Pregnancy brings up the most random side effects. Fatigue and discomfort is here everyday now, but I have been pretty lucky to have a pretty easy pregnancy with few side effects. The side effects I have had have been pretty small and relatively insignificant. I have gotten a few random side effects that are purely cosmetic issues and make me more curious than anything. Skin tags, little red dots, a very slight linea negra, and worst of all (and the most noticeable too), a mustache line! I don't have any extra hair on my upper lip, believe me, I tried to shave it and everything! But there is always a a dark line that resembles a mustache. It gets worse with sunlight exposure and can be seen from a fair distance away, and it doesn't get easily covered with make up. I'm not sure if this is really what is considered "the mask of pregnancy", because I haven't gotten dark spots anywhere else, but I don't know what else to call it. Maybe they can make a new side effect name for me: "Drea's mustache". Maybe not. Hopefully it fades after pregnancy, because having a mustache you can't shave doesn't seem like the prettiest thing to own :)

Other than that.... here is an update: Bugs are gone, I got a new fancy vacuum (I'm a vacuum freak), Jerry is sleepy, baby is bouncing all over the place, I'm feeling crafty, and feeling hungry.
Speaking of hunger, here are two food photos from this weekend. I made a chickpea pot pie for Eric and Steve friday night. And Eric made biscuits and "sausage" gravy for brunch saturday. Since both meals are considerably brown and unhealthy, neither looks very appetizing, but believe me, they were both delicious and made with love.
This was actually the smaller version of the chickpea pot pie made with the extra dough and insides that were leftover. The biscuits were also vegan and made from scratch. I would have preferred the gravy to be a bit creamier, but Eric likes a thicker gravy. Delicious both ways. Mmmm. Brown food weekends.
