Well, it's the first day of November...only 45 days until we're back state side! It's the last day of work for me. Josh and I decided that it would be a good idea for me and the baby to stop working around the chemicals here at the copy shop. I'm pretty excited because I don't really like how the owners run FedEx Kinko's here...it doesn't even feel like I'm really working for the same company as in the US. There are significant differences. Anyway...it's my last day! I'm excited to have some free time to take some art classes, keep active, hang out at the pool and prepare for a new baby! It will be really nice to have time to help Josh out too, he's been so crazy busy at his job.
I feel good...no morning sickness! I can't believe it! I'm almost 9 weeks! I think that means I may have escaped that part!
I hope everyone had a fun Halloween, I missed an amazing party with EJDJ - but I heard that my Dad got some good video of the night. I'm looking forward to seeing that! Eric proposing to Sammi had to have been the highlight of the night! Congrats you two!! :)

Happy Halloweeeennn!!
Hello fans of the Munson Baby Blog! Happy Halloween! It's so very Halloweenish here in Abu Dhabi. I'm being so very sarcastic. It's definitely hard to get used to not seeing pumpkins and ghouls running around. Boring! I'm really going to miss giving out candy to the kids and seeing their cute costumes. Anyway, I'm wearing my orange and black today...no one gets why, but I'm wearing it like a champ! Spreading my Halloween cheer!
Hey...something funny today...someone told me that I have a pregnanacy glow....NEAT!
Love you all!

Kanye West in Dubai!
Whoo! I am not feeling as tired anymore so going to the Desert Rhythm Festival in Dubai was so much fun! Kanye West was the headliner - he was amazing! What a high energy show. I loved seeing Ziggy Marley as well. This was the closest chance I would ever get to see Bob. What an incredible resemblance - pretty cool. He even sang some of his dad's stuff.
Don't tell Josh, but I hope our baby likes rap music! Ha! :)

First blood tests...
All of my blood tests came back today and they were all good! I'm so happy! I found out that I my blood type is A negative, which I didn't know or couldn't remember from before. Very happy that all is good. In two weeks I will call to get my first ultrasound or sonogram...I'm not sure which...
Yay! More to come....

Josh and Deanna go to Paris - Baby too!
Josh and I boarded our plane to Paris on Ocotober 6th. I was super excited as I always am to fly to a place that I've never been. Paris too! How romantic! Josh and I were meeting his parents, Bobbi & Arnold along with Josh's brother Matt, his wife Jen & their cutie 1 year old Lola. The flight was about 7 hours...
We took a taxi to our apartment shortly after arrival and Josh and I were talking about how we would tell everyone that I was expecting. My idea was to take out the book "What to Expect When You are Expecting" and start reading it in front of everyone and see if they notice. We agreed...this is what we will do...good. As we were passing all of this wonderfully french stuff in our taxi we started to talk about what would happen if they asked me if I wanted a drink...I just said I would say no because I don't feel very good after the flight. Okay agreed.
We arrive at the apartment...Matt, Jen, Bobbi & Arnold are such troopers and waiting up for us...they're jet lag was much worse than ours I bet. First things first, Josh, Dee would you like some wine? I said no, I don't really like wine...good...no one asked any questions. Jen and Matt went to bed and then we went out to dinner with Bobbi & Arnold at a place called Le Nemrod. I thought the name was strangely similar to nimrod, so that was a bit humorous. Anyway...we were chatting away and Josh's Mom says," So Dee what's new at home?" Josh says," Yeeeaaaaahhh Deanna, what IS new at home." I say, "OHhhhhh, what's new at hoooomme?" Well, I guess our plan just went out the door! Ha! Josh obviously wanted me to spill the beans immediately - cute. We told them. Arnold is like,"I knew it!" They were both really excited and wanted to call, Becca - Josh's sister- immediately! We tried to call almost all night...she never would pick up...finally about midnight she did. She was crying and excited, I think a little sad that she couldn't be there with us too. She's a teacher, so vacations only happen in the summer for her so she couldn't come. All in all I did get to use the book to surprise Matt & Jen. I said,"Jen, I'm reading this new book...what do you think of it?" I show her the book - her eyes get all big - excitement ensues. Matt says something classic,"I knew it! Dee NEVER turns down a drink!!!"

We're having a baby!!
Josh and I were very excited on October 4th when we first found out that I was pregnant!
I took two tests and I could barely get my pants up and they were positive! I guess it's time...I think that it was the most fun being able to tell family and friends. My Mom was first...we were flying to Paris the next day to see Josh's parents and I knew I had to tell mine first! So she's chatting with Josh on the phone forever and Josh is like, "Well, I'll let you talk to Deanna." My Mom keeps talking to him, I'm sitting there laughing because I know she wants to know this but she keeps talking to Josh and has no idea that I NEED to talk to her...so then Josh says, "Well I'll let you talk to Deanna, now." She KEEPS talking to him...funny Mom! Eventually Josh was able to wrangle my Mom into a conversation with me...one she would never forget...She says,"I bet you are excited to go to Paris!" I say, "Yes I am excited to go to Paris, but I am even more excited to tell you that you are going to be a Grandmother!" Mom says nothing...like nothing for like what felt like eternity...then I heard her gasp like she was crying so hard, then she says,"Oh, honey!" She was happy...we were happy...it was awesome! The only thing that would have made it better would have been to be there with her!
Then I called my dad, no answer...onto my brother Eric...I knew he would be floored! I told him he was going to be an uncle! He says,"Seriously?...Seriously?....That's awesome!" Then he says, "My life is going to change!" I said, "Your life?!" It was funny. He asked me if I called Sammi yet...she was next!
Well, all in all everyone that I talked to was very happy! So were we.
