Thanksgiving weekend

It feels like I havent posted in a long time.  Things have been busy here as my final semester is winding down and all my assignments are being due!

Greg and I were alone for Thanksgiving this year and our plans kind of fell through. So we decided to go out to eat instead! We went to a yummy buffet at the Ameristar casino in KC. I thought we would be the only ones out to eat on Thanksgiving, but the place was packed!!! Here are a few pics of my food:



Turkey, Ham, Prime Rib, Potatoes & gravy, stuffing



Dessert: Bread pudding, something very very chocolaty, and some apple pie (not pictured)

We also did some shopping during the wee hours of the morning for Black Friday.  Greg had never done it before, so I made him come with me.  It was so crazy!  We saw two ladies get in a fight over one of them taking something out of the others cart!  The lines were insane and too much for this pregnant lady to handle.  After our first store, we gave up!

We also went to a Missouri Mavericks Hockey game.  It was really fun.  Greg graduated from the University of North Dakota, in Grand Forks, ND (where I lived when Kaden was born).  We have both been to plenty of Sioux Hockey games, but never to a game together!  Even though I knew no one on the team, there was plenty of excitement.  Live hockey games are the most fun sport to watch!

The Mavericks Won!

On our long weekend without kids, we have also been trying to clean the house and get a few things rearranged before the baby comes.  We are moving every kid in this houses room to give baby Ellie her own room!

Speaking of Baby Ellie, I am almost 30 weeks now.  I have been in the hospital already for having contractions early.  I spent a night there and had contractions every 4 to 8 minutes all night long.  I am already dilated to 1 cm.  They didnt give me any medicine to stop the contractions and I still have them irregularly throughout the day.  They told me to just rest more and drink more fluid.  I went to the doctor last week and I was still at 1 cm.  I am thinking Ellie wants to come early.....which is fine with me, as long as she waits until January, so that she is healthy enough to not have to stay in the NICU!  She is the most active little girl in my belly.  I get kicked ALL day long.  I dont think she ever sleeps in there.
