Thanksgiving weekend

Happy Belated Thanksgiving. I've been meaning to write in here all weekend - however, just never got the energy to compose my thoughts. Now it's sunday, and I should at least make the effort.. :)

Thanksgiving was only Mom, Dan and I at our house. Everything tasted wonderful. Amy's dogs were over, along with Asha, so we had quite the animal house. Amy and Scott were in CA with his family. Pretty quiet Thanksgiving.

Then it was Black Friday - the most irratic shopping day ever. I tried it. Was generally surprised. I do remember going a few years back to Best Buy and waited like 2 hours in line, however, they seem to have figured things out - we were 3rd in line. That was cool. And Wallyworld was the same - lots of people inside the store, but got through the checkout lines in fast order.

Because it was so easy, I really do have most of my Xmas shopping done. That is WAY nice.

Saturday was Lefse making. We managed to finish up 2 complete batches before I called it done. :) I was tired. My back was killing me. Everyone had a good time. I think we finally finished about 4pm.

Sunday was clean up the house day. I worked on the office and Dan worked in the Garage. We are trying really hard to get things ready so I can go out and get some baby furniture - oh, and speaking of baby... watch for the announcement probably close to the end of the month. :)

Seems like forever

Ok, so since last time I wrote - only a couple of things happened - Dan and I joined my family for my cousin's wedding in Omaha. Very Pretty. Kudos to my aunt for doing this all out of town. It was fun getting together with the whole family. Getting to see cousins that I haven't seen in years, since they weren't able to come to my wedding due to Iraq - it was great. My family sure knows how to welcome people into the family. :)

And today we had our second dr. appt. Got to hear the heart beat. I think I was expecting the thump thump that you hear through a stethescope... but it was a whooshing sound.. I listened to it and started to laugh - so the dr. was only able to listen for a little bit. 160 beats per minute. It's amazing. He said it's about 3 inches long. WOW - it's tripled in size. I keep reading my book to see what it's doing next, and it's just amazing what's going on - AND I didn't even gain any weight. I did break down and buy some maternity pants - cuz gosh those snaps/buttons sure do cut you in the stomach... All the styles of clothes out there are pretty much the same as Maternity, so I really don't have to worry too much about the tops.

We are both sick right now. As Dan is reading over my shoulder, he says hello to the world. Ok, those of you who really know him, know he's not saying hi, especially when he's sick. So I will just leave it at that.
