Thanksgiving Recap

Lucky for me, since obviously I can't seem to do pregnancy and blogging at the same time (I guess I'm not that coordinated), my sister posted the pics and gave the update on our Thanksgiving fun. Oh and be warned, Ashley actually tends to blog on her blog, so you might have to scroll down a bit. Evan's sister, Jen, flew out from Utah to vist too and it was fun for me to have so many willing hands to help with Colt.

I will say that I felt like a stellar mom when I got up with Ashley and Chanel to do the Black Friday thing. I got Colton's gift from Santa and his birthday present too. The love I must feel for that boy to get myself out of bed to make sure he got his Elmo "Giggle and go garage" - it's called something like that. Especially because I had a little one of my hypoglycemic attacks in the middle of Target (did any of y'all have that when pregnant?) I think I did a good job of freaking out Chanel ... and how stupid was I ... going to get a bottle of water! Once I grabbed a thing of orange juice, I was ready to go again.

Three weeks and counting till we're home for the holidays (oops - Evan doesn't love it that I still call Texas home). I will try to blog more - and with pictures! Keep checking back because we find out on December 18th what this little baby is (if he/she is not keeping their legs crossed like Colton was determined to do...)

Baking

I'm back to blogging...was that my longest hiatus ever? I have been "baking" as my friend Chanel affectionately refers to it. Baking a bun in the oven, if you will. Our second baby makes his/her debut in the middle of May. Last week at my 12 week appointment, I heard the heartbeat for the first time. Can I just say I love that part? Colt was a little scared of the noise that filled the doctor's office, but that beautiful sound makes the pregnancy so real to me.

So there's my excuse for my hermit ways. I'm still trying to kick the morning sickness so my sister did my job for me and posted pics of Colt at Halloween. Check out her blog here.

Oh and a shout out to the Twilight series! My sister-in-law Carolynn sent the series to me and I could not put them down. As soon as I finished the 3rd book, I read them all again. Embarrassing, but true. So now, not only do I want to be part of Harry Potter and company, I want to bffs with the Edward and Bella clan too. Is it healthy to want so many fantasy friends? :)
