Thanksgiving 2011

This is our last year as just Doug and I as next year the Twins will be here with us and we will become a family of 4.

But for this Thanksgiving we had a very busy and productive one.

Wednesday after work Doug and I headed to Sherwin Williams close to us and bought the paint and accessories for the nursery so we could get started on the room Then later that night I had to bowl league, Doug went with me like he always does. I actually bowled well for once and it started off as a good time.

Thursday morning Doug let me sleep in so he got up with Tanner (Dog) and let him out to go potty and then decided to start painting the room. I was woken up around 9 to him standing outside with no shirt on spraying the paint roller out with the hose. I was thinking are you nuts! But I immediately ran to the nursery to take a peek and Wow! The room was done and looked awesome.

After he was finished we showered and headed next door to the parents house for Thanksgiving lunch. Then we left and headed to my family's house for Thanksgiving dinner. I forgot to post my last Doctors appointment ultrasound, I will do that next with the few other posts that I need to add but at my last appointment I only gained another 3 pounds and the Doc was not happy so he told me to eat double to triple this weekend. I think I for sure did that and more. But guess what I weighed myself yesterday and didn't gain a pound but my sickness is back and that's not helping.

After we was all done eating we had Little Franklin's birthday he was born on the 25th. He opened presents and had cake.

Doug and I decided to leave as we was going to Toys R Us to start our shopping for the weekend. Toys R Us opened at 9 that night and we wanted to get a few toys for the kids to put away for their first Christmas next year, we are making it a big one. We get there about 8:50 and the line yeah wrapped around the building and almost to bed bath and beyond so we decided we would wait till the line moved. Finally it started moving so we headed that way to get in line we was parked a mile away. As we was headed that way a lady stopped us and says they are only letting 50 peps in at a time and you can order anything from the add online at that cost. So we said screw it lets go home get warm and order it all. Home we went to pick up Mom and Sue and head to the next stop Walmart.

When we got there they was already open, they opened at 10 and it was a mad house in there. But we shopped for about and hour and got everything we wanted. Finally time for home so we could get a nap in and head to shop more at 5 am.

Ringer goes off at 4:45 and we get up, pick Mom and Sue up and head to Babies R Us for the Baby furniture. This turned into a bid disaster several times so we said Screw it and lets go to Burlington. We wasn't there 20 Min's and purchased all the baby furniture. But we had one problem the truck was not big enough to hold it so we headed back home to get the trailer and back to the store to load it all up and head back home to unload so we could go back to Fairview for more shopping and lunch. This mad for a long day.

Finally after all the shopping this momma to be was wore out an headed home to go to bed. And when I say to bed I mean I slept 18 hours ( No Joke)!

Saturday morning I got up and did a few errands with my Mom while Doug put the cribs together.

Mom and I also went to the largest Craft Fair I have ever been to.

After we was all done I headed home and Wow! again the room was done except for decorations of course and I loved it. Pic of this to come on another post. Then the rest of the day was a lazy one for Doug and I loaded all the drawers with clothes and baby accessories. Now we just have to wait for all the shower items and items we purchase to add to the room. I cant wait for the final look.

Then I was also going to put up my tree and Christmas decorations but decided against that for 2 reasons. 1 the tree cant go up because we are getting hardwood floors put down in the next few weeks and the tree would be in the way, so there went that idea. And 2 for the decorations Doug brought up that when Christmas is over I will be over 8 months pregnant, close to possible bed rest and I am not going to want to put it all away so we decided to wait and put it all up next year for a big shindig for the twins for Christmas.

Now Yesterday I figured it was going to be a lazy day at home preparing to come back to work today but no of course not. Doug and I ran and did a little shopping at: target, Kohl's, walmart and Burlington. Then we headed over to the cousins house to make lumpia (Philippines food) and enjoy some family time. We left around 8 or so.

After we got home I got so sick and ended up getting sick and going to bed. Now here I am at work.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought about making a list of all I have to be thankful for this year. Somehow, it all revolves around my 2 men and my little lady.
A phenomenal husband who I am crazy in love with, and my two little ones Bryce and Lillyana who’s been cooking in my belly for 26 weeks. My heart is full, as my plate was all weekend!
