Pregnancy Update

I went to my 36 week doctors visit this morning.

I am 1 cm dialated. wahoo!

In two weeks from today, we will schedule my induction with the hospital for the following week. Until then, I guess there won't be anymore news unless I go into labor by myself...

THANKSGIVING

Beating the pie filling and taste-testing (she gets the multi tasking ability from her mom)
Nana and PaPa came bearing gifts. A huge frosty for the front yard- but seems to have made a home in my living room... Lil loved it! Thanks you guys!

This year, I held Thanksgiving at my house with my immediate family. I was an awful picture taker- I only have a few to share. My mom and dad and little brother arrived the evening before to start cooking and hang out. Rachel, Jason, and Paisley came the next morning. The menu consisted of:

4 Kinds of Appetizers

(mushroom turnovers/ crab cakes/spinach quiche/and brie)

1 Smoked Turkey

1 Glazed Ham

Mashed Idaho Potatoes/ Gravy

Mom's Famous Sweet Potato Balls

About 60 Green Bean Bundles

(Handrolled by Cordy)

Bread Stuffing

Southern Cornbread Stuffing

(my fav)

3 Dozen Homemade Rolls

(Preston Senior Citizens)

Fresh Farm Corn

no time or oven space for spoonbread :(

BeBe Pineapple Punch

1 Pumpkin Pie

1 Pecan Pie

1 French Silk Pie

1 Pumpkin Cheesecake

I want my family to know how thankful I am for them. Every single one of

you bring something into my life that I would miss not having you there.

i LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!

Trim and Paint and Carpet- Oh My!

Eric (Nate's hunting/fishing buddy) installing the carpet.
The basement is done! The basement has a HUGE family room, 2 bedrooms, 2 storage rooms, and a full bathroom. There still seems a lot of work to complete (organizing, cleaning, paint touch ups, etc.) but with all of Lilly's toys in one area, and a guest bedroom for nana and papa during babytime, I feel so relieved to have the extra space.

Megan's Boutique Carseat

I just cannot wait to bring the baby home in her new carseat.
I found a woman the makes these custom carseat covers and all the accessories on ebay. It is so plush and cozy!
