Where do I begin?

Well it has been a month since I have posted! Sometimes when it has been a while since I have posted I have so much catching up to do I don't know where to start. Andrew and I moved a couple of weekends ago unexpectedly. The building we were living in was not a dog approved building and so we had to move into a dog approved building. We had just a couple of weeks notice and I'm not going to lie, it was very stressful. I wasn't sure I would be able to do it packing, moving, and being pregnant and really I wouldn't have if we hadn't been blessed with so much help. Andrew's mom was sweet enough to fly down with a weeks notice and packed with Andrew while I worked. Also we had a lot of friends come over on moving day which was incredible! Seriously we would have been lost without all of that help! If you read this friends, thank you, thank you, thank you!!

One great thing about moving is it forces you to sort through things and get rid of stuff you don't need anymore. Oh and sometimes you find enough empty MAC cases to get a free lipstick! And EVERYTHING got dusted which I loved! But really if only I could have done all that without having to move!

So this week my family is here for thanksgiving and vacation! They flew in on Monday night and are staying through next Tuesday! It has been so fun having them here! I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday morning and my parents were able to come to the appointment and hear our baby's heartbeat! So special to share that with them!

We have been getting ready for thanksgiving, shopping, getting pedicures and just enjoying each other. Oh and opening cute baby presents! I will post some things later but a few items my mom gave me I wore myself as a baby and they are so cute!

This is Andrew and I opening the little outfit my dad bought our baby girl the day we found out our sweet babe was a girl!
At a super yummy sushi place downtown! Oh I can't wait until I can eat more than california rolls and miso soup! (my mom was taking this picture)We went to sunset cliffs today and took some family pictures! Here are my cute parents!
All of the girls! (One still in my tummy!)
Here we are at 26 weeks! or about 6 calendar months!
The whole family!


I am going to try to work backwards from here on what I remember.

For Halloween Andrew and I helped out at our church's harvest party! We ran a game booth in the little kids section and it was so cute to see all of the little kids!

There were tons of people there! Lots of blow up houses and games and rock climbing and live animals, it was quite the event!Well I looked back through my pictures and I guess that was it! We have pretty much just been packing and moving over here! Oh and growing! I have been doing lots of that! I absolutely LOVE feeling our baby girl move around! She loves to kick first thing in the morning, a lot in the afternoon and some before bedtime. I'm trying to talk her into keeping that schedule, think it will work? :)

Oh also for those of you who voted for my Grandma on AARP, thank you! She won!
