This week was the quickest I've had since September. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving McNugget and I flew to OKC to finally be reunited with my husband after 10 weeks apart. This was the first time he's seen us since I've developed a bump, and I knew instantly he was in love with it. At first I was a little nervous because I didn't know if he'd see it as baby or pudge, but it only took one kiss on my bump for me to be reassured. It's so different for us because he's not here everyday to watch us grow, so I'm sure he was pretty shocked to see quite a development from the last 10 weeks or so.
Our first stop was Thanksgiving #1 in Enid, OK with my family. I started the day off with a great long walk with my long time bestie and we needed to warm up with Starbucks afterwards of course.
Then came the first stop on our pregnancy reveal tour, my Dad and little brother! We met them for breakfast, and at first I played for them a recording of the baby's heartbeat to see if they could guess. My Dad did, but my brother was confused until I told them they were listening to their grandchild's/niece/nephew's heartbeat! My Dad teared up and my brother was speechless!
Then for nap time at my little brother's house. My mom even stopped by to surprise us with pumpkin roll! It's a holiday specialty of hers, and I'd been craving it my entire pregnancy. She made me SO happy with it! I also had a little gift to give her. She already knew about her grandbaby, but she needed her first Grandma gift.

Next up on our docket for the day, our first Thanksgiving dinner! The food was amazing, and we loved surprising my family with the great news, especially my Grandma!

That night we drove to Sulphur, OK to Kit's parent's home for our second Thanksgiving of the week. We decided to tell them that night, even though we got in kind of late. I'm so glad we did, I was going to bust at the seams!
We got their reaction on video, and they were both SO incredibly shocked! They definitely didn't see it coming with us living 5 states apart right now. It was an awesome surprise to see, and we're so glad we waited in person to deliver the news.
The next day my Dad and brother drove up for Thanksgiving #2, and we finally got to tell my SIL that she would be an Aunt! She's also just announced she's pregnant and I'm only 2 weeks ahead of her! We definitely didn't plan it, but we're both really excited! After a few more phone calls to grandparents, our secret was off our shoulders and we made it FB official!

I really can't remember a Thanksgiving that I smiled more at, or that made my heart so full and happy. It's probably the pregnancy hormones, but I was left feeling so completely thankful and grateful after my short visit. My husband and I are so blessed, it's almost more than my heart can bear sometimes. Spending three days with my best friend was exactly what I needed. We laughed, joked, smiled so much and we never passed up a kiss or chance to touch one another. I can't wait for the day we can live in the same household again. Three more weeks until his Christmas break and it can't come soon enough! We find out our baby's gender on Christmas Eve together, so we have so much to look forward to in December!
