When he got home from class last night he declared he thinks he has a cold. I have become quite the germa-phobe (as well as hate seeing Sean sick :)... I guess) so I was like DRINK WATER. STAY AWAY. etc. He drank a huge mug with double teabags of echinacea tea, took a swig of Nyquil and we went to bed early. This morning he feels pretty good so maybe it was a fluke.
Last night Sarah and Dave got here after we went to bed. We woke to smiling faces and a fridge full of local, organic produce. Dave is a COO for a local food distribution company for Chicago grocery stores and restaurants called Local Foods www.localfoods.com. Sometimes just being with them makes me feel healthier! Dave and Sean went off to work and Sarah logged on to her computer to work from home. Sarah is an education researcher at the University of Chicago, and lucky for me, she can work from home sometimes.

Tracy Watson came for a little visit too. It is always a whirlwind with that crazy, wonderful woman. She is a ball of positive energy that I am lucky to get wrapped up in every couple of months! A handsome Doctor joined her household this summer and I loved hearing about their adventures.

Another exciting thing that happened today...the carseat came! My aunt and uncle gave it to us. It's funny how excited I have become over all these baby things; carseats and rocking chairs and cloth diapers, oh my! Getting baby gifts makes this feel more real. It reminds me that there really is a baby growing inside me and he is going to survive.
Speaking of Baby Moore...last night I was lying on the couch (surprise, surprise) and all of a sudden this appendage sticks up out of my abdomen. I think it was a hand, but whatever it was, it was the end of something. I pushed down and could almost grab around it. It was the craziest feeling to think I was almost holding my little boys hand.
Nausea, heartburn, bed rest and fatness aside, being pregnant is as fun and magical as I thought it would be. A little person is growing and developing beneath the drape of my skin and someday he will suddenly be part of our lives... forever. I like to think about how in a short time I will be cheering him on as he takes his first steps and tells his first jokes ;), in a few years I will be sad to send him off to preschool, in 15 years we will start teaching him how to drive, and someday his wife will be pregnant with his own child. My corny-story meter is alarming right now, but basically the circle of life certainly blows my mind.
