Not much to report today as we had a very low-key weekend. I'm getting my butt kicked by the morning sickness so Adam and Gray kindly obliged my request to stay in our pajamas the entire weekend. We cooked and ate and played and bundled up by the fire and I have to admit, it was really nice....even if we didn't do anything productive. But today, we're back at work and school and missing our cozy little quarters. The good news is that it's a short week and we're really looking forward to Thanksgiving, which will be at the Pattersons' house this year. We are bringing the sweet potato casserole, my specialty, but I'm also going to try my hand at my Dad's famous cornbread and andouille dressing to keep around the house to eat with the leftover turkey. You see, Thanksgiving just isn't Thanksgiving without it and since I'm eating for two these days, I can do whatever I want--even if that means eating a whole 9x13 pan of dressing. I assure you that Adam won't dare utter a word about it. He's a smart man who loves me very much and I think he kind of secretly adores the fact that I eat like a teenage boy when I'm pregnant...at least when I'm not throwing up that is. So, we'll see how the recipe turns out and hope that it agrees with the baby.
Tomorrow is our second ultrasound and we should finally know a better due date and age of our little bug. For my sake, I'm hoping I'm further along than they originally thought which would mean that I'm closer to the end of the morning sickness. But we shall see! Poor Adam is going to have to miss his company's annual Thanksgiving feast so that he can be there, but i know he wouldn't miss it for the world. Hopefully we'll hear the heartbeat too! I'll keep you posted and maybe even share some pics if we get some good ones.
Guess that's all for now. Wish me luck tomorrow!
By the way, for those of you who voted on Gray's new table and chairs set, here's a pic of him using and loving it! Thanks P and Pop!
