(and another exciting baby update!)
I think I have ONE "tummy" picture this entire pregnancy, compared to the zillion I have from the last. So in the middle of our Halloween festivities lastnight I passed the camera to Kevin and he took a quick snapshot.
And speaking of this little guy, I was excited to hear at today's appointment that I'm now 2 cm dilated! Glad to hear that all those sleepless (crampy) nights weren't for nothing! Of course, now that I'm term and ready, the last 3 days the contractions have all kinda subsided-- my doctor says it's the "calm before the storm." We'll see if that's what baby says too~*
P.S. Quick little Jake update- he's doing soo good! Walking *everywhere*, learning new words every day. I've lost track of how many teeth he has... he has a bunch and is (of course) working on another. (next to his bottom right molar). He is *always* teething these days! 4 days ago I told him "I love you" and he said "I baa duu". I normally wouldn't interpret "baa" as "love" and "duu" as "you", but he said it in the exact same intonation that I did, and in response to my "i love you", so needless to say, it just melted my heart because I know he was trying to say it back to me!!! He's such a sweetheart!
Trick or Treat
Momma & baby spidee- Lastnight was his first time Trick-or-treating. We had lots of fun, only hit a few houses and then spent the rest of the evening BBQing, bonfiring and passing out candy at my sister's house. It was so much fun!

More Showers for Baby
My friends at work threw me such a great shower today! It was put together in just 4 days because I was afraid baby wouldn't stay in much longer- Thank you my sweet Natalie and friends! It was beautiful and the food was sooo delicious. (It wouldn't be a true pregnant-Megan post if I didn't mention food, right?) Here's a quick picture of some of the gals-- (yes, I'm wearing the *same* dress as my other shower!)

Another AMAZING Recipe!
"Roasted Shrimp and Orzo"
This is a recipe that a friend of mine made for the shower today, it was AMAZING! So fresh and flavorful. I could eat the entire bowl! It's a Barefoot Contessa recipe, & can be found HERE on the Food Network website. Delicious! (And apparently, very quick & easy!)
Well, the holidays are officially upon us!! It's finally November (can you believe it!?), and the weather is sooo beautiful here- nice and FALLish! We're LOVING it! I always try to stay true to my California Girl, summer-loving self... but the last few years I can't deny it... I really think that this is my new favorite time of year! A summer girl at heart, but fall and (if you can call it winter) is pushing it's way in. COZY fireplaces, warm drinks, scarves & mittens, Christmas carols, rain, and all the scents that go along with the seasons & holidays (pumpkin spice, cinnamon & peppermint, christmas trees), on top of all the festivities and fun with FAMILY... love it!
