyed taking walks this beeaauuutiful autumn. Last weekend we soaked in all the colors on a great trail not far from our house. It feels like we live in such a community. We skipped an apple festival to go to a Library book and bake sale.
We took our friend, Gabe out for his birthday dinner at the best Indian restaurant I've ever been too. Mmmm. We'll take you there if you come visit us in Pittsburgh.
This Friday we left for D.C. right after I was done with work. We stayed with Mom and Dad who cut my hair, took us on a fun walking tour of Georgetown, and fed us good food. The highlight was going on a boat ride in a canal built in 1828. They changed the water level for us and pulled the boat/barge with mules. It was really cool. Then we were off to the temple, which was great as usual. We found out today in Stake conference that our temple district just got switched to the Columbus OH. But Mom and Dad make D.C. too appealing.
* Work: Work is going really well. This week is Dr. Seuss week. My kids make me laugh everyday. My energy level is kind of on the decline though. I found this last week that I start getting really tired at about 4:30, and hour before I'm done. So I think I'll have to start eating trail mix at 4:15 or something as a preventive measure.
Hope everything is going well with everyone!

p.s. Has anyone ever taken fish oil pills? Ick. I force myself to take one every once in a while for those baby brain building omega-3s, but they make me taste fishiness for hours and hours afterwards. Have any tips?

Hey, if you ever want to go to the Columbus temple, let us know. It's not our temple exactly, but it's the exact same distance away from us as our temple is (90 minutes). We could meet up.
I have the same problem with my fish oil pills. I take omega 3,6,9. The only think that made any difference was to take them before I ate and put all of my food on top if them in my stomach. But I still have the same probblem. Just not quite as intense.
You can also get omega 3s from flaxseed oil.
eat fish!
I was also going to suggest Flaxseed oil.
Thanks for the update! We would love to see some cute bump pictures! As much as you might not like them, we do :)
