Give Thanks Book


Is it true that virgos always need to be doing something? I function so much better if I have a project. If I'm not busy enough I always say that my brain is warping. I don't know exactly what I mean by that, but I just know that I like to do projects! There was a way cute one on Good Things Utah the other day for a Thanksgiving book where people write what they are thankful for, and then you take their picture and put it next to their card that says what they are thankful for. It's a cute easy way to preserve memories and remember this year's Thanksgiving.


We're spending Thanksgiving in Park City with Greg's family, so I'm excited to have everyone write in the book. I might post what people write on the side of my blog, too, like Jelina's friends. Stopping to actually think about and record what you are thankful for is always such a pick-me-up. To end this post: I am thankful for craft projects and the anticipation of a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    Yes, I think the virgo project thing must be true, which could be why we're both that way.

    Very cute book! I might have to do something like this for Thanksgiving. It's going to be an interesting one. At my mom's with Barney's kids (at least Cory and Sundee). I feel bad because I got an email from Mercedes asking about Thanksgiving today. We have never celebrated Thanksgiving with that side of the family on Thanksgiving - always a week before or after - so I didn't even know she was thinking of doing it. Somehow I never know what's going on. So we're going to my mom's, but I guess we were expected at Mercedes' too. Too bad one's at 4 and one's at 5 or we could try to do both. We might try to hit the end of the Uboldi one if timing works out, but with a 30-40 minute drive, it makes it kind of hard. Sorry, rambling on the comment page. Just thought I'd let you know about our Thanksgiving plans. But I do think a book would be fun for both families even if we don't do it on Thanksgiving with Marcos' family.

    Any new thoughts on Christmas craft presents? I guess it's time to get serious about planning now.

    I love my pal Lisy because she makes cute stuff like this. I love her because she is unique and fun. I love her because she has a mind of her own (even though our minds duke it out sometimes ;-) I love her because she always wants to be with me. I love her because she plans ahead. I love her because she is a hard worker and extremely intelligent. I love her because she has followed me everywhere with rarely a word of complaint. I love her because she loves me even though I can be a moron. I love her name. I love her because she will be an excellent Mom. Among other things.
    Loves Pa.

    That ending's supposed to say "Loves Pal!"

    Oh my word! What a sweet husband I have. Thank you, Pal! That was so meaningful to me!

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
