Well we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We left on Tuesday and got into Boston late Tuesday night. On Wednesday we hung out, did some shopping, and then went over to Donna and Judy’s to hang out with some friends of the Nantels. It was good to see everyone.
On Thursday, everyone came over to Marc and Kathy’s, so we got to see almost the whole family. It was a great time, Marc set up the Wii for the kids (and adults) outside and of course the food was absolutely wonderful. Everyone kept telling me how big I was, which I didn’t really agree with. I think I am still in denial that I am even showing, even though random strangers have started to ask me about being pregnant. We had deep fried turkey, traditional turkey ham and crown pork roast. The twice baked potatoes were outta this world.
On Friday we layed low, and then went out to dinner with Marco, Stacey, Michel, Max, and Marc and Kathy. Marc announced that for our Christmas present this year, they would buy tickets for us to fly out to Boston next summer, and for Marco and Stacey to fly down to Jacksonville in May. So we are super excited. In May, Marc & Kathy, Marco & Stacey and the boys will be coming down to visit us, and see the new baby for the first time.
On Saturday, the Nantels threw us a surprise baby shower! It was so much fun, not your traditional boring tea party baby shower, it was an all-out party! We got a ton of gifts and gift cards. It’s so exciting to see that we’re getting so close to welcoming our baby girl.
Sadly on Sunday we had to come back to Jacksonville. This Thursday we have our 24 week appointment. I have started taking medicine for the Gestational Diabetes, and it seems to be working, my blood sugars have been under control, even over the Thanksgiving holiday, thanks to Marc’s careful attention to my diet and eating schedule.
15 weeks and 5 days ’til she drops!
