Thanksgiving Thanks!

So, here I am in the winterized East Aurora, Toy Town USA. My babies first taste of Thanksgiving dinner cooked by the best, my Mother of course, will be tomorrow! I am giving thanks today that the baby has decided to move off the nerve or organ or whatever he was leaning on near my right hip, that was the first not fun feeling of my pregnancy. Not that it was painful (not like the heartburn) but, more like pressure - and something I just couldn't get rid of at all. I slept the whole night on my left side hoping when I woke up he would have been pulled by gravity off of whatever he was leaning on, well today after two nights that theory finally worked :)

I am happy that I am getting to spend time with the women of my family on Friday for my first baby shower, that I got to visit with my friends from the EA area and that there is 5 inches of snow on the ground to mark the fact that I am actually back in the Buffalo area!

One thing that I am thankful for is that my love Jai is as excited and involved with the choice of the baby's name as I am. We are still working on a name, although Hunter is in the running along with Elijah still and my long shot hope of Jackson (which is as likely as Jai's long shot hope of Cameron or Christian). I really am leaning toward Elijah but, I think that Jai is more excited about Hunter. The middle name will definitley be Henry (that we have agreed on!).

So, this Thanksgiving I am happy to be in good ol' EA, Toy Town USA, enjoying the simplicity of a small town with no job worries to think about, with my parents, awaiting the arrival of Jai and enjoying the alleviation of the pressure from Baby Boy Bennett!

I hope my baby enjoys the dinner as much as I know I will because we have so much to be thanksful for! And I am looking forward to next Thanksgiving and my boy's first enjoyment of the Macy's Day Parade on TV followed by the Dog Show and then Football! What could be better than family, good food and fun!
