the good list.

Yes, this is mine. Number 4 of the 8 it took to convince me I'd been taken over by an alien.

Wow. It's been a long time since I've done one of these. Not to say my life is not filled with things to be thankful for, it's just that when you feel so bad physically, it's hard to focus on those things I otherwise would not overlook.

1) All day sickness making its exit. I'm now nearly 12 weeks pregnant. Even though I get discouraged at how slowly its leaving, thank god it is!
2) Getting to see Neil play on my birthday. It was a short set, but it was the only time either one of us have made one of his shows. We sat outside all day on the lawn with our good friends on a blanket. The weather was perfect.
3) Going back to NC in 3 weeks. I am so excited to see everyone and be there for the holiday season. Especially since Jessie is in the hospital in Kentucky until the twins are born & we plan to spend some time there.
4) Stopping over at our good friends, Ian and Sarah's place in Albuquerque. Breakfast knows no bounds at our {mutual} favorite breakfast joint.
5) Philipp getting into cozy long sleeve baseball t-shirts. Human pillow, anyone?
6) Going to watch the Trick-or-Treaters in a local neighborhood this afternoon. Mini Laffy Taffy, Sweetarts, hell yes. Has Philipp ever been in the States to watch this shit go down? I have no idea.
7) Getting to see The Nugget's heartbeat on ultrasound earlier this week. Always reassuring.
8) October coming to a close so I can shamelessly focus on...the holidays...after Philipp's November 12th birthday, of course.
9) Do you realize how much food I am going to eat this Thanksgiving? I don't think you do.
10) Wanting to do fun stuff with Jake & James while we're there (we will see if this happens).
11) A Christmas Carol in cinemas. Yes.
12) Only about 6 more weeks 'til we find out if this Nugget is packing a nub or not.
