It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas


We had a busy Thanksgiving Break. Monday started off with 2 doctor's visits for me. Physical Therapy for my sore feet... yeah!!! And a trip to my OB for my glucose screening test, which I failed. Tuesday Izzie had surgery to remove her adenoids and rinse her sinuses. Everything went perfect, a blessing indeed. Wednesday morning I had to complete a 3 hour fasting glucose tolerance test. I passed. Yea! No gestational diabetes! We came home Wednesday afternoon. Thursday we vegged out, a lot. We ate lunch with our pastor and his family. Thanks so much, Halls. Izzie did well at lunch but was a total crab the rest of the day. Can you blame her? She had just had someone rooting around in her sinuses. We did a little black Friday shopping and finished off the weekend decorating for Christmas. I love Christmas. Presents will be pretty slim this year, but that doesn't change the reason for the season. Thank you, God for your perfect gift!
The tree was my project. The house was Greg's. He LOVES Christmas lights, and I love that he is like a little kid at Christmas!

Daycare Thanksgiving

Yummy! Ham!


Today Izzie and I were privileged to be part of our 1st daycare Thanksgiving Feast. We took green beans (and ice). The meal was fabulous! Izzie ate ham, dinner roll and dressing! (She squished all the green beans without eating one!) This was such a great opportunity to share with the other families and workers at her daycare. Thanks, Ms. Jane and Ms. Debbie!
Wow! I'm soooo full!

Happy Fall, Y'all


The weather has been in the 70's, but the leaves around our place make it look like fall. We took Izzie outside last weekend to play with the leaves, sticks, and dogs. She loved it.

I've been a little awall here lately. This is mostly due to fatigue. I'm pooped all the time. They say that no 2 pregnancies are the same, and they(whoever they is) are right. I feel completely different than I did when I was pregnant with Izzie. Maybe this was because I wasn't chasing a 1 year old around then.

Update on Izzie... She is perfect :) She eats off the table, drinks tons of juice and sleeps all night. She is a total Mommy's girl and must be held for at least 4 hours a day. She walks runs everywhere! She is very smart. Many times I see the wheels turning in her little head an wonder "what will she be into next?"

She's a little sick right now. I took her to see her ENT yesterday, and he ordered a CT of her sinuses. Her adenoids are swollen, and she's had thick green runny snot for about a month. I know that our crazy weather isn't helping, but this is her 9th sinus infection in 7 months! I hope we have some answers soon.

Greg is doing well other than his sinus infection (are they genetic?) We are both excited that we have only 5 more school days until Thanksgiving break.

Fall Festival










Saturday we attended the fall festival at our church. Izzie dressed as the most beautiful flower you have ever seen. After the festival we Trunk or Treated, but the Jumper-Roo was the biggest hit for our little flower.
