Do y'all smell that smoked turkey?

Can ya believe it's Thanksgiving already? I know I can't! This year has gone by in a blur. Seems just yesterday I found out I was preggers...and here I am just days away from being 30wks. Crazy! The one thing I absolutely am glad for is the cold weather. Going through pregnancy during Spring and Summer here in the deep South is just plain cruelty and misery! I can't blame anyone but myself and of course hubby. :) It's all his fault right ladies? Okay, so it's frost, but it's the closest thing to snow we'll ever see in these parts! So, for those of you that have never been to the South, here it is our snow!

I went back to the doctor yesterday, and am happy to report that everything is going well. It's kind of scary actually. Around this time with KJ, I was dealing with 3 different issues...whereas with this one, I've just felt icky the entire time. If I were still working, they would've definitely fired my behind because I just wouldn't have been able to make it! I did have to repeat a one hour glucose just to make sure I don't develop gestational diabetes like I did with KJ. I passed the first one I took a couple of months ago...praying that this one comes back good too. The ultrasound I took last week went well. She weighs almost 3lbs and her overall growth is looking good. Of course, my high risk OB has to bring it up everytime that they have to check the heart and all the other stuff for signs of Downs with my age...and reminds me constantly that just because they don't see anything doesn't rule out the possiblility. I understand his stand, but geesh dude, if I don't have enough to worry about! In a way I'm thankful that they check me as regular as they do...it still blows my mind that most women only have ultrasounds like two times the entire pregnancy. Me on the other hand, I have one every month...and before that, every two weeks to ck heart tones. So, in that respect...I've been lucky.

Other than that, not much else has been going on. I'm just sitting here cutting up seasoning for my dressing, boiling chicken for the dressing (and for the broth),boiling potatoes for the potato salad...loving all of the smells wafting through the house. Now if my back will just cooperate...I'll be a happy and full camper! I'm also glad hubby is home and the kid has kind of stopped clinging a little. He was only gone for two weeks, but for some reason KJ still had to warm back up to him.

Here are a few photos of the little guy and his ever so growing afro! He'll have it for the winter...I think...it's out of control now! Take care all! Have a wonderful and filling Thanksgiving! :)
