Thanksgiving Weekend

Wow! What a weekend! Marty and I celebrated Thanksgiving with both sides of the family. My grandmother who lives in Ohio, made the trip down to Kate's to see everyone. Kate and Telena made a great dinner, and of course we all ate way too much. For dinner, we headed to Georgetown to eat another yummy dinner at Aunt Bo's house. It was so wonderful to see everyone at both places. I kept thinking, this time next year we will be chasing Sophia around as I am sure she will be crawling by then!

This weekend I have been feeling more and more movements from Sophie. I have noticed a pattern of when she is more active and when I assume she must be sleeping. I guess she takes after the Hukill's since she is not too active until about 10ish in the morning-- my dad would be so proud!!!! I generally feel her again about 7ish for a couple of hours. It is truly an amazing feeling knowing she is in there moving around and growing all the time.

Today was a big day- we had a baby shower with family at my step-grandmother's house. She, Kate and Kerrie really did a wonderful job on the details. Everything was so thoughtfully put together and the food was wonderful! I generally do not like being the center of attention but it was well worth it being with all the people who truly care and love Sophie already! Marty and I are blessed to have a loving family and friends like we do!! When I arrived home, Marty was just as excited to see all the new baby items we received. I am anxious to get all her things washed and put away as well as wall hangings up and the crib ready! There is so much to do; however, I know that we will have plenty of time to get everything accomplished we need to before she arrives.

On Friday, I have to return to the doctor for the 3 hour glucose screening, since I apparently failed the one hour screening a couple of weeks ago. I will keep you updated as to how this goes. I am dreading it :(
