I'm still here! Barely...

Hello all! I'm back! Well for the moment at least. I finally got a moment to breath and catch up on my blogging and I'm going to make a significant effort to keep it up! Does it feel like anyone else is just barely surviving, behind on everything they do, can't keep up with everything that is asked of them? I hope I am not alone! Ahh...the holidays are just beginning.

Here are some updates on what's been going on in my crazy world.
-I hosted my side of the family's Thanksgiving this last Saturday...it was probably one of my favorite family get together's I have had in years. My family has just been my on call support system lately and so it just felt good to get to see them in person, give some hugs, have some laughs, and say some thank you's. I really NEEDED some family time! Plus the FOOD...ohhh the food. Thanksgiving dinner is sooo my favorite meal! On top of it all...I can't think of anything that made my heart more happy than having my nieces and nephew running around my house. It was a beautiful day outside so the girls were out gathering sticks, and my nephew was occupied by my husband (who also can be considered a kid when my nephew is around)...they are always playing catch, shooting baskets, or even playing board games. Yes I have seen it all...Robby is and always was definitely meant to have a son.

-We attempted putting up our Christmas lights on the outside of the house...and got about half way done. My neighbor that we usually borrow the ladder from was gone so regardless of my anxiety my husband just crawled around on the roof to get all them all hung!

-We did as much as we could with the supplies that we already had from last year...but of course a few of the strands of lights have gone out...and since Hobby Lobby is closed on Sunday's we had to save the rest of the job for this coming weekend. Here is the work in progress...

-I went inside and pulled out all the indoor Christmas decorations directly afterward...but the outside work had pretty much worn me out so I barely have my tree up... but not quite decorated. Thank goodness its a prelit tree so it looks good from the outside at least. I have a mountain of decorations in crates all over the living room waiting to be put out. They sat there unmoved last night though...so I really need to get motivated soon and get the rest of the decorating done before someone stops by and witnesses my mess. :)

-One of the biggest things I did this weekend was going to see NEW MOON with Stacy!! OMG!! Loved it so much! Can't wait to go back and see it again. I am sure plenty of you are equally as obsessed as I am...so let me hear your thoughts? Did you LOVE it?!?!

Now I know this is a long entry...but its overdue...so that's how I am justifying it. :) Anyway on to baby Bobby news. He is doing great! Every time I go in for a ultrasound the tech's always tell me without me even asking...how busy he is in there! Last time I got to see his hand move up and he put it in his mouth...I wonder if he was sucking his thumb? hmmm. I am waiting patiently to feel him move...and maybe JUST MAYBE I felt it this morning. But being the inexperienced mother I am I have no idea whether it was or not for sure. It was all on the right side of my belly button and over and over again...BUT I am not sure it wasn't just liquid moving through. You know how sometimes liquid gurgles through your stomach...well maybe it was just that...but on the other hand I heard people say it feels like bubbles or gas...well that was pretty similar...SOOO MAYBE IT WAS BOBBY! Either way I can't wait to feel him!
