Thanksgiving 2011

It was so nice to get out of the house a bit and visit with family.  We had such a good time as usual.  I had doctors orders to take it easy all weekend so I actually felt pretty lazy! It was nice:) 

The food was excellent, the fellowship wonderful!  It was nice to have Ian home for several days too. 

At 11pm Rebekah and I ventured out into the crazy masses to do  some Black Friday shopping.  I have never seen such a line! It was insane!  For as crowded at it was the people didn’t seem too crazy though. I barely saw any running, I definitely didn’t see any pushing, and the only arguing I saw was when they were letting people in the store about 10 or so people around us tried to sneak into the line.  The girl behind us still handled it pretty well.  She told them it wasn’t fair that they just cut line after we had been standing for so long and they needed to go to the back of the line.  They ignored her of course.  She then threatened to make a scene and somehow they ended up leaving. I am not sure if it was because of her threats or because security pulled them out of line. I missed it because the line was moving the whole time and people were cutting a little in front of us so I had to watch that action too.  Don’t worry though. The lady in front of us told security and they pulled those people out also.   We got our few buys then headed for checkout.  The checkout line was like 45 minutes also.  Crazy!  It was fun though. I always enjoy going with Rebekah.  I was ready to be back home though! We left the house at almost 11 and got back home around 1:30am.  Not too bad!  I was ready to be back though.  Black Friday shopping and pregnancy didn’t go well together for me!  At least we didn’t go to Wal-mart!

I’m Back!!!

Hopefully…. My computer has been broken for awhile now.  It seems to be working again.  A lot has happened during my time off and I hope to be able to blog about some of it.   Look for me soon!!!

Fall Is In The Air 2011

We had a great weekend in Maryville enjoying this fall weather.  It was nice to get away from home for a few days and to get to visit with family. The weather was lovely!

Bark in the Park 2011

Ian’s bank always has a booth set up at Bark in the Park every year.  They take pictures of the dogs and their owners.  We don’t have a dog, but we go to support Ian.  Actually, we go so the boys can see the dogs.  They think it is awesome.  I even picked up 2 cute puppies while I was there…

 

11 Weeks Celebration

I am 11 weeks today and we got to see our sweet baby.  It actually looked like a baby this time and not just a blob:)  It’s little arms and legs were moving every where.  We thought it would be a cute idea to take Ty and Micah with us for this ultrasound.  They did decently okay.  Micah kept saying ‘oooh, baby’ and doing this new fake laugh that he does.  It’s pretty cute:)  Ty was worried. He was pretty whiney during part of it because I was on the table.  He kept saying ‘help’ meaning he wanted to help me up.  So pitiful!  As soon as we were finished though and I was off the table, he was excited about the baby and kept talking about it.  Here are some pictures we received today.

8 Weeks 5 Days

I went to the doctor today for an ultrasound.  I was very pleased to see my sweet teeny tiny baby.  They said it has a good strong heartbeat, in the 180s. I am 8 weeks, 5 days. That means I am a full week behind what I thought.  I was a little disappointed in the information.  I’m disappointed because that means a whole week added to my sickness.  Other than that, I am okay with this information.  I do have to go back on my previous blogs and change the weeks. 

7 Weeks.

I haven’t felt like doing much so far this pregnancy.  I can’t believe how sick I am this time.  I have 1 week to go till my first doctor visit.  It will be nice to finally go and hopefully find out if it’s only 1 baby.  I am sure it is!  Having twins before makes me very nervous though!  It will be nice to finally hear the heartbeat too. 

We made a trip to Chattanooga this weekend to visit my sister and her family. It has been a nice get away from our house and cooking and cleaning.  It has been wonderful to have Ian home for a long weekend too!  I was very excited to buy a few pieces of maternity clothes. I’m not quite ready for them yet, but it will be nice to have more options when that time comes.  I can actually say that I am very excited to wear these few things I bought. 

The baby this week is apparently the size of a kidney bean.  It’s growing its toes and fingers! It just amazes me every week to see how much it grows!  It is seriously amazing!  It’s amazing to know that God is forming this sweet little baby! It already has a heartbeat, a brain, and lungs are developing!  So wonderful!
