Whew, Brooklinn – we have had a busy last few weeks and it is only going to get busier until you get here! On November 23rd, some of mommy’s best friends threw us a baby shower. Lindsay, Melissa, and Catherine held the shower on the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving at Catherine’s house in Huntersville. The house was decorated so cute and was filled with so many of my amazing friends. The girls made foods that I have been eating often while I’ve been pregnant. The menu included things like pasta alfredo with mushrooms, pizza with sausage & banana peppers, cheese dip, air heads, peanut butter m&ms, apples, grapes, and even a big glass bowl of lucky charms! J We played several games- Samantha Harris correctly guessed my belly size, Amanda McCann won the “Mommy & Daddy Trivia” (hehe, even though she has known us the shortest amount of time ~ smart girl J) and Bethany & Madison won the baby gift bingo! Since Bethany was the first to say “Baby”, she had to wear the fake baby belly ~ hilarious! We received so many thoughtful gifts – you are so lucky to have so many awesome aunts!
On Thanksgiving Day, we close to 30 guests to our house for Thanksgiving lunch. Your daddy deep-fried a Cajun turkey and grilled a rosemary one ~ so yummy! We had a TON of food and after lunch, the family threw us a mini-baby shower with more thoughtful baby necessities, including your high chair – I think the guests had been gone 30 minutes and your daddy already had it assembled! We are both getting very ready for your arrival! At midnight on Thanksgiving night, your daddy, Bethany, Jeremy, Madison, Alan & I piled in the Yukon and headed to Concord Mills mall for some early Black Friday shopping! (Yes, we are crazy!) We mainly went for the experience (like we have for the past 3 years) and didn’t really buy much. We were in bed around 2:30am and the girls were back up around 6:30 for more shopping J By best buy was your diaper bag – I got it at BabyGap for half price ~ $45 instead of $90! On Friday night, we headed to Salisbury for Thanksgiving at Mammaw & Pappaw Fisher’s – mmm more good food!
On November 29th, we had your 33 week appointment at Dr. Fulghum’s. Aunt Bethany went with us to this appointment and since she missed out on our 3D ultrasound, Fulghum did an ultrasound so she could get a glimpse at her niece! She said you had cute… eye sockets J – hahaha, 2D ultrasounds are so hard to read! I weighed 2 lbs less than I did at the previous appointment (when he said I needed to slow down on my weight gain) so he was happy to see that I had evened back out. Bethany & I went for a celebratory milkshake afterward, where I probably gained back those 2 lbs – hehe! We go back in 2 weeks on December 14th – about a month from your January 17th due date! Yikes!
Today is December 4th and your daddy and I were feeling spontaneous – we are currently on our way to Boone for the day to do some Christmas shopping in the snow! I absolutely LOVE this time of year and ADORE snow – just puts you in a happy mood! There is an Appalachian game today and it is opening day for all of the ski slopes – should be a busy day in Boone!
We are two days away from 34 weeks and 3 weeks from Christmas! Can’t wait to meet you little Miss Smith J
