Pregnancy Week 15 - 11.28.12 & My SIL's Engagement

Written 11.28.12...

Thanksgiving was excellent and tasty at the Lake Tahoe Ritz.  Other big news is that my sister in law (SIL) is ENGAGED!!  Very exciting and we could not be happier for her and her fiancé, (welcome to the family T!!!)  It looks like I just picked up another fun project for the next few months - can't wait to start wedding planning with the SIL :)

And some other fun activities...

 

In other news.....

Little Bean we know what you are now!!!  Everyone was so excited to find out, we all headed over to Gimi and Poppa's (my parents) to share the news. We created a large surprise box filled with balloons which when opened would tell everyone what you are.

Team Boy...

Team Girl...


Drum roll please...

    

Your are a BOY!!!!


Everyone else is just as excited as us, thank you all for the sweetest cards, calls and texts...

Look what you had to say to those who thought you were a lady...we need to work on your manners.

Feeling:

Everything is going well this week just some uterus stretching which feels like a closed fist trying to expand and stretch inside of me.

Eating:

Samesies as before (eggnog, Indian food, rice, white potatoes) and mustard

Aversions: 

Meat, salad, nut butters

Thoughts: 

We would be thankful no matter what but this news is particularly great because I didn't realize how nervous I was for a girl until grandma and great Auntie pulled out the American Girl doll catalog. Hubs and I are not ready for that yet, God definitely blesses you with the baby you are meant to have. I am starting to kind of like some little girl things though so maybe after raising BBK (Baby Boy K) for a few years I will be ready for a girl?

Weight:

126.2lbs, gain of 3.1 lbs

A week in Sunriver, OR

This week we spent some time in Sunriver, OR with my husbands side of the family and our favorite family friends. There were 15 of us total with us "kids" out numbering parents almost 4 to 1. That ratio alone set us up for a good time. Unfortunately we had some off weather, it even hailed! But with great company we made the best of it. 

We rode bikes and baby bear had his first opportunity to be pulled in a bike drawn carriage and he pretty much loved cruisin behind Daddy.  

I had only ridden once since I was 14 (except that fluke 20mi bike ride complete with happy hour stops) so I was a little wobbly and my tail bone was pretty sore but I enjoyed my beach cruiser. There were a few hills where gears would have been useful so next time I will probably rent a bike ready to take on more hilly terrain. 

We celebrated the 29th birthday of this special guy...

Ate some great food...

Baby Bear tried his first ice cream, not as much of a hit as I expected...

and a particularly awesome dessert, S'mores Pie (recipe to follow in a few days)...

Larger than your man's hand doughnuts...

Had a few quiet minutes despite trauma from teething...

Popped a molar, well half of it.  Looking forward to when this misery maker is done torturing my baby.  

Did some swimming....

Ate some dirt...

Took a raft down the Deschutes...

All in all a relaxing, hilarious, and memorable week!  

P.S. Any suggestions for another family oriented, active vacation spot? We love Sunriver but are hoping to switch it up every couple years.
