Still here and doing well!

I’ve been really busy at work that past couple of weeks, so I haven’t had much time to update.  I’m doing really well and feeling great!  My MIL is here visiting for the week, it’s been so nice to see her and catch up.  She and my Dad have become pretty good friends, so my Dad is going to drive over on Saturday to go to dinner with us.  It should be a lot of fun.  I have told work about being pregnant, and it’s a good thing too, I think I’m starting to show a little.  It’s not much, really if you didn’t know I was pregnant, you would just think I was a little chubby in the tummy area!  But now that work knows I’m getting some comments from some of the girls that they can see a little something.  It doesn’t bother me, they are being nice about it, and I mean come on, I’m only going to get bigger!  I ordered some maternity pants online at Old Navy yesterday.  I’m rather tall (5’9”) so I have a pretty hard time finding pants long enough to fit.  These were on sale so I thought I would give them a try.  I hope I like them.  I really need another couple pairs of pants for work so I’m looking around.

I’m getting really excited about Thanksgiving.  We usually go to my Grandma’s in Palm Springs for the holiday.  It’s a lot of fun, the weather is great so we get to eat outside by the pool.  Kind of non-traditional I guess, but is sure is nice to be warm and sunny!  We’re leaving super early Wednesday morning and driving down (it’s about a 6 hour drive).  I’m a little nervous how Lucy will do in the car that long.  We’ve only taken her on short car rides to the vet and stuff and those haven’t really gone so great.  She wiggles around a lot, but if we put her in her crate for the drive she cries the whole time.  Hopefully we’re leaving early enough that we can put her in the crate for the first part of the drive and she’ll sleep.  We’ll see! 

So that’s about it.  I’m so excited that it’s the holiday’s and am ready to start decorating and shopping.  I think once we get back from our Thanksgiving trip I’ll have time to start getting ready for Christmas.  This will be our first Christmas in our new house and I’m excited to decorate it!!
