30 Days of Thanks

My Facebook posts for the month of November:

11/1 Thankful for 5 months of a healthy, uneventful pregnancy
11/2 Thankful for the beautiful fall weather and impending cold front- puts a little spring into everyone's step!
11/3 Very thankful that my husband's dog, Re, came home overnight last night- he'd been gone for 4 days and Scott was beside himself- it was so sad!
11/4 Excited for a weekend road trip with my husband, even if I have CE most of the weekend. At least we'll have some good windshield time and Scott will have some down time.
11/5 (no computer access yesterday) Thankful for best friends that know just how to say what you need to hear.
11/6 Thankful for loving family and getting to spend precious time with them
11/7 Thankful for my husband, for more reasons than I can list
11/8 Thankful for the rain and thunderstorm I woke up to this morning, and thankful that Scott didn't get electrocuted!
11/9 Thankful for my church family, from the little ones that serve as constant reminders of innocence, to my young adult class in the midst of all this mess with me, to the wiser set that is there to be our living examples.

11/11 Thankful to live in a country that is protected by free men and women that willingly defend our borders and freedom

11/15 Thankful for the convenience of grocery stores and restaurants
11/16 Thankful that my baby boy (and I) are right on track and healthy!
11/17 Thankful for my job, even though it sometimes requires me to be hot or cold, gross & smelly, and work long, thankless hours, at least I have a way to earn an income for my family.

11/28 Thankful to still be well enough and mobile enough to work without waddling.
11/29 Thankful for a great report for my friend from her doctor- what an answered prayer!!
11/30 When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul!

Already?

It's hard to believe that it's almost time for Thanksgiving. Time is really flying around here!

Not much new to report. Things are just moving right along at a spinning pace. We are still looking for a house, and may have found one, just waiting on some more info about it before we decide to make an offer.
Scott's cousin Holly got married last weekend- so that was the big family affair for the year.

I had a Baby Doc appointment on Wednesday. Everything is progressing well. My belly is measuring correctly, my blood pressure and weight are on track, and the heartbeat was nice and strong. I have my next appointment in 4 week and then we'll start every 2 weeks. It's hard to believe that I'm this close to being in my 3rd trimester. It's amazing how quickly time has passed. I still feel great and have lots of energy, most of the time. It's getting much harder to get comfortable to sleep and sometimes sit. I can't eat as much at a time, which is unfortunate, seeing as how I'm hungry all the time. Bending over is another obstacle, unless I'm wearing maternity pants. Oh, and my feet are starting to swell, especially if I sit for too long or am on my feet for hours at a time. Usually, it's not really apparent on my feet, but I have a crazy indention on my ankles from my socks. All in all, it's been a rather un-eventful pregnancy, which is a major blessing.

That's really it for now. No news is always good news!
