We were able to be with my mom and dad for Thanksgiving this year. Of course we ate a lot of yummy food and ate way too much pie! While we were there we helped my mom and dad put their lights up, my Dad and Mike played computer games and my Mom helped me out a lot with several different crafts that I needed to start and finish. I even got Mike to work on one of the crafts that is going to be a gift for his parents which I will post on here after Christmas.
We also took advantage of the early morning black Friday shopping and even got my MOM to go with us!! I thought it was fun but I don’t think we are going to get my Mom to go again next year. We found some great deals at several different stores and got really lucky with a few of them because people changed their minds. Most of it is going to get wrapped up and put under our Christmas tree so it feels like Christmas this year without the surprise! That day was very exhausting, especially with the extra weight that I was carrying around. By the way, people don’t treat pregnant girls different in Walmart at five in the morning then anyone else. I was kind of hoping that the extra large belly would help me get to where I wanted too!
On Tuesday, I have another ultrasound to figure out why I’m measuring two weeks larger than I should be. My doctor thinks that I have too much amniotic fluid or our little guy is growing bigger then he should be. (Not surprising looking at the genes he has inherited!) If he does measure too big they might move up my due date and I would have to be induced to reduce complications because of his size. I’m not complaining about having our little guy come sooner than we expected! If it is just the fluid level there isn’t anything that they can do right now but it is good for them to know during labor. (At least that is what we understand about the situation right now.) Hopefully they will give us some more pictures!
