Oh BOY!

There hasnt been a female born Salome in something like 70+ years, and who am I to break tradition!  Rell and I went to the doctor this morning and found out that we are having a boy!  And more importantly, everything looks fabulous!  Two arms, two legs, a lovely four chamber heart just beating away!  I am amazed at how cool ultrasounds are and what we can see just by putting some magical little wand against my fat tummy! AMAZING!    The pushed me to 19 weeks tomorrow but they left my due date at April 22nd…..and seriously, that is right around the corner!  Thank goodness I have wonderful family and friends to give me all the advice I need, becaue otherwise, I am pretty sure we would be lost!

 

Wishing everyone a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend….we all have so much to be thankful for!

Which came first?

Not the best photo…that’s what happens when your only working camera is a phone!  Rell and I were a chicken and an egg for Halloween this year.  You might be thinking, what a very random costume choice!  And I agree!  Rell and I have never dressed up together for Halloween, so when we had a costume party to attend this year, I really wanted to dress up, and dress up as something that went together.  We were costume shopping and Rell saw this chicken costume and jsut HAD TO HAVE IT!  Seriously, he really wanted to be a chicken.  How very random!  So, I caved and let him be a chicken….but then I had to think of something that would go with the chicken…we were thinking another farm animal…but honestly, dressing up as a pig or a cow just didnt seem that appealing…(Although I was a cow senior year of high school for Halloween…I actually wore a cow costume to school….how brave of me!)   I thought about dressing up as a farmer, but that didnt seem very fun or creative…and then it hit me…our couples costume would officially be “Who Came First?” and I would dress up as an egg…..only one problem…I had to find an egg costume….easier said than done…so I had to figure out how to MAKE an egg costume…also, easier said than done…so we ended up with what you see above.  We did win the costume contest that night….and lots of people stopped to ask us who came first!  My answer was, of course, me!
