No big plans for Thanksgiving here, at least not that I know of yet. I am waiting to hear from my parents as to whether or not they are coming down to visit. They may come down the weekend after Thanksgiving or something like that. I don’t know yet. They haven’t given me a direct answer. I am kinda hoping that they do, but at the same time I am hoping that they don’t because that means I have to do a lot of work around the house before they come. At least if they do come, my mom will help me make thanksgiving dinner though. --- I plan on going shopping on the day after. Not all day though. I will wait and make a list of the places that I want to go and hopefully be done by lunch time. I hope I have enough energy to keep going though! I told Quentin we were going to have to rent a wheelchair for me that day because I wasn’t missing it! If any one wants to check out the ads as they come out the website I use is: blackfriday.gottadeal.com/

Hey Jacque - no big plans for Thanksgiving, we will be with family like we usually do. First my parents for lunch and then with the IL's at night. No shopping the day after for me! I hate crowds and lines! Well, I just had my 6 week pp visit and asked the doc if I had Factor 5 and he said no, it's a prothrombin gene mutation, I thought that was the same thing! Oh well, it has the same effect. Oh, and my first day back at work will be November 27. I don't wanna go back! But it's only a month of full time and then on January 2 I go back part time! Yay! Only 2 days a week! It's gonna be awesome! Let's just hope I can pay all the bills!

Linda - I would agree, not worth the risk for another child. if you decide to want #3 you could adopt. I know several people who did that with child #3.
Jennifer - thanks for the website. congrats on them moving your EDD, little over a month yet
Jacque - I always worried when Natalie didn't move much either.
Sorry busy around here, painting our bedroom Getting ready for JAcob's 4th b-day party which is Sunday, then next Sunday is Natalie's baptism

We usually go shopping the day after Thanksgiving... but we do not even leave the house until around noon. That way we do not run into much of a crowd, you know... since most people leave insanely early in the morning to get all of the deals. We just go because I think it is a nice way to kick off the holidays. Well, it is official... I have less then 100 days. I am now in the double digits! Garrett was active this weekend, and this morning but is quite once again. I have only felt him move about 10 times in the last two hours. I know this is normal and that he needs his downtime... so for right now I am ok with it. I think that I will not quit worrying until he is delivered, and then a whole new group of worries will start. The best part is that I will be in my 3rd trimester in 7 days!!!!! Diane: How did Jacob's birthday go? I remember when we were talking about his 3r birthday! Time really goes by so fast now that we are "all grown up" Kailey said to me today.... "I cannot believe that we have 44 days until Chrismtas... that is forever!" LOL forever, no way.... that seems like it is right around the corner! Linda: 14 days until you have to go back to work! I am so glad you only have a month of full time, that will be nice to go down to part time. So, who is watching the kids while you are at work? Jennifer: I LOVE to Christmas shop. I cannot wait until the day after Thanksgiving, I just hope I have enough energy to get some real shopping done! Jacque

So, DH and I booked a vacation for New Years. We are leaving on the 29th and going to Gatlinburg, TN, coming home on New Years Day. We are staying in a cabin in the mountains that has a King bed and a Jacuzzi and Hot tub. We are taking a helicopter ride over the mountains, going horseback riding through the mountains and going to a New Years Eve bash at the aquarium and we'll be dancing in a shark tunnel! I cannot wait!!!! It's costing a little more than I thought, but we should have a blast! No kids too, lol!!!
Jacque - Yay on 100 days!!! Woo hoo!!!! Can't wait to see that little boy! My mom will be watching the kids when I go back to work, she offered!
Diane - hope the party went well! Glad Natalie is doing better!

Linda: Your trip sounds fabulous! You are going to have such a wonderful time... talk about an awesome way to bring in the new year. At this rate I will be huge, swollen, and sleeping at the stroke of midnight... but I would not have it any other way. --- It is great that the kids will be staying with your mom. That way you did not have to worry about finding a sitter, plus.... you know that your mom will just spoil them rotten. It will be nice to know that they are in good hands. Diane: I almost forgot.... congrats on Natalie's weight gain!!! Jacque

Linda - Your trip sounds fabulous! Can I go?! I really liked TN when we were there. We ate at the Aquarium restaurant in Nashville, it was really nice (especially if you like seafood...which I don't but what I ate was good). I assume if it tis the same restaurant in Gatlinburg it will be just as nice! I am figuring that I will have an all expensive paid trip to the hospital around New Year's! Hopefully I will be home from the hospital by then though and ringing in the new year with a kiss from my baby!

Linda - the trip sounds great. JAcque - wow, less than 100 days, time is flying by, soon we will get to meet your new little one. Jennifer - not much longer now, are you all prepared? ? Jacob's party went well, trying to reclean the house, 8 kids under the age of 6 can tear up a house quickly - party was only 2 hours. Natalie is getting baptized on Sunday, so another party here then can focus on Christmas. 44 days left isn't much at all.

Diane - Glad to hear that Jacob's party went well! I don't want to imagine the mess the kids left you though! Believe me, I have seen what kind of damage little boys can do! I have 10 nephews!!! They are always into something! I hope Natalie's baptism goes well on Sunday. I am trying to get things started for Aryanna's baptism. I think we may do a joint baptism with my sister's baby. I am just having a hard time deciding on God-parents. I didn't realize that they had to be Catholic to be the God-parents so I have to re-think the whole thing. I would love ot have them picked out before she gets here and that doesn't give me much time! We are trying to get everything ready but it is hard when you dont really know what you NEED versus what you THINK you need! We worked a little on her nursery this weekend but not too much.
As for Christmas, I am sooo excited! We are putting up our tree on Thanksgiving! I wanted to do it today and Quentin said the either the Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving so we compromised on Thanksgiving day! We don't have much else to do that day anyways. It is just going to be us 2 here that day. It will be my very first Thanksgiving without my family. So I will probably not feel up to doing much anyways. The good thing about staying home instead of going to Ohio is that I dont have to get up as early the day after to go shopping since our mall is only about 15 minutes away. At my mom's we have to drive an hour to get to the mall!!! Tonight, I am working on the list of stuff that I plan on buying that day. Let me tell you, I haven't found much that I really want to get. The sales aren't that good this year until you are planning on buying big electronics!
Quentin and I have decided that we are just getting us 1 gift together (a DVD cam) and then we will just get stocking stuffers for each other since we have had to buy a lot of stuff for Aryanna lately. Plus it is something we have both really wanted and we really want to have one before she is here!!!

Jennifer - I thought only one person had to be CAtholic not both godparents? ? I know they prefer both but not mandotary I noticed the same thing, no big sales, might not even go shopping that day since we are getting the kids pics done on Saturday. Linda - they look similar that is for sure. I need to get pics up, but hard to keep caught up and to get pics up

Linda - They definitely look like brother and sister!
Diane - I will have to check into that. From everything I read (which isn't much) I thought they both had to be Catholic. If they don't, that helps out ALOT!!!

I know my sis chose me and I am not Catholic, so I would look into it. I just don't think it is what they prefer, but my sis really wanted me, and they said as long as one is Catholic then it is OK
Posted some pics from the weekend.
