Thanksgiving

We had a pretty good Thanksgiving. I was planning on writing about it when I got home last night but that did not happen. I was way to sleepy. My NST went really quick, so that was nice. I woke up at 7am and called Labor and Delivery since my Doctor said I had to go in for the NST no exceptions at all. They told me they would expect to see me at 9:30 am. we were home by 10:15am. Elijah actually stayed on the monitor and did his thing for them quickly. That made it so great!

We got home and I finished up my cooking, and my hair and make-up. We left for the Ogburn's and got there at about 3. Dinner was yummy, and all my dishes turned out super well! I was very proud since I made it all myself, and did it from scratch! Yay me! Even my cheesecake was yummy! GO ME!! We didn't get home until 10 pm though, so I went right to bed, and crashed.

Today was fun/alright. We've been eating some yummy left overs though. Nate and I also got a great box from Ohio. Apparently there is a group in Ohio that supports their home town soldiers. One of my friends and his wife added Nathan and I to the list. Today we got a big ole' box from them today. It was perfect, and really brightened our day!! It was jammed packed with all kinds of amazing (And helpful) things. Lots of goodies to snack on, lots of hygiene and household things. As an added gift to us, Cory and his wife (Jamie) added a huge diaper bag and some wipes to our box just for Elijah. I love the diaper bag and it honestly made my day!! Its so big, and roomy. I packed it all up for our hospital trip. Now I just need the munchkin!!

I went for a walk today, that was terrible. My feet are so swollen at this point that even my loosest shoes don't fit anymore. I tried to do it anyway. Needless to say, I got the biggest blister of my life and it literally rubbed the whole back of my heel off. I didn't make it all the way home, and sent Nathan a text saying "Come get me, I can't make it"...... He rushed to pick me up. He helped me wash it, get neosporine on it, and bandage it. Its so big and nasty that I had to get out gauze and wrap. Washing it was terribly painful too. So note to self..... Pregnancy makes your feet huge and unbearable. Although I should have seen that coming, because today I was walking by the Christmas tree and an ornament hook shot straight into my toe. I had to yank that back out, so clearly my feet are cursed for the day!!

We cleaned out the goldfish tank today, and moved it to Elijah's room. Tomorrow my goal is to scrub the turtle tank (Don't worry, Nate is doing all the hard labor) because the nasty algae is driving my insane!!

I took Amanda some food today, and since I was there I let her dogs out. As I was leaving her house, I pulled out of her spot and someone tried to take her parking spot. I guess you could say that my Pregnancy Hormones are getting the best of me because I cursed them out for taking parking spaces that were not theirs, and how rude/blind do you have to be to park in something that clearly says "3" when you are no were near going to apartment #3. Wow it was bad/funny.

Anyway, We tried to make as many phone calls as we could last night and yesterday. So if we missed you we are sorry but we got so busy, So sorry!!
