Giving Thanks

Since I didn't take any pictures of Thanksgiving day :( I wanted to do 30 things I am thankful for...
But first I want to share what Brodee and I did for Thanksgiving this year. It was a little different than last year, but overall it was still pretty fun with lots of food, and leftovers! This year we had a "feast" with a few different families in which we are all related someway...Brodee and I, my parents with Holly and Jordan, Carl and Loralee's family, Eric and Kathy's family, Austin and Lindsay's family, Clint Udy's family, and grandma Kempton all gathered at the high school this year for thanksgiving dinner. Everyone was in charge of bringing something and it actually turned out better than I thought. It was fun to have people to share the holiday with, especially people that you like:) After dinner, Loralee, Bonnie, and I went up to the annual Elba craft fair. My mom and Kathy were already up there. I bought lots of cool things which I decorated my house for the holidays :)

21 weeks and It's gonna be a....Girl :)

I am about the slowest when it comes to updating but after 18 weeks, we had an ultrasound and what it told us was that every thing is developing just perfectly, there are no problems, and its a girl :) we couldn't be more excited!! She was the cutest little thing from what you could tell by looking at the screen ha those things are so complicated to look at and understand so you can imagine I was asking lots of questions :) but after all was said and done and a few pictures later...this little girl is precious! I can't wait to meet her.
I have check ups every four weeks and she is still moving around and healthy. My belly is starting to show but not too much however it's kinda weird watching it change ha I guess I'm not used to that part yet. Everything is going great, just mainly tired, but I can't complain because its been a really good pregnancy :)
