It's a GIRL!

We found out on Nov 20th that we're having a lil' girl!  We had a Level 2 Sonogram with our high risk doctor and she was quite cooperative!  In fact, she was spread eagle! LOL  I hope she doesn't continue the trend into her teenage years though!  Everything measured good and her heart is strong.  So let's thank God for that!  

In other news- Steph and Ron's wedding was perfect!  The church ceremony was beautiful and the reception was fun fun fun!  (See pics on my myspace- www.myspace.com/mrsmonardo)  We stayed overnight after the reception because we were down in Galloway Twp- so it was a bit of a hike.  Unfortunately, Sal had to work the next morning, so we were up and out of there by 8 am.  That kinda sucked considering we didn't get to bed til after 1 am.  Oh well.  This same night though, something wonderful happened!  Kerry and Chris got engaged!!  After 7 long years, it's official!  I only wish I would have gotten her message that night instead of the next morning!  I can't wait to help her plan!  It's been a long time coming and I'm sure if we really wanted to, we could have it planned in 6 months! LOL  But I know realistically, it'll probably be in a year or so!  (P.S. Ker, we need to talk dates!)

So, today is Thanksgiving and I'm hosting this year (5 months pregnant and sick as a dog, what was I thinking?)  I've been up since 5:30, cooking, cleaning, blowing my nose and coughing up a lung.  Oy!  Hopefully everyone will just eat and go.  I know that sounds harsh, but I really just want to get back in bed.  Plus I have to work tomorrow, so I really need to rest at some point.  We had a full house last night too.  And even though I retired to bed early, I didn't go to sleep- I couldn't quit coughing.  It's horrible!  I saw my OB yesterday and he put me on an antibiotic, and told me to take Robitussin and Sudafed.  I'm doing all that and still am not feeling any better!  I hope by tomorrow I feel at least a little bit better so I can get through work!  

So long for now.. gotta baste the turkey!

Since I haven't done this in forever...

We had Sal's Birthday Party here last night, it was a pretty good time!  Planning and setting up and cleaning and all other things that go along with it- not so fun, but the outcome was well worth it!  Everyone brought something, so that lessened the blow a bit.  Food was good, desserts were yummy.  Sal got some really nice gifts too, he was thrilled!

We finished the clean up this morning, so thank goodness that's done.  We also finally took down the Halloween decorations LOL!  We went to Target this morning and got a Christmas tree.  I know, a fake tree- EEK!  But, it'll be easier on Sal this year, I won't be too much help with the carrying and setting up.  It's pre-lit and has branches that have berries and pine cones on them.  It'll look fab!  I'll just have to keep the yankee candle burning so it smells like a real tree HAHA!

I also got my eyebrows threaded today.  I've never had my eyebrows done by anyone- no waxing, no threading, nothing.  So that was an experience!  They look fantastic though!  I'll def keep getting them done.  It hurt a little bit though, but the girl said it was probably because I'm preggers I'm more sensitive.  She said normally it doesn't hurt at all.

We have Steph and Ron's wedding this Friday, so excited about that!  It's been a long time coming!  Hopefully the weather will be nice, the 10-day forecast shows showers though.  We'll have to keep our fingers crossed that changes!

I have my Level 2 sonogram on Nov 20th and we'll hopefully find out what we are having!  As long as he/she isn't laying crossed-legged!  

I'll update after the wedding, unless something earth shattering happens before then!
