Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we were extra thankful to have Mitch's parents come to town to help us celebrate the holiday.  Since they came all the way up to Boston, we thought we would make their trip worth it by baking them a delicious turkey.  We tried a new approach this year by placing our secret seasoning mix inside the turkey skin and baking it in a oven bag.  It turned out to be one of the best turkeys we have ever eaten.  We accompanied the turkey with green bean casserole, butternut squash, cranberry salad, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and homemade rolls.  It was quite the feast.  We took pictures to prove it.  Besides eating great food while Mitch's parents were up here, we did lots of Christmas shopping to take advantage of all the Black Friday deals and nearly finished all our gift buying for the season.

Sex

This past Tuesday we had our 17 week ultrasound.  This is when the doctors survey the baby's organs, skeleton, and other important measurements are made to make sure our little friend is reaching all the appropriate development milestones.  Fortunately, our little baby has checked out perfectly.  What great news!  We were told it is even quite an active little thing, but Bekah has yet to feel the "fluttering" feeling from the baby moving around.  Oh, yeah, this was also the ultrasound where they can tell the sex of the baby.  Want to know the sex?  Click here.
