12 weeks, huge, and making a turkey

November 28, 2019 by Adrienne

Apparently this is what 12 weeks along looks like with baby number nine. I keep getting asked when I’m due. The looks of sympathy when I say not until spring are quite comical. Baby’s heartbeat is 155 and I’ve begun to feel it move. So very fun.

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re creating our own little feast, continuing the tradition of appetizers for lunch and eating dinner mid afternoon. I’ll fry pickles, and Ruby made cheese dip for chips. I brined the turkey this year for the first time. I’m hoping it’s fabulous. We’ll make mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, and dinner rolls. Ruby made pecan pies and a cream pie. She’s eleven and quite the little cook these days. I’m thankful for her!

I hope each of you have the happiest of holidays, enjoying family and friends and giving thanks for the blessings we’ve been given.

    I went all the way to see the last post I received. It was Stellan’s Backpack post. Crazy I missed so many. It would not let me leave a comment on the last several.

    My husband had not gotten them either. Strange!

      I’ve had several people say that posts aren’t being delivered. So weird! I’ve missed your sweet comments!
