22 WEEKS!

Today we are 5 and a half months pregnant! Carly is moving all the time. She should weigh about a pound now. Her movements are like big WAVES. It almost scared me because my belly was moving all over the place. Its SO exciting to know she's growing properly.
My cold is almost gone and I am actually starting to have energy again. I can't believe how long its been since I've done any kind of exercise.
Today, we went and saw Milk starring Sean Penn. Gay people from all over could go to five movie theaters all over our city to watch MILK at the same time and represent. It was awesome...Sean Penn had an amazing performance and I was SO inspired. I want to be more proactive and involved in our community. Harvey Milk had such amazing determination and courage. What a movie! Tina and I LOVED it. We want to buy it. Before the movie we enjoyed a delicious lunch together and then during the movie we allowed ourselves a sugar treat and I had peanut m$ms. SO FUN! I love candy at the movies. :) Then we went to the game store and I bought Tina the new verion of Call of Duty. She's in heaven right now playing it. She's adorable.

Tina and I are in charge of bringing dessert Christmas eve. So we decided to make an organic chocolate cake. We're going to use butter and powdered sugar for the frosting..thanks to the suggestion of the nice lady at the grocery store. Sounds good!
It will be fun to put a more personal touch on it. I haven't baked a cake in YEARS.

I still have more presents to get. My sisters didn't stick with the the we're only buying for the kids rule, so I'm going out to get a little something for them... I feel so out of touch of what they'll want so its hard. I want to get something their husbands will like too. I also still have to buy for my mom and step dad. They are impossible..because they HAVE EVERYTHING. It will be easy when Carly's here..i'll just give everyone photo albums of her development..:)

Our friend's dogs have been here since Friday. They are used to it here now, so its not so bad. They used to just stare at us and not eat. It used to make me feel bad. Now, they seem to be very content and used to the routine.

I'm beat. I'm going to hit the hay. I'm looking forward to my walk tomorrow with the dogs! :) OH! I almost forgot! I'm getting my teeth cleaned tomorrow at 9am. I need to schedule a dermatology appointment too, but I keep forgetting.

Night!
