Update on Baby!


Yay!! Mom is 26 weeks, and baby is growing fast! This pregnancy has not been easy, let me tell you. Dad was gone to India for 2 weeks for work, which left Ali and I in charge of the entire house. Sheesh! He's beack now, but there is still plenty to do. Ali and I trade off doing dishes and dinners.
When Becky was pregnant with Brett, she had the same problem she is having now. She can't breathe. The baby sits too high up, and press's on her lungs. She has the choice of either eating, or breathing. As you can guess, she chooses breathing. She was already super skinny before this pregnancy, and now she is almost literally skin and bones! On good days she can tip the scale almost to 100 lb.s, but that's only on good days. On the bright side, because there is no fat, you can feel our little guy kicking and moving all around. Nothing makes us happier than putting our hands on her stomach and feeling how strong he is! I hope he calms down a little after he's born, because on some days he is crazy, and almost bouncing off the walls! ;) We are SO excited to meet him in person. We already have 4 boxes of adorable baby clothes, a graco, a crib, diaper bags, blankets, baby shoes, baby swing, rattles, car seats and much more! (Who knew a single baby needed so many things!) Needless to say, we can not WAIT to finally meet him.

Thanksgiving







Thanksgiving was a very fun event. Mom stayed back home because she didn't feel good enough to spend and entire weekend in -1 degrees. Ali and I went up Wednesday and played in the snow with the cousins all day, and then Brett and Dad came up Thursday (Thanksgiving). Wednesday night I was sick with a fever and cold, but I was semi better by Thursday.

Sad Story: So, the water froze Wed. night, and so Thursday we had no water. We had to walk about a 1\2 mile to the cabins near by, to get water. It wasn't very fun (especially because I was still kind of sick) but, it definitely made us realize how grateful we are for water!

Our Thanksgiving meal was delicious!! We all ate on paper plates because their was no water to wash dishes with after. Next year maybe we will get to eat on real plates. ;)


Almost all of us before digging in!
