Wow! Not only is it December, but it's a week in already! Craziness!
Also, I haven't posted since before Thanksgiving! Woops!
So, how was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was pretty great!
First off, we ended up spending a whole week up there, and got to visit a lot!
We had Thanksgiving at my aunts' house and a lot of my family were there.
I had my mom AND dad (that hardly happens) plus my in-laws and aunts, uncles, cousins!
There were a few people I wish could've been there, but it was pretty great!
We kicked off the night the right way...
Like I said before, it's not Thanksgiving until you have an olive on your finger!
The crazy thing about sticking olives on your fingers as an adult {ha, that's funny} is that they all break on your giant fingers! LOL! We made it work though!
Before we ate we all gathered around and my uncle Mark decided to take a day off from his usual 'talk forever and a day' thing and have everyone share what they were most thankful for.
That's him, the talker! LOL!
So we all went around the room, starting with the kids {I'm happy to say none of which was thankful for a toy or something like that!}
I was thankful to have all sides of my family together in the same spot, enjoying each others company.
Then when Matt shared what he was most thankful for, he got this reaction...
SHOCK and
OH MY GOD!!!
So, what was it?
He basically said "I'm thankful tonight for my family, but mostly thankful that I have all of your undivided attention, because...Ameryn's pregnant!"
The whole room went silent and then all at once lot's of screaming!
I just so happened to have the camera, so I tried to capture the moment.
What ended up happening was my mom tackling me and sobbing uncontrollably! Therefore after the 'shock' it was all blurry!
But, everyone was super excited and it really was a great way to tell everyone!
My mom and me... she is excited, but still not wanting to be called grandma quite yet!
Me, Matt and his parents who have been waiting for this since we got married!
My aunt who is obviously so super excited!
And then there is this picture of my uncle and me...I apparently was so excited that I made this face! LOL!
Him and my mom get the most emotional award for the night! He was a wreck! I can't wait to see what happens when his own daughter tells him that she's pregnant!
So, there it is... that's whats happening in my life, in fact it's pretty much the only thing happening right now! BUT, I just hit 13 weeks, and am starting to feel much better! And, now that it's out and everyone knows, it feels so good! This was the hardest secret to keep...ever! I had to skirt around the subject too many times! I never lied, but never quite answered the question. Note to everyone, NEVER ask someone if they are pregnant! Unless they just dropped you like 10 hints, don't ask! If they are they will tell you when they are ready.
We are so excited and a little anxious to meet our little peanut! This is going to be such a crazy and eventful year! I can't wait!
