Happy Thanksgiving!

Circumference of belly:  41 1/2 in.
Best moment this week:  I have a couple this week.  First we had our 7 month appointment.  I had my glucose test which was not as bad as what I thought.  I had to drink 10 oz of what tasted like sugary orange Gatorade.  Then they took my blood to check for Gestational Diabetes.  I am praying I pass so I don't have to do the 3 hour test.  Alexander also had a heartbeat of 156 bpm (The sugar from the drink really hyped him up)  Overall our doctor said everything was looking great.  Second, an older employee at Home Depot asked when I was due.  He then asked for my name so he could put me on his prayer list. I seriously got the best warm fuzzies =)
Worst moment this week:  Nothing!  I have decorated the house for Christmas, rested, enjoyed time with family and friends.  
Funniest moment this week:  Watching Alexander move the other morning was pretty funny.  I know I mentioned this last week too but it seriously makes me laugh.  It cracks me up how my stomach can move in two different directions at the same time lol.        
Miss anything:  Oatmeal...I ran out this week and refuse to go to the store and battle with crowds for a can of oatmeal.     
Movement:  Doctor told me to start kick counts this week...which isn't too hard because Alexander is quite the mover.  I am supposed to feel him at least 10 times in an hour.  Lately it has been 10 times in about 15 minutes, especially after I am done eating.
Sleep:  It has been so nice sleeping in this week.  I am enjoying it while I can.
Food cravings:  Thanksgiving foods...gee I wonder why...    
Anything making you queasy or sick:  No
Baby purchases:  We got our baby mobile from Target the other day.  I love it!  I can picture Alex laying on his back just staring at it and listening to the sweet sounds of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".  
Symptoms:  Dry skin still...my knuckles look awful.    
Belly button in or out:  No change.  
Wedding rings on or off:  On
Looking forward to:  Less than 5 weeks until Christmas!  Christmas and Thanksgiving are my two favorite times of the year.  I love the music, food, decorations, TV specials, and everything else that comes with the holidays.




"Skip Hop Treetop Friends" Mobile from Target...seriously adorable.
