An Eventful Week - Giving Thanks...

It was an eventful week here in the casa de Lisa and Keith...

We are still missing PaPa but giving thanks for the good memories and the love and life he shared with us.

On Tuesday, I had a minor mishap doing the dishes in the early morning...which resulted in an ER trip and 4 stitches! Let's just say that I am thankful and happy to leave the knife washing to the dishwasher (and I don't mean Keith) from here on out.

Wednesday, Keith's birthday, was low-key but fun! We celebrated our last "couple" birthday...meaning next year it will be baby and us! We are looking forward to sharing the special days with Peanut and thankful for the blessing of a baby.

Thursday was full of fun and family as we traveled to both sides of the family for Thanksgiving. It tired Peanut and I out (and Keith!) but we enjoyed seeing everyone. We are thankful to have had safe travels and see our family and share the day together, but we are most especially thankful that Keith's father is doing well. We spent a little bit of Thanksgiving in the hospital with him as he is fighting an infection that is a little stubborn. The good news is that he is back home now, and we are hoping he is on the mend. Please keep him in your prayers.

So, two ER trips in one week means we are giving thanks that a new week is beginning and we are hopeful for it to be a lot less eventful than the last.

In nursery news, we have gotten our crib together and now baby's dresser! The room is coming together, and we are excited to see it take shape. We have cleaned out Peanut's closet (well, for the most part), and started hanging some of the clothes we've received as gifts! It's just about 3 months away and is a little surreal at this point...we feel a mixture of "wow" and "uh oh" at the same time!

Peanut is still "on the move" - wiggling and kicking in my belly. It's not quite strong enough yet for Keith to feel again, but we are hoping he will be able to feel the baby kick again soon. We have our next appointment in just a few days. It's the "fun" one where I get to drink the sugar liquid and take a test for gestational diabetes.

I'll post again after the appointment!
