I don't know where to start...
Thanksgiving was..busy. I had a nervous emotional breakdown yesterday morning that my poor husband had to deal with--I'm blaming it on pregnancy hormones b/c I really wanted to stop crying but I just couldn't. That led to dinner at my grandparents...crazy, but actually saner that usual. After that, Mike brought me home and I took a nap (much needed). Then I went out to Andrea's so we could plan our shopping strategy... & off to Mike's grandma's to visit. What a busy day!
I got to bed about midnight--slept a whole hour total maybe and was up at 2:30 to shop. CRAZY! After the mall and Wal-Mart, mom and I were getting discouraged with other people's attitudes and the insane crowds, but then we went to Menards and had a GREAT time! We laughed with other people, the workers were plentiful and helpful and we really had fun. That relaxed things a bit. Wal-Mart was just absolutely insane and almost a little dangerous--I heard about the worker who died in New-York just a little while ago and the sad thing is I can totally see how that would happen.
Anyhow, I walked all day & was sure I'd induce my own labor, but no such luck yet! I've still got my fingers crossed--I'm tired of being pregnant, being uncomfortable, and having swollen ankles. I'm trying not to be whiny but I'm just feeling really ready. I'm tired of answering, "when are you due?," what are you having?," questions. I know people mean well, but its just getting exhausting. Today, at our 2nd Wal-Mart stop, I felt my ankle literally explode--they are so swollen that I'm literally blowing blood vessels. They burn so bad--I know its because I was on them all day but ekk... 
Okay, enough of that talk...I did get a lot of Christmas shopping done & wrapped and for that I am grateful. The baby was pretty cooperative when we shopped and I only had minor contractual pains as I walked & so for that I'm also thankful. Lastly, I'm thankful for the mom and great sisters I got to spend the day with...I forgot how much fun we have every year! Here's hoping your Turkey Day & Black Friday were as lovely as mine...God bless you!
presents under the tree--all wrapped up! yay! 'tis the season!

i remember those last days of pregnancy and how you feel. i just wanted to pop someone in the mouth when they would say "you are still pregnant" or "no baby yet". What the heck does it look like, heck yes i still have a baby in me and no, i haven't had it yet. UGH!! do they honestly think you have had it and are out and about without it and your stomach is still just as big as it was the last time they saw you. PEOPLE!
but on a better note.... i am very excited to meet this new little one:)
Oh Jenn, I'm so sorry! That ankle looks terrible! I think you are just too much of an overachiever! The presents don't HAVE to be wrapped and under the tree already, you know! :) Saying a prayer right now for you and baby and the Lord's timing.
