Kyle and I FINALLY got some time off together this week and were able to go to Colorado Springs to spend some time with family. We both have to work on Thanksgiving, so we decided to do an early Thanksgiving with my parents and go down for my little brother's "Sweet 16".... and my mom threw me my first baby shower! Busy busy busy weekend!! We had a lot of fun bowling for my brother's birthday, playing games with the family, watching movies and relaxing. The baby shower was fantastic, and I got to see a lot of neighbors and family friends. I even got to reconnect with a "long lost friend" from high school that I haven't seen in 9 years.... so much fun!!!

This Thanksgiving week marks the end of our little one's 27th week... 7 months here we come! Time has gone by so fast I just know that he or she will be here before we know it! The baby moves all the time now, and has started it's ritual of keeping mom up at night, something that will continue for awhile I am sure! I am feeling really good, just starting to get more and more tired as I get more and more uncomfortable. I am finally starting to be noticeably and definitely pregnant (YAY!!), and I no longer have to try to convince people how far along I am, though I still get a lot of worried looks and "You are so small!" reactions. If that is your reaction to the pictures as well, be assured that my doctor is not worried at all and the baby is doing wonderfully! My belly measurements are perfectly normal for now!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, more to come later! Thank you again to my mother for the fantastic baby shower!

Love, Baby & Me
