Anyhoo, I'm officially 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant. And I feel every minute of it and then some. This past week has been pretty rough on me physically. I was having lots of contractions last week but they were inconsistent and then they just went away. Then I started getting shooting pains on the left side of my butt. I believe it's from him sitting right on a nerve that causes the shooting pain. The major swelling started this past weekend too. My feet were so swollen last night that my ankle was actually wider than my foot.... hot, I know! I woke up last night and my left hand had felt like it had fallen asleep. It was tingling and quite frankly pretty painful. I've been dealing with pregnancy related carpel tunnel for the past 6 weeks or so, but this took it to another level so I was actually a little nervous about it. I can handle aches and pains, but I get worried about what it all means for my health or the health of the baby. Luckily I have my Doctor's appt today so she can tell me like it is and help me stop worrying.
So after all the griping, how about a Thanksgiving recap! :)
I lurrrvvveee me some Thanksgiving! Fall is my favorite season and Thanksgiving is the most fall-icious day of the year in my opinion so I'm all about it. This year we went to my parent's house like we've been doing for the past few years. Farrah is the only kid in the family, so it's interesting trying to entertain her. Luckily my kid is very food motivated so Thanksgiving is a good fit for her. I made my pumpkin cake because it was requested by my aunts and then I tried a new corn side dish that was amazing! Thank you pinterest! Then my dad did most of the rest of the cooking. Their kitchen is a little limited on work space and my dad gets easily stressed which never works out for the holidays so I offered up my house for Christmas this year. It's a pretty good house for entertaining. And quite frankly, I'd rather have it at my house this year than have to pack up all the newborn stuff and head to someone else's house. So hopefully that works out.
We also celebrated Farrah's birthday this weekend even though her actual birthday isn't until Dec. 3rd. Didn't want to risk baby dos crashing her party. It went really well but I'll hold off on details and pics until the next post. I have more pictures to upload.
I realized I hadn't taken any pictures the entire day on Thanksgiving so when we were about to leave, I forced my sister to attempt to take some pictures of us. Farrah has been making picture taking difficult. She makes ridiculous faces everytime. So the following sequence of pictures were our best attempt. There were actually many more that were worse than this believe it or not. And if you're wondering what that purple thing is on her head, it's her headband that she made that I can't seem to separate her from. She loves that thing! We get interesting stares from people probably wondering where I would buy such a thing.
