Baby Higgins Zodiac Sign

If Baby Higgins comes after October 22nd, she will be a Scorpio like her mother. Ugh oh! Here are more details on what it means to be a Scorpio.


Sign: Scorpio, The Scorpion

Oct 24 - Nov 21

Powerful personalities, these babies are inclined towards mysteries and puzzles from young. They prefer scientific toys and games which allows them to exercise their analytical minds and direct their creative potential. Scorpio children are known for their intense natures and even as kids they have the talent to see beyond illusion. Scorpion children are very magnetic and also secretive. They possess great energy and force and it is important to channelize that energy constructively. They flare up easily and care must be taken to bring that temper under control. These children must be encouraged to mix with other children, particularly those with personalities that match theirs. Your Scorpio child is very bright - he needs plenty of books around him. While they may not exhibit emotions openly they are very loyal to family and friends.

27 Weeks... entering 3rd Trimester!

Baby's lungs are going through some major developments these days, which (combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils) means he's now able to practice inhaling and exhaling. The lack of air in your womb means every "breath" is filled with amniotic fluid, but hey -- it's progress.

Got a sudden pain in your rear? That's just baby, settling into place for his upcoming debut. His head might be pressing on your sciatic nerve, which can cause pain and numbness down the backs of your legs. Don't worry -- it'll ease up soon after labor. For now, your aching back deserves a pat. You've reached trimester three!

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

A couple of things:

1)I have a few lines of stretch marks appearing on my belly :( This was fine when it was lower because I have had them for years! Looks like I will be getting some cocoa butter soon.

2) Still feel great. Lot's of energy.

3) Still get up to pee at least three times a night.

4) Enjoying every minute of being pregnant! Grow baby grow!

Mike at the Ray's Game for his birthday!

Mike had been saying he wanted to go to the Ray's game for months. We watch them almost every night. It does help keep our eye on something in hopes that football season gets here faster.

When I went to get tickets, they were virtually sold out because the Rays were playing the Yankess on his birthday. We invited Kevin and James to go with us, and there were no decent seats available without paying way too much. Mike decided just to invite the three boys over on Saturday night for a low key night to watch the Ray's drink beer and hang out. I wanted to invite like 50 more people and he said NO. Just wanted to hang with a few of his best friends.

The next morning, he got on Craig's list and found two seats, seven rows from the field, with a parking pass for $80. We called, the guy sounded completely normal. I arranged to pick them up and we went to the game. I really think he had a great time.

Happy 5 year Chipotle Anniversary!

I remember it like it was yesterday, I filled out my paperwork in the morning and was in the kitchen doing training by the afternoon. I went through 8 weeks of in store training: learning the recipes, culture. I can't believe five years ago has flown by so fast. I do get to work with some of the best people and really think we are changing the way the world eats and thinks about fast food.

Here is a photo of me doing a guacamole cooking demo with kids at Selby Library in Sarasota.

GARZA NO HITTER! GO RAYS!

WHAT A GAME!!
Mike and I cheered on the Rays and Matt Garza and watched the first NO HITTER in Ray's history.

Babymoon is Booked!

We are flying to Vegas early for our National Conference. Chipotle is paying for four nights, we are paying for one. We are also going to see the Cirque show "KA" while we are there and calling it our "BABYMOON." According to Wikipedia is to describe a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby.

Here is a sneak peak to the show KA.

Burning a hole in the carpet...

Last night I went to the bathroom four times. Yes, FOUR. We went to bed early around 10:30. The trips were at 11:45, 1:45, 4:40, and 6:30.

We had the carpet estimator come by yesterday and give us a second bid. He was very professional and seemed trustworthy. He brought three samples. You could tell one was a low end, middle and high end version. My eye went straight for the middle of the road one. His bid was $600 cheaper than Lowes. The one I like is the second row, on the left. It is a tad darker than what we have now, but not by much.

It was strange, Mike got a call from Lowes yesterday too, asking us why we have not confirmed the sale yet. Mike told them we got a different bid and said that it was 600 cheaper and all inclusive unlike their sloppy expensive bid that makes you pay for everything individually.
They stammered around the conversation and finally hung up. I told Mike they should give us a $35 on a refund for their crappy estimate.

We also have a house guest this weekend. Buster's buddy Chloe will be here till Monday night. She is so sweet and no trouble at all. I think Buster likes to pal around with her! She is laying right next to me as I type this in the office. Buster is in the hallway. Buster does keep a close eye on her while she is here, but I think he loves having company.
