Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, not so happy for me. Although I did see my family and have a good time it wasn't a typical Thanksgiving for me. It was my first Thanksgiving I have been pregnant and I was really hoping and getting excited about pigging out. Boy was I wrong on two different counts.

One: I could not pig out because being 8 months pregnant my body does not like that. If I eat too much I get sick. Not to mention that oh so awesome morning sickness had come back.

And...

Two: I had my 3 hour glucose test a couple of days before and would receive the results until next week so I had to be cautious just in case I did have gestational diabetes. It was unlikely that I would have gestational diabetes because I only failed my one hour by a couple of points but just to be safe I didn't eat too much.

After we saw my family we went to see Alex's family and I did not eat anything there but of course Alex did. It was so awkward for me. They all stared at me like I had five heads and acted like they didn't want me there. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. At least it's done... until Christmas that is.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!

Today Alex and I got married. I know what you are probably thinking. You're thinking, "Did she say married? On Halloween? Who does that?" This girl! I have always loved Halloween and the fall so getting married today was perfect and even more perfect that I actually married someone who agreed to marry me on Halloween.

It was a short ceremony probably less than 20 minutes. Just a quick, "I do," ring exchange and a kiss. That's how I wanted it. I've never been the wedding type of girl. I didn't see the point in planning something so huge that would last not even a full night and ultimately leave you practically broke in the end. I just wanted to get married and it didn't really matter how small it was.

I originally just wanted it to be Alex and myself in a private little ceremony but Alex being Alex had to invite his parents and grandfather so that led to me having to invite my Mom and her husband, my sister and her husband and my niece. It was on a Monday so only a few select people could come to begin with.

After the ceremony we went out to eat. We had the typical tradition of cutting the cake and smashing it in each others faces. Alex even got it up my nose and the owner's looked at us horrified because of the mess we made.

Once we left the restaurant we began our honeymoon which was also our babymoon. Nothing fancy, just me and him staying overnight together. We had a little scare which led to a quick trip to the emergency room where I was told everything was fine, I was just a little irritated from doing too much... you know. :X

Not the traditional type of wedding.

We look happy. Well, I look high but happy nonetheless.

Cutting the cake.

CAKE SMASH!!
