Thanksgiving Weekend --- Part 2

Ok, if you haven't seen the blog below...start there and then come to this one...I ran out of room.

After the race and tree buying Chad, Kyle, Mel and I headed to the Botanical Gardens. The "display" we went to see was bust and complete disappointment...thank goodness it was about 68 degrees outside so we could walk around...2.5 hours of walking for someone 3 weeks out from their due date...can you say tired!

Thank goodness for the Climatron...it's like being in a rainforest. You can't really tell, but we're in a cave like structure with a waterfall behind us.

Chad growling inside a tree...this tree actually grows this way and you could sit all the way inside it if you wanted to.

Sorry, Kyle...I didn't get the great waterfall in behind you all...didn't notice until I uploaded these today.

After the Gardens we headed to Ted Drew's for some much needed custard! We all finished the day up by having dinner at Charlie Gitto's Downtown...it was great AND I have dinner for several nights this week! Mel and Kyle, we hope you all had a great weekend with us as well!

Chad, my Dad, Tyler (Chad's brother) and Kyle are all at the Ram's game as I'm writing this...hopefully they look good today, although that's very doubtful.

Olivia and I are doing great...Wednesday is the doctor's visit this week...we'll keep you all updated as it's getting closer and closer to the BIG DAY!

Thanksgiving Weekend --- 37 Weeks!

This past end of the week/weekend was great (this is going to be a LONG post)! Chad and I went to my family's house the night before Thanksgiving and then had a wonderful breakfast before he headed to his family's for Thanksgiving...I stayed with my parents since I am only three weeks out from having Olivia and I didn't want to chance it.

Most of my Dad's side of the family came to our house on Thanksgiving and we had so much food and an awesome time visiting...it was a little chilly on Turkey Day itself, so all of the activities were inside.

Kyle and Maddie -- Poor Maddie's almost 14 years old.

Me snacking about 9:45 at night...Dad just couldn't resist!

On Friday Mel and Kyle drove me back to my house, Chad and Doug came back from Lebanon and we were all able to catch up and hang out for the evening.

Saturday started very early with the 1st annual Warson Woods "Trot Through The Woods" 5K...Everyone did great and we had a little breakfast get together after.

Chad yelling at Doug who's taunting him as he ran past our house.

Joe was the big finisher out of the group...we're 99% sure he finished in the top 10.

Baby Shower #2!!!

3 weeks ago today I had my second baby shower...yes, I'm behind! Diane and Carrie McCuaig and Donna Rothschild gave me an awesome shower where little Miss "O" got even more wonderful things!

We had a wonderful luncheon with Donna's famous vegetable lasagna, Diane's awesome salad and for desert....my favorite --- Cupcakery Cupcakes! Carrie made chocolate favors in white and milk chocolate in baby shapes - rattles, trains, ABC blocks, etc...Olivia thought those tasted great!!!! (me too!!!)

Below are a few photos with all the awesome friends and family that were able to attend...my brother even surprised me and came in for the occasion --- it was wonderful!
