Thanksgiving-40 weeks

I know bare pregnant stomachs are kind of gross looking, but I wanted to capture just how big my tummy is!! Today is my due date November 27, Thanksgiving Day, and still no Cheyenne.  I have been feeling really good (until I stuffed myself today and now I am having a hard time breathing).  Tomorrow will be my last day of work at the bank, and then if I haven't had it, Monday night I will go in to the hospital at 7 pm to be induced.  They will give me cervadil to soften my cervix and Jeff and I will stay the night there.  My mom and sister are flying in that night to Atlanta and Sissy Jenkins in my ward is kind enough to pick them up for us.  Then the next day at some point they will break my water and give me pitocin if I need it.  We will probably end up having her sometime in the late afternoon of Tuesday December 2.  That day is also Jeff's grandpa's birthday, so that will be fun for Cheyenne to share that special day with him.  We will let everyone know what happens when we have her though.

Jeff and I have been a little bummed out that we weren't going to get to be with our families this year for Thanksgiving.  We have had such fun Thanksgivings since we have been married always being with at least one side of our family. Most of my family was in Kansas at my sisters house and Jeff's were in Bellingham and Utah.  We were thinking about just going out to eat, but we decided to cook our own little dinner.  Last night we went to the Super Wal Mart in Hartwell and got all the fixin's... turkey (breast), stuffing, rolls, potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, etc.  Today we slept in and then cooked the turkey (with several calls for help to family), and then cooked the rest of the food a little later.  The missionaries also came over and we had our own little Thanksgiving.  Afterward, we went for a walk then watched Home Alone, to get us into the Christmas spirit.  The food was sooooo delicious (although I wish I had my mom's rolls), and the day was an overall success:)  This Thanksgiving I was most grateful for my wonderful husband who I love more than anything in the whole world and our new baby who will be born very soon.  I am also so grateful for the gospel in our lives, it guides us everyday and is something that is so consistent and we can always rely on it.  This is especially important as we are young and moving to new places we know that is one thing in our life that will always be the same no matter where we are!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we will let everyone know when the baby arrives!! YAY!!!
