This is the first discomfort I've had to deal with in quite some time (due to pregnancy, not malt-o-meal). I have this really uncomfortable burning sensation on the top of my abdomen. I'm sure it's just due to my skin stretching, but it's no fun. It started about 1 week ago and I've grown quite a bit this past week.
She moves so much more defined now. Last night, I think I felt a hand/foot. Instead of just a general quick movement, or a all around push, there felt like a little nub in the middle of my tummy. I'm sure it was an appendage. :) How cute.
I've only got 52 sleeps left until my due date. Crazy. I can't believe how fast time is going.

On the Burn
A week and a half ago, when I went in for a follow-up visit, the doctor recommended me to a surgeon to talk about a skin graft. I don't need one and don't want one, so I canceled my appointment.
My burn is healing very well. The peeling phase is over and now it's just kind of "immature" skin. It's usually white-pink. But when I get cold it turns red-purple. But even that is getting less common. Only 2.5 weeks after I burnt it and it looks so good! It doesn't hurt. But it will probably scar. Which is fine. I can deal with that.

Zebra Spots
That is what I keep thinking. Then I actually think about it and realize I mean giraffe spots. Zebra's have stripes, silly.
But that is what my burn reminds me of now. It is peeling a lot and due to the cracking and dark top skin, it looks like giraffe spots.
No infection or real pain still. :) Which is good.
Also, we started to put up Christmas decorations. :D Yay holidays!

Keeping Busy
My burn is doing better. The skin is peeling and the new stuff underneath is quite red.
There is more peeling today, but I don't have my camera with. That pic is from yesterday morning.
I also have been busy like crazy with Etsy! I have about 5 custom orders to do. I finished two last night and should be able to do two more tonight. It's pretty fun. I just with I had more in stock in my store! I'm down to pretty much nothing (save for cross-stitch patterns, people should buy those more :))
~Side note~ it looks dumb to put a smiley in parentheses, like above. I run into this a lot.
We also took our Christmas decorations out of the attic last night. We put a few up around the house, but mostly just opened a lot of boxes. :) About 40% of the houses in our neighborhood have Christmas lights up already. We are not one of them, but hopefully can help soon. On our cul-de-sac of 5 houses, everyone but us has lights up!

Pre-Thanksgiving Photo Tour
Before I post about Thanksgiving, I've finally got some pictures of stuff since Halloween. So here is a picture tour of my past month.
Our house all Halloween-ified.
Playing safely with sticks on the swings at Jayme and Charles'.
Baby bellies at about 15 weeks.
Playing with Maria and her dog Hendrix at Hunter Park.
Most of Thanksgiving dinner before we cooked it.
My blister about 1 stage before I accidentally popped it. It was even bigger than this when that happened.
But then while washing dishes, I shook my arm and the blister popped. Now it looks more like this. (for some reason it keeps rotating the picture, but you still get the idea, much better.)

Weekend Adventures
*I had this posted last week, but with fooding with family, I decided to take it down until afterwards. Now that that is done, here is the post! again*
I enjoy having fun-filled weekends. Since the work week is always the same thing, day after day, it's nice to spice things up over the weekend.
After spending time at Riverdance and dealing with our car last weekend (by the way Jenette, Chris, Newgen, and Andrea, I belive we were in the wrong seats b/c someone else was in ours), this weekend we stayed home and spend time with Maria.
This was the third time she's been to our place. She helped us move in, and spent the night when we went to New Jersey last November for Teresa's wedding. So it has been a little over a year.
She came in Friday and we showed her around work. Then we used her Durango to pick up our tv stand. We brought it back and set up our new tv on the new stand!! It's wonderful! The tv is nice and now the cable works* and our room is so useful! The couch is marvelous the tv is great. It's nice!
We watched movies, hung out with Hendrix, played games, went to the park, ate out, cooked at home, and just kinda chilled. She left Monday morning because she had work. No fun.
Well, even more no fun. I was making Shannon and I some Maple Malt-o-Meal for breakfast after she left. It had been cooking in the microwave for 3ish minutes. I went to take out to stir, and spilt it. All over my left wrist. It. Hurt. A. Lot.
I cried (and I don't cry often over pain). It sucked. I soaked it cool water for a good while. Shannon went to the store to buy me some gel to put on it. When he came back, I put it on and put some lose gauze over it. Then I layed down on our new couch with Shannon and watched some tv. Trying not to think about the burning pain on my wrist.
Eventually the pain stopped and we made some gingerbread for houses on Friday. Then we make a huge list for Thanksgiving and went shopping. We got almost everything we need, it ws 300$. :) That was a lot. But really, Figure it'll be around 375$ with everything (turkey and bread and all) for about 3 meals worth of food. We got stuff for lunch on Thursday and for Thanksgiving dinner, and for dessert, and for breakfast on Friday and for making gingerbread. (6$ in molasses!).
I am SO looking forward to seeing family and eating food and having off of work and making gingerbread houses! I love the holidays!
*The cable would have worked when we first tried on Friday evening if the cable guy who came out when we moved in turned on ALL the cable and not just one of out connectors... Oh, Oklahoma.
Today I went to the doctor for my burn. He gave me some ointment to put on it. I'll go back in 1 week to make sure it's all good.
Okay, the picture below is kinda gross. So if you don't want to see my ugly blister (that is now HUGE) don't scroll down. If you want to be grossed out, then go ahead. It's quite huge. (like 1" by 1.75"...

Paper Willie
Since I was gone for the weekend I missed a football game, the homecoming game actually. This sad Willie above was a rather amusing sight to walk by on my way to school Monday morning. That afternoon, when I walked home, some of the fraternity guys were burning it. That made a lot of smoke.
