I can't believe how fast time is flying, the end of this pregnancy will be here before I know it! I have survived the last 3 weeks with my daughter's 4th birthday, my son's 6th birthday and Thanksgiving. Busy times and all those birthdays mean lots of cake around this house:( I enjoy making the cake and really like eating it but I have been on cake overload and I am glad the last morsel was eaten today. Now maybe I can keep my weight in check the last weeks of this pregnancy...cake always does a number on me!
We had a good Thanksgiving which started with a family dinner on Wednesday night with my mom's family. We ended up with around 37 people for dinner, all my immediate family (cousins, aunts, uncles and their little people.) I am blessed with the large family we have!
Thursday we took things slow in the morning before heading up to Galax, VA to spend the holiday with my in laws. It is always quiet up there as it was just the 5 of us and them but a good time anyway. We were able to go and cut down our Christmas trees which is an annual tradition when we go up there for Thanksgiving each year. Saturday after bringing the girls back to Charlotte, my son, husband and I went to Raleigh for the NCSU game. We had fun despite the chill in the air when the sun went down. I was even allotted a trip to Chapel Hill to get some stickers for my car and for dinner. Sad as it is, I have only been there 2 times since I graduated 11 years ago:(
We are starting our Christmas decorating today, but I have been left to do it by myself which is not as much fun so it is a slow process...the things that will get me writing my blog instead!
As for the pregnancy, I am feeling pretty good. My Braxton hicks are starting to pick up so I am trying to take it easy, at least until my OB visit this week. They don't hurt but I feel the tightening and sometimes a few per hour so something that keeps me thinking about it. I have done pretty well keeping the weight gain to a pound per week, some weeks might be 2 pounds but then I hold steady the next. Too bad I am heaver now then with any of the other kids...but March 1st will start my extreme fitness makeover to get back in shape so I can let my body do what it needs to now!
I can't believe that I am in the single digit countdown now! Only 9 weeks to go...even though that still sounds like an eternity, I know it will continue to fly by!
