Happy Belated Turkey Day!

This past Thanksgiving I had a lot to be thankful for. My husband, my son, Baby (hopefully) growing well in my belly, and of course the rest of our family. Most importantly though, is my brother, Kevin. He's currently serving with the Marines in Iraq and although he wasn't able to be here for Thanksgiving *insert many tears*, we knew he was safe and that's what matters. We are forever grateful that his job assignment over there keeps him on base and not out on the streets. So Kevin if you ever get a chance of reading my blog, just know you're thought of by all of us everyday and we can't wait to have you home!!! Christmas sure won't be the same without you here.

In pregnancy news, not much to report. I am feeling Baby in there, still just those bubbly-type feelings. Just enough movement to make me think "hmmmm... is there really a baby moving around in there?" Morning/evening sickness is still gone, so I think I'm over that hurdle. Last night I had the most horrible migraine ever. I had to call my inlaws and have them wait to bring Colin home until Scott was home because I could barely function. I fell into bed as soon as I got home and spent my entire evening laying in bed, lights off, attempting to listen to the TV with my head buried under the covers until I fell asleep around 9pm. Not fun.

And Colin is as cute as ever. This past weekend we had very unusual weather here in Michigan for this time of year, it was sunny and about 60 degrees. So we decided to make the most of it and put up our Christmas decorations, and many of our neighbors did the same. The couple across the street put on their lawn an inflatable Santa (or "Danta" as Colin says) that goes in and out of a chimney. At first, Colin stopped to watch it go in and out of the chimney for about 15min straight. Everytime Santa went into the chimney, he had to wave, say "bye-bye", and blow "Danta" a kiss. Then he'd ask "where'd he go" as he shrugged his shoulders. And everytime Santa came out of the chimney he'd smile and yell "Danta"! Seriously, it was the cutest thing ever. I sure do love my little Butter Bean ;)

Apparently last Wednesday I was tagged by Amy. And of course the clueless blogger I am just realized it. Oops! My assignment is to tell you five things that you don't already know about me. If you are a close friend of mine, these statements probably won't be a shock to you...

1) When my first serious boyfriend dumped me, I got a tattoo. When my 2nd serious boyfriend dumped me I got my tongue pierced. All I gotta say is that Scott better not leave me! LOL

2) I really wanted to go to Yale. I was obsessed with going there when I was growing up and I still wonder to this day why I never applied.

3) I eat pizza with nothing on it, not even the cheese. But I do eat the cheese separately, so it doesn't go to waste ;)

4) I would love to be a celebrity for a day, just to know what it feels like.

5) I regret not BFing Colin, and hope I'm more prepared the 2nd time around to make it work.
