Hello family,
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend - I hope you all did too. Allen and I went up to Dallas to visit his family. We left for Dallas at 5am Thursday and arrived at about 9:30. We visited with the family and had "Dinner" at 2. After such a wonderful big meal, we all promptly fell asleep until roughly 6 when we decided to go to the movies. We saw Casino Royale, the new James Bond film. It was good. I haven't seen many 007 movies, so I don't know how it compared or related to the others, but I liked it. It was a sold out seating, so we all couldn't sit together, but ya can't talk anyway. The movie let out at about 10 and by then we were all tired again.
Allen wanted to do Black Friday, so once again we were up at 5am, this time to hit the stores. They were a mad house, lines formed for blocks just to get into Best Buy. Allen had never seen/done Black Friday, so I was the supportive wife and experienced it with him. We "shopped" for a few hours - purchased nothing, but got a feel for the craziness. Lets hope he doesn't want to do it again next year.
Friday afternoon we went to Aunt Billie's and had another family feast. Yowzer I have eaten ALOT! And Friday evening we had a birthday party for me and grandma Dorothy. I got a cool baby book, Christmas guest towels and a sweater set, Grandma Dorothy got a cheese platter, small plates and some candies.
Saturday Morning we all met for a big brunch with some of Will's family, and we left at noon to head back home. We stopped in Conroe (about 90 minutes outside Houston) at an outlet mall that has a Motherhood Maternity store and bought a few articles of clothes. It is still Autumn here, and I don't have any transeasonal clothes. All of my bigger regular clothes I am no longer able to squish into, so we augmented my wardrobe enough to get me to Christmas when I have a feeling more will be coming.
Tracy (Allen's sister) gave us some baby things. I got a breast pump, bouncy chair, a little bassinet, and if we want it we can have Emily and Courtney's old crib. Courtney will be in it until April, and then transition into a big girl bed.
When we got home Allen and I moved some furniture around in the "office" to make room for a crib. As it is now, there is a corner of the room a crib can fit into - Hopefully we can make this a nursery with a computer in it instead of an office with a crib in it.
As for the baby, I feel the baby moving around quite a bit, but Allen hasn't felt it quite yet. Baby is still spending a good deal of time on my sciatic, but no problems besides. I go in for my next ultrasound on Friday at 1pm - Hopefully I will get around to posting the new pictures this weekend.

For those who have been asking, we have established two registries, one at Target and the other at Babies R Us - They are under CJ (or Allen) Nash; you will also be asked asked where we are - texas is the answer.
Blessings to you all.
More to come.
CJ
