Happy Wednesday!

We're experiencing another snowy day here in Vermont. We're under a Winter Weather Advisory until tomorrow due to heavy snowfall and gusty winds. The drive to work this morning took an hour and 15 minutes and unfortunately about 10 minutes in I had to go to the bathroom and I was starving so it seemed more like 4 hours to me!! The delay was due to 5 tractor-trailer trucks that got stuck going up a hill and blocked the highway. Two of them are what Kevin called Rocky Mountain Doubles that look like this Those trucks must be insanely heavy and the tow trucks looked like they were struggling! It was quite a sight to see 5 huge trucks paralyzed due to snow. We took a few photos at the house before we left...
My winter coat will no longer zip/button up and I don't want to buy a new coat just for the next two months so for now I just button the top button and look a little silly...It looks like we're in for a snowy week! No new updates on Baby Duggan today. We had lots of blood work and tests done at the hospital Monday but we won't find any results out for about two weeks. At our last ultrasound we were told the baby was in the normal range and everything looked great so I'm not really worried at all.

I've been increasing my exercise routine due to the 9 lbs. I've gained in the last 3 weeks!!! 3 lbs a week is a little excessive, but as I explained to my mid-wife, I am hungry ALL the time. The food cravings are killing me as well; it’s hard to eat healthy when all I want is chocolate. This morning I started the day off with a healthy bowl of bran cereal and I had to ignore the urge I had to add peanut butter. Is that weird or what? For some reason, I just wanted peanut butter in my cereal. I wish it would subside a little; even I'm getting tired of eating! Kevin is also packing on the pounds and he recently hit a new all time high on the scale this week! Kevin's sympathy pregnancy bump is coming along nicely! It's hard to stay active when all it does is snow and I can't snowboard anymore, but we went to the gym last night and we plan to do that everyday this week. We’re even planning to go for a moonlight snowshoe tonight!
