Happy Thanksgiving

We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving. My in-laws were nice enough to supply the whole dinner (and deliver it!) We had planned on going to their house but my back has been hurting too much to handle the ride so they packed it up and brought the whole sha-bang to our house. It was so sweet of them, they took care of every last detail so it would be a relaxing day for us!

We needed a relaxing day since the past few weeks have been filled with stress and worry. A few weeks ago I began itching pretty intensely, concerned that it was related to my pregnancy we went to have additional blood work and found out my liver isn't working properly. This condition is called cholestasis, which can have some serious consequences on the baby. We are going in for bi-weekly monitoring/ ultrasound and they have moved my c-section date up 2 weeks (Dec. 5th). Please be praying for us. My mom flies in on Sunday, I am sure she will really help distract me while I count the days down.

Chase is doing great and has really started trying to talk. The cutest thing he says right now is please.

Big Shoes to Fill

Monkeying Around

We escaped to Lowry Park Zoo this weekend and had a great time. Chase loves the animals and the park is really nice.
I also threw in a picture of me-for those of you who are wondering how fat I am really. We are in the home stretch (six weeks).

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween. Ryan came home from work early and we headed out to try trick or treating for the first time. Our neighborhood is amazing, almost everyone was out on their porch to give candy away and the streets were filled with little kids. Some people really went all out with their scary decorations. Chase was so funny- at first he just stood silently and stared at people. Then he started to get the idea and would take candy if it was offered. About 5 houses into it he was reaching with both hands into the candy bowls. One older women actually looked at him and said, "Only two candies" as if he would understand (or even wanted candy). We had a great time meeting new neighbors and watching Chase.
