I love the decor things you've found... Thanksgiving is my #2 fave holiday myself.... I don't know if you've also seen the amazing Pottery Barn Thanksgiving "advent" calendar... I bought one, with the hopes of maybe making my own (libbydibby) version of it, but I have to admit, theirs was so unbelievably fabulous in person - and I'm so excited about preceding the Christmas holidays with a month of focusing on thankfulness and prayer in my kids' hearts... it's really something beautiful to look into.<BR/>blessings. (and many congrats on your new peanut.)<BR/>libbylibbydibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174279926782352881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935732.post-60074630661545988212008-10-23T19:44:00.000-07:002008-10-23T19:44:00.000-07:00Little Miss Annabelle Lucy is going to be a *fanta...Little Miss Annabelle Lucy is going to be a *fantastic* big sister ~ full of tenderness, and maybe a little spice just to keep things interesting. {If I remember correctly, she's never *not* kept you on your toes!} In fact, your two little ones will probably be worthy of their own Little Miss Stories {Little Miss Sunshine, etc. Ever read those?}Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326454493728489973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935732.post-87121555613118016302008-10-22T19:25:00.000-07:002008-10-22T19:25:00.000-07:00i just followed the links...

I never did get morning sickness with my first, with my second just mild nausea and with this one just maybe two weeks of nausea but it seems to have passed. I couldn't handle myself if I were one of those women who threw up all the time! I have been tired of course but overall good! My second appointment is next Monday and I am hoping to get to hear the heartbeat for the first time. This will be our last, I can't even imagine how your hubby's family did it. God just equips those families with lots of grace. :) How are you feeling?Cottage Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371107327269866980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935732.post-47401484735258868382008-10-22T10:39:00.000-07:002008-10-22T10:39:00.000-07:00Hey Chelle!

I have been bogged down by world events lately and feeling down. Congrats on the pregnancy, we are actually pregnancy buddies. I am due a week after you but will probably deliver the first week of May with a scheduled c-section. I have not announced it publicly on my blog but I had to mention it to you since we are on the same time table!

And I love all of your sweet autumnish ideas- especially the Thanksgiving garland. I remember Blair posting that one and loving it then...Have you seen the one on Maya Made? That one is super cute too, but is made out of newspaper, not fabric. And I've been wondering about those sweater pillows myself... <BR/><BR/>It sounds like you guys are having a lovely week! And I love hearing about how you are treasuring this special season in your life as a family- I have such happy, fond memories of Audrey and my time together in the months before Elliot was born. I am praying that for you! I love you, sweet friend!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I wish so much that we could go on a Secret Life of Bees date together!
