December Blessings

As of Friday, I am now 36 weeks pregnant. 9 months! Thank you Jesus for getting our little baby this far and for keeping her healthy! In 25 days, she is due! We will see if she comes on her due date, or before or after!

This past week was Thanksgiving and we had it at our house. I cooked my first turkey, with Jesse's help, and it turned out really good! It truly made us feel like grown ups to cook dinner at our house, and it was all together such a great time with our families here! And as always, there was a lot of food left over, and it stayed here! Woo Hoo! Left over apple and pumpkin pie!

On December 6, we have our next ultrasound to check on Ella and how she's growing. I have been horrible this past week with my eating habits, so I'm sure that hasn't helped. Tomorrow Jesse and I are going to go to our gym and work out. When I say work out for this 9 month pregnant lady, its like walking for ten minutes, which is all I can handle right now with this heavy load I'm carrying and my sore lower back!

I'm looking forward to being able to get back in to shape and go back to my normal size after Ella is born.

Christmas is coming soon, and I have started trying to figure out an alternative to buying presents, being that I am not working and there isn't any money to buy presents. Plus we are having a baby...so I have some ideas to get me started!

I love this time of year, especially this year because it, well, it's Christmas, I married the man of my dreams December 13, and we are having our first child December 24. Thank you Jesus for all these December blessings! You are so good to me!
