1. WE ARE FINALLY GETTING OUR PUPPY - for anyone from the TTGP board you'll remember we have been on a wait list for a puppy for about six months now. 

2. After putting our Dane down this past April, I am so ready to have a fuzzy puppy to love on again.
3. Our 21 month old son is going to be so EXCITED to have a puppy. He loves our cat so much that hes going to adore a dog.
4. I finally have my first checkup this week and will get to hear about the little raspberry is doing.
5. I have my performance review this week and I plan to ask for a raise. Fingers crossed.
6. Our son had the greatest time of his life trick or treating for the first time and was an adorable dragon. He wouldn't let anyone else carry his candy bucket.
7. I am starting to feel a bit better on the nausea front - hoping this is an improvement that will stick around.
8. It is November which means Christmas shopping!
9. My in-laws are staying with us at Thanksgiving and we are going to use the opportunity to tell them we are expecting #2
10. Did I mention we are getting our puppy?

thankfully

1. Nov 1 - Peppermint mocha is back a Dunkin. I had a decaf this morning and can't tell the difference.

2. Re: the above, I didn't intend to cut back to zero caffeine, as a person that had a 5-6 cup/day habit, but I've completely reset my tolerance. I'm now getting majorly wired (even a little bit of palpitations) if I have a full cup. This is a big achievement for an addict like me! 

3. ToT - all of my kids (6, 4, almost 2) had a blast and were friendly and polite going door to door. No whining or anything.

4. My birthday is this week

5. Dr. Strange comes out on Friday (I mainly care because of Benedict Cumberbatch)

6. It's restaurant week in this city and so many great restaurants have tasting menus, hoping to do dinner and a movie for aforementioned birthday.

7. One of my direct reports may be applying for a position in another department. I can't stand him so it's amazing news.

8. Every day with pregnancy symptoms, no bleeding, and getting a step closer to 2nd tri is a good day. 

9. I had an amazing tahini chocolate chip cookie with lunch today. 

10. Saving the best for last-- My BFF is pregnant and due in June too!!

2. My best friend from college is traveling through our area and will be stopping over night on Friday at my house. Haven't seen her in three years. 
3. I'm taking a personal day this Friday! 
4. My son had the flu yesterday and my husband stayed home with him while I worked. Thankful for a self employed husband who is a wonderful dad. 
5. It's almost 80 degrees. In November. In Indiana. 
6. My husband has agreed that we can get me a different vehicle before this baby is born. 
7. I ate popcorn shrimp for dinner last night and it was wonderful. 
8. I took a 45 minute walk with our dog and my son today. 
9. My sons first birthday party is on Sunday. Even though I'm really stressed about getting everything set up and it going smoothly, I'm excited to see how he reacts to his own cake. 
10. I'm still pregnant and getting closer and closer to my first doctor appointment in December.
