I told myself that I HAD to blog real quick before I went to bed. Even though I am about to pass out from exhaustion. We had a great Thanksgiving. Thursday we mainly spent the day at Mom and Dad's since Nick's family wasn't doing their Thanksgiving dinner till Friday. It has kind of become a tradition to sit down at the kitchen table with my sisters after lunch and look at the Black Friday ads. We make a list of everything we want to buy and map out all the stops for the next morning. This year I was up at 2:30!! Pam, Paula and Meredith braved the crowds with me this year. We hit Kohl's for some 1/2 toys and $2.50 BIG towels then headed to Wal-Mart for DVD players and Princess Barbies. We ran into the Breedings at Kohls at 4:00 a.m. and then again at Wal-Mart. Next was Target. Nick and I wanted to get Gabby a Radioflyer wagon for Christmas. I found the one I wanted, regularly $100 bucks, on sale for $64!! My mother-in-law's sister didn't make it down for Thanksgiving this year but Pam stayed on the phone with her getting the low down on all the deals. We finished up with breakfast and an afternoon nap. That night, we headed to the Miller family get together. This is a picture of Gabby and her great-grandmother and her great-great grandmother. I will have to get my mother-in-law to send me the picture of my niece, Kynsleigh stealing Grandmother Miller's walker! We finished the night with a late movie in Athens. Could this weekend get any better? Oh yeah, it did! Saturday Alabama whooped some Tiger tail! It was nice giving those Auburn fans their seventh....loss. Oh come on! You Auburn fans know you would have rubbed it in too! Sunday and Monday night I worked. It has been so crazy at the hospital. We didn't have an empty bed in the whole house last night! They begged me to work tonight and although that incentive pay sounds good, I know that their was no way I could stay awake all night. God has blessed me with a job that I can work as much or as little as I want. Tuesday we had an appointment with the pediatrician. My car was making a funny noise this morning so Nick took it to get it checked. When we got to the doctor, Gabby had the biggest poopy diaper and I had no diapers in my bag. I had two packs in the car. Unfortunately, half way out to the car I realized I was driving Nick's. I had to bum a diaper off a mom in the waiting room. I felt like the worst mother! Thankfully, Gabby had a good check up. She was in the best mood when Dr. Crowell started his assessment. But when he put the otoscope in her ear she showed her attitude. She has been really bad about slapping us in the face. Monday she did it to Nick and in the middle of him getting on to her, she put on her pouty face and gave him a big kiss. You could tell she was hoping that would get her off the hook and it did. We laughed so hard! She is already playing us! She weighed 18.4 at the doctor!! She gained over four pounds in three months. That is the biggest gain she has had so far. Login and Kyns came over this afternoon. I am hoping Gabby will be so tired from all the excitement of the day that she sleeps through the night.
