Halloween was a little crazy this year. Gretchen and I met Mike at his work party at 6:30. It was nice to see his workspace and coworkers. Gretchen was very interested in Mike's microscope but I was able to distract her with cheese and cookies. Everyone thought she was adorable. Before we headed from the hospital Mike headed to the men's room to put his makeup on. I have to say he spent a lot of time in front of that mirror. This is how it turned out:

Mike had to go remove his makeup before Gretchen would go anywhere with him. I ended dropping Mike and Gretchen off on Belvedere St. She was so excited to go trick or treating with Daddy (formerly known as Prince Zuko;). This street is blocked off and all the residents go way out with decorations. I finally found a parking spot by the time Mike and Gretchen had finished, but at least I was able to snap some pics.

Finally at 8:30 we headed to Mark and Lisa's for a little party. It was probably a little to late for Gretchen, but she was really looking forward to it. We played some fun games and enjoyed time with a lot of friends.

Finally, I'm posting. Today marks my one month left of pregnancy celebration! I am feeling so much bigger with this baby. Yesterday at dinner (Mike was still at work) Gretchen wanted to sit on my lap. So I let her but she kept sliding off. After a couple times she asked "what's happening?" I told her Mommy doesn't have a lap anymore, my belly is too big. She just pondered that for a little while and looked disappointed. Then she looked up at me with a smile and said, "Daddy still has a lap." Thank heaven for Daddy!
So I have a lot of things I think I need to post date and post. Check back to my blog to see what's been going on in San Francisco. We love you all!
