So much to be Thankful for!





This past weekend Baker and I were in NC for Thanksgiving and for 2 baby showers. We have so much to be Thankful for! It was great to see and spend time with our family, so see the BEAUTIFUL North Carolina Fall colors that we miss so much, and we were treated to two very generous baby showers while we were there! On Friday night, we had a shower at my Aunt Claudia's house given by the Owen/Hicks family. It was so much fun and Owen got some GREAT things! The next morning, we headed to Raleigh were some of my very best friends (2 which are also pregnant, I might add) hosted a great shower at Maridith's house. Again, we had so much fun! It was great to see everyone again and to compare pregnancy stories (and sizes). You should have seen us at the airport Sunday morning with 3 HUGE suitcases, 1 large box and bags to carry-on the plane. We looked like the modern day Clampids! We were overwhelmed at the love and generosity of our family and friends!

As for a baby update- I saw that doctor last Monday for a check-up and everything is great! I am still measuring almost 2 weeks ahead but the doctor still will not change the due date. Owen is so active! He is so long now that when he gets into certain positions, I can feel his head or his bottom bulging out of my belly. He is still able to flip around at times and he uses the top of my stomach as a backboard for big flips! He also starts moving every morning (like clockwork) when the alarm goes off...making sure I get up on time! We are getting lots of baby gifts so it makes it even more fun preparing for his arrival! Just about 12 weeks to go!!
