Joke's on me!

I'm never having this kid.  I swear I must have the poshest womb in the UNIVERSE, because the babies just want to stay put.  Bryan says I must have an "abnormally long gestation period for a human."  Read:  you're an alien freak and you'd better keep that demon child in you as long as possible so I can skedaddle before it gets here.

*sigh*

Good news is, though, that I won the bet.  IN YO FACE, MOMMA!  I made turkey, stuffing, cornbread, rolls, green bean casserole, two (TWO) cheesecakes, chocolate chip banana bread, mashed potatoes, and german potato salad.  We also had a pre-cooked ham, and two store-bought pies.  Guess how much food got eaten?  Not very much.  Mom and dad were our only guests, and because of my dad's new BP meds he wasn't very hungry.  The other thing that sucks?  There's hardly any room in my stomach anymore, so *I* can't even gorge myself on the leftovers.  Dammit.

Yesterday was actually a very very awesome day.  Bryan was a tremendous help in the kitchen and around the house, Phoebe napped dutifully while the brunt of the preparation was going on in the kitchen, and my mom and dad were in excellent spirits.  The only thing missing was Marissa, and we have so many leftovers that having a "second" Thanksgiving is entirely possible.

Speaking of leftovers, I gotta run.  I hear a cheesecake calling to me.....

Oh my GOD!! Can I please come over and eat your leftovers? The only thing that sucks about going out to a restaraunt for Thanksgiving dinner is not having any the next day. I totally commend you, wish I had mad skillz in the kitchen like you.

I say if you're not induced by sunday, your going into labor by Monday.

It could be worse... elephants gestate for *22* months!

Baby comes when baby is ready. The whole 40 week this is an ESTIMATED due date, yo. We do need more pictures if we are to believe you, though. Gimme that belly!

And I am SO coming over to your house for dinner tonight.

Me thinks Andrea just called you an elephant! RUT ROH!

You said CHEESECAKE. That wasn't very nice Ms. Fancy Pants Uterus Bo Booterus.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Karen :)

Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. First, freeze some of that cheescake for when you're back home with the new baby and you have room in your flat belly! Second, I'm betting on Monday, too!

[Angela]

Your thanksgiving dinner sounds awesome, you're a supermamma!

[Mrs. Flinger]

I'll be there in another few hours. *I* have no problem shoveling way tons of food as long as SOMEONE promises to watch the toddler. ;-)

sounds like you had a wonderful thanksgiving. i was hoping that i would pop on by and bryan would have posted saying you had a baby "?".

well, i keep checkin' in!

[Candice]

I don't know whether to congratulate you or not?? Well kudos on the thanksgiving fiesta. Maybe next year I'll come to your house, lol. And these are the following things that suck (sorry so many) That you have no room to feed yourself your delightful dinner, that your kid is still in there making your ankles swollen and kicking you all night, hopefully not in the cervix cause MAN that hurts, and that you are getting closer and closer to induction.....Alright I've bummed you out. And here I was hoping to check this thing and see a brand new baby boy! LOL. We love ya and are thinking about you!

[Mama C-ta]

Hopefully you had the bambino by now! But all I keep thinking about is chocolate chip banana bread.

[pretendingsanity]

just checking in. Hope all is well, can't wait to hear.

[Charmaine]

Glad to hear everything went well with preparing the feast. I was almost half-expecting to see pictures of a new baby since I haven't been to your site in a week.
