Chris bought me a little LEGO set so I spent part of the evening assembling as much as I could without the manual. 

The weather is great so I strolled over to the fish ladder on lunch with some co-workers.

Chris's brother and dad were in town today and we walked around ArtPrize in downtown Grand Rapids. I had a good time with everyone and a lots of tasty food.

I'm still coughing a lot, but I'm feeling much better. So we took a walk on a path in the neighborhood and enjoyed the nice weather.

This month's LootCrate is just awesome for Chris. I've already been giving him random pieces from past crates that I'm not interested in (like vinyl figures), but virtually everything this month is something he'd want. From the tribble to the alien action figure, he's pretty happy with this month's haul.

Adam and Comfort were in town briefly to look at houses and they swung by and dropped of some delicious, throat-soothing honey. Hooray!

I'm feeling better today, but not well enough to sit at my desk and not hack all over everyone, so I worked from home. The cat, excited with my laptop bag, sat on it for awhile and watched me work. He's an adorable companion to have when working from home.

Well, last night was kind of a nightmare of not sleeping well. It doesn't look like there are many things that are ok to take during pregnancy when you're sick, and honestly the one thing I usually do take (a certain cough medicine), seems iffy. So after a night of not sleeping, I stayed home from work today, napped on the couch, watched a bunch of netflix, and finished of a box of tissues. That's productive, right?

The cat was ok with me being home for the most part, as long as I tried not to move too much and interrupt his napping.

Today was a much lazier day than yesterday. I feel worse, so I spent a chunk of the day laying on the couch playing video games and trying not to sneeze and cough all over everyone.

We left the paper out for another day, since Leki is so into it. He really does love anything that is new. Even crinkly paper.

Chris surprised me with an early birthday celebration. Since we have the whole weekend and I appear to be coming down with a cold, today was a perfect day to receive gifts. A nice nerdy t-shirt I can wear for a little while (all of my existing Woot shirts no longer cover my budding pregnancy), plus Watch Dogs to binge on. 
Plus the cat has a new bed of wrapping paper. He loved it so much we just left the paper out for him to nap on. 

Delicious birthday cupcakes were at work when I arrived to celebrate both my birthday and a co-workers for this upcoming weekend.
And at lunch I wandered around downtown checking out the ArtPrize installations going up.

It's not quite fall but the weather has been absolutely cool and wonderful.
