I helped make all the trimmings for the turkey and as dinner time rolled around, I was so excited to try and enjoy Thanksgiving with some turkey, gravy and all the fixings... alas, not this year. As I ate a small piece of turkey, my taste buds screamed "NO! GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!". The turkey was horrible (due to baby, not my wonderful mother-in-laws cooking). Everyone else loved it and the bird looked beautiful. However, I did manage to eat LOTS of sweet potatoes :). On top of raw carrots, crackers and delicious ice cream, I was quite full by the end of the visit. Of course, upon arriving back home at my parents house, I was ready to start all over again, eating a banana, ginger cookies, pumpkin pie (couldn't finish because it tasted way too salty) and a croissant. We decided to make the announcement public on Facebook, with my status: has been diagnosed with two heartbeats, and Steve's status: mission accomplished, my wife is pregnant! We got lots of congrats from friends and family and all in all it was a great night. By 9, I was tired and ready for bed.
I am ever so thankful for all the support and love that we are receiving from our family and friends. It has been such a busy year: getting married, buying a house and now getting pregnant. But I wouldn't change it for anything. We are both so happy and blessed. And now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, onto Christmas!!! Totally excited to get a Christmas tree in our new home. Yey for the holidays!!!
