Happy Thanksgiving

 
I hope that everyone had a wonderful day.
I hope that you all spent time with your families and ate way too much food!
 
I didn't hardly turn my computer on at all since last Wednesday.  I didn't do a ton of Black Friday shopping online as I had intended.  I didn't blog at all which means I didn't get to read any of your lovely blogs.  I have a lot of catching up to do!
 
I spent the time with my family.  Thanksgiving Day was spent with some of my Dad's side of the family and the rest of the time was just my little angel and I.  My husband was mixed in there occasionally as well but he had to work most of the weekend.
 
We laughed and played all weekend.  Daddy taught Baby Girl how to drink from a straw on Sunday.  He was so proud.  She learned a whole bunch of new words (I Love is my favorite) and has come even closer to walking on her own.  We did a little holiday shopping and put our Christmas decorations out.  We had such a fun little weekend.
 
Oh, and I went and saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 on Sunday.  A.MAZ.ING!  I may even write a post about it, spoilers included.

We had just gotten there and the shoes were already off!

We had a great weekend and I wish we had more like them.  I'm in full Christmas shopping mode now and I can't wait to get it all finished.  More posts to come!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purcha...
