Well, nothing too exciting about baby except that within a month (give or take a week - hopefully take), it will be here! I had a check-in with the nurse today and the baby is still head down, as it has been the whole time! Hopefully it won't flip up where for others they usually have the baby flip down. Other than that - the heartbeat was above 15o so I either ate a sugary breakfast or it was in the middle of its morning calesthenics! Everything else seemed normal though. I go back in 2 weeks when my actual Dr comes back from her maternity leave and do some more, ahem, tests (not fun ones from what I've heard) and then we'll see if we're making any progress yet. I did ask about when they start looking at if I can/will go earlier than later...she said the 4th of January! That was NOT the answer I was looking for, but I guess things can change at any time. I'll remain hopeful.
This past weekend was so fun, Saturday Jason and I spent almost the entire day together which was nice. He came with me to do some early exchanges, returns, quick gift stuff and then we were able to hang at the house...minus my pumpkin pie incident and the 1-2 hour lull in our activities where he had to take apart the oven door to clean out pumpkin goo. Oh well, there was another one and we were able to salvage some of the pie - pumpkin pie is precious in our house, we do what we can to prevent any waste of it!
Saturday night we had our first Thanksgiving (of the week) over at my parents. Mandy and Jason came in town that evening as well as my Dad being in town over the weekend. Chris made delicious food and we ate, laughed...and I was able to hold back tears as my Dad gave me a letter making it very clear that "the kid" will ski - and he knows a really good instructor who can teach it! He also gave me two hand knit (by the lady that cuts his hair, not him) ski hats, one for a boy and one for a girl. Seriously, my Dad is tall and loud, but he's a total softy and one certain look from him and I'm mush. I also received a photo collage that my Mom had made of ski pictures from the past. So cute!!!
Sunday we woke to the metro area and then some, covered in ice so the day got a late start, but I was perfectly content in my jammy pants and cup of half-caf coffee! My sister Jen threw me my family baby shower which was so nice. She cooked all the food, an amazing carrot cake, had a sit down brunch/lunch and then we enjoyed some games and gift opening with Jason family, and my "family" - actual relatives aside from my sisters and Mom were not present, but my extended family (God-Mother & sister, close friends of my Mom) and then gifts sent from the blood relatives. A good time was had by all and Jason and I had so much fun going through the gifts that night. It is becoming more and more real that the room filling up with all that baby stuff will soon be occupied...by a baby!
39 more days according to my iPhone app...but who's counting?!?
