Feeling Giddy!

Had a nice long weekend off with family and friends. Spent some time with my cousins and Aunt Roberta on Thanksgiving. My Uncle Keith, and godfather, passed away last week after a 7 month battle with cancer. It was good to be together and have some time to reflect. My heart goes out to them all during this difficult time.

Had breakfast with my Favorite Forie family on Thanksgiving morning. Heard that Jill got a funky onesie for "Future Forie" and am excited to see it : ) Headed over to my Aunt Jeanne's and saw most of them for the first time since my announcement. The belly was feeling kinda big and stretched, probably from the eating that had already begun! It was great to see everyone and chat about baby things. Also saw Mr.Connor over Thanksgiving and was so excited to see how big he got! Love when he says, "Open This"in a gentle, will someone help me kind of way! Always love seeing Jeanette and Dan and already can't wait until Christmas to hang again.

Spent the rest of the weekend drinking peppermint hot chocolate and shopping for baby things with Christian : ) I'll admit that we went to Buy Buy Baby two days straight and did hours of browsing. It was alot of fun and we finally started registering for the "nitty gritty" things. Its so hard to imagine what we will need, but we had a few lists in hand to keep us focused. Actually glad we are getting neutral colors so when "Baby #2" comes, we can use it all no matter what the sex is. Went home after each trip and redid alot online. Have to have Jeanette and Lauren look it over and give me the "needs and don't needs" of what I picked out. Excited to get the furniture into the room so we can start putting things in drawers and organizing. Got a few things from Anna that are adorable, so I want to start my "ooooo-ing" while folding clothes! We are also psyched bc we found a great deal on the stroller that we wanted. It will be both the infant and toddler stroller, so that is a big help.

Have had alot of kicking and bumps the past few days! Was able to see my belly bump last night from the outside. Christian has felt a lot more bumps but still hasn't seen the belly move. Can't wait for our big sonogram tomorrow. Haven't seen the baby in a while so it is going to look soooo different! Will definitely write and fill you in : )
