Thanksgivings

Well, we're getting our November post in, just under the wire. I do hope we'll be more consistent once babyluffagus makes an appearance and there is more to report.

We have lots to be thankful for these days- here's a sampling with illustrations.

Matt and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary in October (woo-hoo!). We went to our favorite anniversary eatery, Henrietta's Table, where Matt took me on our first date. As Caitlin pointed out, this is probably the only anniversary date our baby will accompany us on.

Also in early to mid-October my parents visited. We always love hanging out with them (even though dad's visit was a bit of a whirlwind). Mom and I went for afternoon tea and had fun bonding over shopping. Here I'm sporting a very cool shirt that Mom and Caitlin got for me from Morocco.

The foliage was beautiful as always this year, especially the surprising second wave of mostly yellow trees. This is the one from our backyard.

We had a bit of a roller-coaster ride a few weeks ago with the baby- they found an irregular heartbeat (an extra beat every 6 or 7 beats) during a routine appointment. Apparently it's usually harmless and resolves on its own, but they wanted us to check it out. So we got an ultrasound (my theory is that it's impossible to be pregnant in the US and not have one, but that's for another post)- the great news was that the baby's heart looked a-okay and the heartbeat was regular. And we got fun pictures of the baby, which I'll try to post soon. In the meantime, here's one of baby from the outside.

As you can see, both baby and I are getting bigger! I'm 30 weeks here- about 7 1/2 months. Baby is about 3 pounds by now, I think, and is supposed to gain about 1/2 pound a week from here on out!

And finally, we had a wonderful visit with my relatives in NJ for Thanksgiving. Here are a few fun photos from our time, which was filled with great food, good conversation, and tons of game playing.
