Week 21: Thanksgiving

Happy Holidays! Xmas Tree Hunting!

This year was Ryan's first Griswald family experience of cutting down a Xmas tree with my family. Every year growing up this was always quite the event that could last hours on end depending on how long it took my mom to find the perfect tree! I remember many years trudging through the snow, mud, rain, and freezing cold weather to find a tree. It was often my mom running around, and us kids following complaining, "Are we done yet?" But despite the craziness, looking back it was great memories and I was excited that Ryan and I could have our first experience together of cutting down our own tree (with little one along too!). As you can see we found a tree and actually in record time. Maybe we should always head out when the sun is about to set, I always do better working under pressure at the last minute. We put the tree up on Sunday and I love the smell of a fresh Xmas Tree! As we were out there looking for trees I was thinking about how fun it will be next year to bring our little one along and have our first experience with the 3 of us getting our first tree together.

So Nick wanted to find out who had a bigger bump, him or me? The black part is my stomach, of course I was the winner! That was Nick's post-Thanksgiving bump!

Thanksgiving morning we did a 5-mile Turkey Trot run. Luckily the weather was great and the best part was that we each got mini Pumpkin pies. Ryan took a 21 week Running Bump picture of our little one before the race!
Week 21 Bump! I am officially past the half way point. Still feeling great (knock on wood). Definitely within the last week all of a sudden the little one has just popped out, not literally!
