Happy Thanksgiving: There isn't a better day to be pregnant!

Happy Thanksgiving. Gabe is gearing up to eat turkey, redskin potatoes, squash, corn, wheat rolls, salad, and stuffing. He's going to top it all off with cheesecake because Dad doesn't like pumpkin pie. Good thing Cheesecake is Mom's absolute favorite food.

Thanksgiving is a bit lonely because Sean is outside mulching, so I'm in the house alone cooking. I miss having family around! Moose and Butters are keeping me plenty of company, or just waiting for some of the food to fall, probably, but either way, they are here, and I get to feel Gabe wiggle around inside of me. I just remember how much I have to be thankful for. Many of the people that I love aren't here, but at least I am blessed with SOOOOO many wonderful people that I love. M heart could never be lonely.

Exciting things are coming up! Next Thursday, my wonderful boss, and a very sweet co-worker and friend are having a shower for me at the writing center with all my TAMU-C friends! It was so sweet of them to offer. I wasn't expecting it at all. I'm so excited.

On December 27th, my Mom is having my shower in MI, which you already know all about, and I'm SOOOO excited for that. It is going to be a blast!

Then, sometime late in February or early March, Christi and the CFC church are having another shower for us, and Sean is having a joint diaper party with Kevin in December. I'm very excited. The shower is going to be so fun. I love everyone in my church so much.

We go in for our long, anatomy sonogram on December 9th, so I'll have a new sonogram pic to bring home!

Sean and I are going out shopping for Black Friday. We need a video camera desperately so we can catch Gabe and all his cuteness and post videos. Walmart has a fairly good deal on one.

For Christmas, Sean and I are staying at the Hilton by the DFW airport. Mom bought me a maternity bathing suit so I can go swimming in their huge indoor pool. We're very excited. It's a nice hotel, and it will be good to have a mini-vaca with Sean! We always have so much fun together. Don't worry, we'll celebrate with the puppies the night before. They'll get their bones. Speaking of Christmas, we're putting up our decorations this weekend as well.

I posted 5 month (20 week pics) if you want to check them out.

We love you guys! We are thankful for you. Keep Mr. Gabriel in your prayers! Have a Happy Thanksgiving. Eat like me.
