For your entertainment!

I know, second post in one day! I just had to share this with everyone. I'm sure many of you may have already heard of it, but it's called elfyourself.com. I made one with my mom, dad, kevin, jeremy and I as the elves! Take a look!

I thought it was pretty funny! You should make one too!

Entering the home stretch!

This morning I went to see my doctor and the appointment went very well! I have only gained 2 pounds since my last appointmet 2 weeks ago. I guess I did better than I thought over Thanksgiving! Christmas is coming though, so hopefully, I can be disciplined enough to not eat alot.

I also got my results back from my glucose test and I passed! My doctor told me that anything below 140 is normal and mine was 132! She actually told me that some people say anything below 130 is normal, so I'm glad she didn't go with those numbers or I would have to take another test!

Besides all that, the baby is measuring normal and everything is going very well with my pregnancy! I really thank God that he has allowed me to have such an easy pregnancy. Sometimes, I may think that my little back aches are the most aweful thing in the world at the time, but I truly have gotten by so easy! I'm just amazed all the time that God has allowed me to carry this life inside of me and give her the best possible home that we can!

Here are some updated pictures that I took last night of myself! I'm definetly getting bigger!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving has come and gone, but it was such a wonderful weekend! Jeremy and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year and we were so glad that we did. Everything turned out so nice and my first attempt at a turkey went very well! Jeremy and I also decorated the house some for Christmas! I love our tree that we have. We went with a red and gold theme (if you can't tell...haha). I absolutely love the holidays and I'm so glad that they are here!

Here are some pictures from the weekend!


This picture doesn't do my turkey justice, but it
did turn out very good! We just had some
trouble transfering it to the platter!



Jeremy and I in our kitcken. I just had to bring
out my apron! It doesn't quite fit like it used to
though!



I also made a pumpkin pie this year. I guess it
was a success also!



This is my "secret" recipe. Chocolate Banana Pudding!



This is our living room all decorated for Christmas!




I made these stockings last night! Very cheap craft!


Our very first Christmas Tree! We
had so much fun decorating it together!
Can't wait to put presents underneath!
