The craziness that was this weekend.

Sorry for not having pictures to post of Halloween. They are on my laptop at home and I'm always on The Nest at work. I did post them to my blogspot though, so check them out. www.edmoexperiment.blogspot.com
I also posted about my fetus mini-scare. I wasn't really worried so I can't really call it a scare, but I guess it could be a situation that ends badly so you never know. The fetus has significantly dropped its energy level and I don't feel him/her barely at all anymore. And he/she isn't passing tests with flying colors. But so far, it's nothing to really worry about.
However, I saw a look on my husband's face I'd never seen before on Monday. I had to go to the midwives' office and I called Chris at work to meet me there so he could relieve me of Boston. When I got to the clinic, they had me go straight to the bathroom to pee. I was coming back into the waiting room from behind the clinic doors and that's when Chris walked into the office. He had this look on his face of just terror as soon as he saw us. He came up to Boston and I and asked if I was okay, if I'd been crying. I just kinda laughed and said no, that I just got done peeing.
He thought I looked like I had gotten some really bad news and his face was reflecting the worst case scenario - he was scared. I saw how sad and confused he was for that split second. And I think he realized that me and Boston and this new baby are his whole world and he wouldn't be able to survive if something happened to either of us. It was a really precious moment for me.
Halloween was super fun - even though it's quite a bit of stress dealing with costumes and passing out candy and a kid who wants to run into the street all at once. Chris said he's going to let me be the "trick-or-treat parent" next year and he'll stay home and pass out candy. He could not handle the pressure of getting Boston dressed, keeping the costume on him, holding his hand, making sure the camera has fresh batteries, keeping the candy bag from tipping over - all those things you gotta think about. Men don't have the brain capacity to do it all, I think.
