Not really much happening lately.
Um I am 30 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. Feeling pretty good. I get pains a lot switching back and fourth from Pubic Symphatic Disorder, and Sciatica in my back. It sucks, but it's almost over, so I am just trying to think of it as my payment for having a healthy baby. I am going to the midiwives today for a check up. I go every 2 weeks now! It actually helps the time to go by a little faster.
I can't believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas is like right around the corner. Thanksgiving I am having here with my mom and Charlie, my sister and Rich, Jeremy, not sure about Matthew, and me and Ricky poo. The wicked funny thing is that me and Rick don't have any dishware yet, so we have to buy it before Thanksgiving! I dunno what I want, but my mom suggested Corelle. Good thing Rick has worked some OT the past couple weeks.
As for Christmas...
OMG I am so not looking forward to shopping and trying to find stuff for people. I am the worst at picking out gifts. Of course Rick insists on getting gifts for his whole family. In my family we look at Christmas for like mostly the children, and then the hubbys and wifes get each other gifts. But like I MIGHT get my mom something tiny like a decoration for her house, and my dad I MIGHT grab him a new shirt or sweater or something small. My sister I MIGHT get her a little gift card for like Express or Lerner's of NY. That's it though, I don't buy stuff for my granparents, or like my uncles or aunts. Even my mom and my sister and I agreed that we wouldn't buy each other anything this year except MAYBE if something really caught our eye that we KNEW they would love we would get it, but I am not going to be 9 months pregnant and searching through every store in the mall trying to find a good enough gift! It's so much more fun to shop for the little kids. I already have a little lay awaw going for Jameson's clothes blankets etc... And I guess his grammie also has one going too. Next I wanna get one going for Taya's presents. I have never done a lay away before I am don't even know, like can I put toys on it??? I'm going to have to travel up to K-Mart to do some more for Jameson, cuz I did one for him at Burlington Coat Factory and Rick's mom has one going at Walmart already and I don't want to end up buying the same stuff she did. I will do another one at BFC after we pay off this one. I love that store. Hey, I could even put some clothes in the lay away for Rick huh. I never thought of that!
So anyways, I really want to find some really awesome recipes for Thanksgiving side dishes and a few things appetizers to bring up to Rick's dad's house on Christmas Eve. Oh Yeah, I am so excited, we go up there on Christmas Eve every year, they live in New Hampshire, it's a wicked lot of fun and there's a lot of family there and Taya gets gifts and they get us gifts and stuff. Well, this year I have convinced my mom and Charlie to come with us and join in thier celebration! It's going to be the best of both worlds for me! My mom is going to love the way they all are so inviting and loving there. I make food either before I go up there, or I prepare it there at thier house. Last year I made Ambrosia and this awesome Chocolate Kalua toffee trifile thingy. OMG they were soooooooooo good! This year I wanna make appetizer food tho.
OK Taya's ready for her nappy, so talk later!
