Happy Thanksgiving and Merry (early) Christmas!










Jared and I were in Appleton for Thanksgiving. We started the weekend by having Jared's family (11 adults + 2 babies) over for lasagna on Wednesday night. On Thursday, we enjoyed a yummy meal at his aunt's house. Jared then worked on Friday and Saturday at a friend's Christmas tree lot selling trees. This of course means that we also got a tree and put it up on Saturday night. Here are a few pictures.



Baby update: We had an appointment almost 2 weeks ago where we had another ultrasound to check on the baby's heart and size. The baby is still a little big, but was only in the 70th percentile. The fluid is still around the heart. The good thing is that fluid hasn't changed in size, but it's still there. So, we're going to see a periantologist (not sure if I spelled that correctly) at our next appointment. I think it's just a specialty doctor that really examines babies while they're in the womb. Our doctor still feels pretty sure that this is not going to be a big deal but feels that it should get a double check by the specialist. She also said that this doctor would then maybe decide what to do when the baby's born (possibly an echocardiogram or something to check that the heart is functioning properly). We feel pretty confident that this is not going to be a big deal (we even checked with our heart surgeon-neighbor and he seemed to think it wasn't anything to be worried about). The great thing is that we get to have another ultrasound! I love getting to see our baby. He/she was very active at the last appointment- kicking and flipping all over the place. I love it!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

p.s. did you notice? We got a new camera!!

21 Weeks!




I'm over the halfway hump! Here are some updated pics! Again, I apologize for the really poor quality. We're planning on buying ourselves an actual camera for Christmas. :)
