Feeling TONS of movement lately!!! Totally exciting. Ben hasn't been able to feel her move yet, but I think it will happen soon. I love feeling the little flips and stuff going on in there... actually feeling some pretty big kicks at the moment! Almost to the 5-month mark. With the Holidays right around the corner, I know the remainder of the pregnancy is just going to FLY by. March will be here before we know it.
Ben's Grandma got us this adorable gift set for our baby with a couple of outfits, blankets, bottles, a med dispenser, and a little bear :) SO cute... and receiving gifts for her are making it more and more real!
This past weekend Ben and I went to our cabin in the U.P. with my parents and some friends from church, Gene and Sue. The guys were outside working on blinds and getting ready for hunting most of the time. Honestly, I stayed inside and sat on the coach most of the time :) It was nice to have a weekend with absolutely nothing to do. We watched a couple of movies and took some naps. Much needed. Before we left, my parent's dog Pudge decided to devour a bunch of chocolate syrup that was left over from bear bait. There were also 9 dead mice in the bucket, but he left those thankfully. He was running around for quite awhile before we left, so we had hoped that he puked it all out before we started the truck ride home. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Ben and I were sitting in the back seat (crammed in) with the two dogs. I was feeling slightly light-headed and just wanted to get home and out of that truck... right around when we were in Mancelona, Pudge unleashed about a gallon of chocolate syrup right next to me in the seat. I just about lost it. I grabbed a coat and buried my face in it. I kept gagging pretty bad and I was pretty much laying on Ben trying to get away from it. My Dad pulled over and came to clean it up and he started gagging too, which made me laugh... and Ben was laughing pretty much this entire time. So we got to ride home the rest of the way with a truck smelling like yaked up chocolate syrup. Kind of nasty... kind of funny. I hope I'm able to clean up kid puke without puking myself!
This weekend, we are heading to Kentucky to visit Ben's Grandparents. His Grandpa hasn't been doing well and has been asking to see everyone. It should be a nice trip for us. His whole family plus some aunts, uncles and cousins are coming as well. It will definitely be a full-house! Some warmer weather for a few days will also be much welcomed :)
I am SO excited for Christmas already. I would probably put up decorations today if Ben would let me :) I think we're going to get a fake tree this year... We had a real one last year and had pine needles in our carpet for EVER and the tree was already getting brown by Christmas. I've always had real ones... but I guess I can go for awhile using a fake one. Less work too I suppose. I'm thinking I should probably start shopping too... I'm going to try to do most of it online this year so I don't have to fight the crowds. Love amazon.com!
Thankful for our wonderful family and so much more...
