Oh man did Brett's turkey turn out beautifully on Thanksgiving! I wish I had taken a picture before it got carved up, but it took an hour longer to cook than we anticipated so it was in high demand! It really was wonderful though, and the gravy was pretty much the best gravy I've ever tasted.
It was a small Thanksgiving, and pretty much no one went back for seconds. After one plate and half a piece of pumpkin pie I felt sick. And then I realized that I had eaten so much that my belly button was sticking out. For those of you who don't know, towards the end of pregnancy that happens anyway. Mine hasn't done that yet, but it did that night.
And yes, I'm already huge. I'll be 23 weeks along on Tuesday. I've gained about 15 pounds so far which doesn't sound like a lot, but I still had some weight on me from Kennedy, so I got big fast. We have also finally settled on a name for this little boy. We had been going back and forth with lots of names and going through tons of lists, but in the end we came back to Noah. I know it's popular right now, but my name is a popular one and I have survived. In any case, we had a great holiday weekend, full of Black Friday shopping (which Brett got up at 4:30 for) and the BYU/Utah game. Also, I have put some new posts on my cooking blog, so check it out!

you are not big at all you look adorable pregnant!! That turkey does look amazing! I'm glad you had a great thanksgiving and I think the name Noah is so cute!
I think I gained about 20 pounds with Alex but it felt and looked like a lot more because I never lost it all from Melynn. You look great. I'm very impressed Brett, I tried to talk Peter into letting me cook a turkey just for us, but he said no. That's okay though my dad gave us all the left overs. yummm!

I love that you are going to have a Noah and a Kennedy, same as my niece and nephew! You choose cute names!
