Yucky weekend

Andrew and I had a great Thanksgiving. We went to visit his family. They aren't very punctual but they sure can cook! We had a great meal. I brought a chicken poppy seed casserole and it was definitely a hit! I got the recipe from a co-worker's wife and have been sharing it with everyone, as I'm sure she did too.

Later that evening though, I started feeling yuck. Well, it only got worse. By Friday I had a sore throat. Saturday, I went to the doctor and they told me I had a bacterial infection. He prescribed me a z-pack which I've been taking, along with Tylenol. My sore throat is gone, but I can't quit blowing my nose. I have all this drainage and my voice sounds horrible! I stayed home from work today, but hopefully I'll be back by tomorrow.

On top of all of that, my great-grandma passed away Sunday night. I was sad when I found out, but she was 100 years old and lived a long life so that gives me peace. The obituary will be online tomorrow, and I think I might post part of it. My mom told me today that my aunt included Nicholas in it. It's going to read that my great-grandma had "11 grand children, 20 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren and one on the way." I thought that was very nice to include Nicholas because they really didn't have to.

Speaking of Nicholas, I'm going to work on his room some. Nothing major, but just feel like getting off the couch for a bit.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is staying warm in this new cold weather. Brrrr!

Glider

We ordered our glider today! Can't wait to get it in. It's so comfy! (Ours is not so dark. We ordered the cherry color to match the crib.)

November update

While I still prefer writing in my journal, I just wanted to give everyone an update!

Baby news --
It's a BOY! We're naming him Nicholas James and so far he's a BIG boy! He's weighing 2 lbs. 4 oz. right now, and I'm terrified. lol Big babies run in both Andrew and my family and Nicholas is definitely proving that point!

Andrew and I have registered and are pretty much finished up. We've gotten the crib, dresser and have organized the baby's room for the most part. We still have lots to do but we'll get there.

My stomach now moves. You can look at my stomach and see him move which is a little weird at times when I'm not expecting it. I've seen several people stare at my tummy and I wonder if they can see him moving while we're talking. lol

Speaking of people --I (along with my friend Amy) have gotten some of the rudest comments ever regarding our pregnancy. People just don't have tact when they open their mouths! We've both gotten some pretty strange/inappropriate comments and are determined to write a book about it. May it will be an etiquette book when all is said and done! lol

Upcoming events --
Nov. 27 -Thanksgiving with my (extended) in-laws
Dec. 5 -Baby shower in SA
Dec. 12 -Friend shower (mainly sorority sisters)
Dec. 24- Andrew's birthday & Christmas Eve at my in-laws
Dec. 25 -Christmas Day --traveling to SA
Jan. 15 -Tentative work shower
Jan. 16 -Baby shower in Comanche (tentative date)

Then...Nicholas will be here! He's measuring a week and a half ahead of schedule so I'm guessing he'll be here at the beginning of February. Time sure is flying!

Hope all is well! I'm off to bed :) Night!
