Blizzcon, the baby and Christmas swapping!
I was waiting until I went to the doctor on November 3rd to update, but as everyone
knows now, I'm pregnant! We aren't quite sure how far along I am, we are thinking
about 16 weeks now. I'm feeling pretty good, most of the nausea has passed (woot at
not ever throwing up), even though I still sometimes feel it a bit at night. The oddest
symptom I've been having now is heartburn at night, and I've NEVER had it before.
I quit my job about 3 weeks after I found out, being around all those chemicals at work
worried me. I couldn't touch half the facial products (you need to stay away from vitamin A derivatives and some doctors say to also stay away from salicylic acids), and they would always have me rinse out hair color because I had no clients heh. Everyone was super nice there, but their skin department was sloooooow. They had 1 other esthetician who worked Thursday-Saturday, and even she only had a few clients per day. The hair department was fully booked weeks in advanced, so they were a busy salon at least.
I've been working on designing some crochet patterns, and I have 3 now that are totally
finished. I might make another version of each one, just for variety in pictures.
Unfortunately, our camera died on the 2nd day of Blizzcon :(. It was like 3-4 years old,
and well loved so it served it's purpose. I'm looking to get one that can take better
close-up pictures anyway. I put the Blizzcon pictures on Flickr if anyone is interested,
they honestly aren't that exciting.
Blizzcon (Oct 10-13) was a lot of fun though, they had a bunch of developer panels
(Q&A, class design etc), about 3k computers to test out the new games, shopping, food, tournaments (pvp and trading card game), costume contests, wow joke contest, wow dancing contest, Patton Oswald did an hours worth of standup, photo boths....just a bunch of stuff that was a lot of fun.
Saturday night we went to dinner at Gorden Beirsh with Dario, Sida and Richard. It was nice and relaxing, we didin't go to a bar because I coulden't drink, and Sida was tired from working all day. I still would of gone to a bar anyway, but dinner was nicer because we could actually talk to each other.
Sunday we went down to Craig's aunt and uncles house in Palos Verdes, and we went sight
seeing, had dinner with his grandparents, and took a late night drive for yogurt and more
sight seeing. Monday morning we came home and were exhausted, but it was worth it.
We don't have any plans for Halloween yet, but we were invited to Halloween party at Craig's friends house on Friday. It could be fun, we might go. Aunt Sherry wants me to go to her house on Halloween which would also be fun, but it's at least a 2 hour drive now :(
I signed up for a Christmas ornament swap on craftster, and I have some ideas already...
but I need to go to Michaels later!
