Thankful for a great Thanksgiving

Hi all! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We sure did. We had much to be thankful for this year as you all know. We ate too much (well I did anyways - DH is better at moderation than I am when it comes to food.) We spent the weekend with my family. Got to see my parents, my kids, my granddaughter L (who is now walking up a storm), my siblings, and the nieces and nephew. Granddaughter M is due to arrive late February so my DD is into her last trimester now and she's looking fabulous. We just had a wonderful weekend overall. Of course, I think I was a bit wiped out after all of it - after our drive home yesterday I slept for 13 hours, waking only to pee.

Over the weekend, we were all talking about how next Thanksgiving will be even more crowded around the table as DD, SIL, and I are all pregnant. DD like I mentioned above is due in February, my SIL is due mid-May, and I am due mid-July. The thought of all of those new babies around the table brings a smile to my face - I just want to be more confident that that really will be the case for us. At this point there is still a giant "IF" in the room - "if" we make it to to the 2nd trimester, or 3rd; "if" baby A continues to progress; "if" my cervix holds up. I wish I could tame Nelly Negative and let Polly Positive run free, but we've just been tainted by the last 3 losses so I guess it's going to take more time before I stop prefacing every sentence that contains the word "pregnant" or "baby" with the word "if". In time I guess, in time.

To end on a positive (albeit bittersweet) note, this past Friday we made it to 7 weeks, 1 day. This is now officially our longest pregnancy to date since we've been trying to conceive. Just under 33 weeks to go now!
