  • Such a busy month!

    MIL's bday is the 10th and Nephew's bday is on the 14th.

    I have a bazaar work at on the 2nd, 9th, and 23rd.

    Halloween party tonight.

    Doctor appt Monday to see how all my labs went.

    Also, Ava Nichol's friend H's 2nd bday.

    We also have at least one play date a week, two if we go to Library Story Time every Wed.

    And then Thanksgiving! I cook the meal at my mom's house :) I am looking for new recipes starting tomorrow! Oh and we do Thanksgiving with DH's mom's Dad's side of the family the Saturday before and with FIL and family the day after.

    I love to go shopping but I like to go after the big rush. I can no longer do that because we have to go to FIL's Thanksgiving. DH won't go with me early morning Friday and my mom has to work so I can never find someone to go. I just love to shop and I LOVE deals!

    This post is all scattered and all over the place because that us how I feel about November! So much to do!

  • Somewhat eventful. I'm going to RI Comic Con this weekend with DH and DD, I'm supposed to have a pampered chef show sometime this month too, but I haven't scheduled it yet, and then Thanksgiving with just the immediate family.

    QQOTD: Yes I am doing it again this year. I have been doing it for 4 years now, and I go with DH. We are planning on hitting Walmart and Toys R Us that night. My parents watch DD for us while we go. This gives us a chance to have a little getaway to the store without DD. I'm planning on getting every last gift (except for liquor), put the Christmas decorations up along with the tree, and have all the gifts wrapped and placed under the tree that same day.

  • Oh and I forgot to answer the Black Friday question.  I don't typically go shopping then because I hate crowds and get too overwhelmed!

  • November is going to be somewhat busy and exciting! We have our next appointment on the 11th and I'm really hoping we have our dating ultrasound before Thanksgiving. We are planning to announce to everyone then. I am so ready for thanksgiving break too!

    QOTM- I absolutely never go Black Friday shopping. We tried once but it was insane. Never again!

  • We close on our house this afternoon!!!
    This month will consist of unpacking/decorating, 5 day work weeks, hopefully DH finding a new job, and Christmas shopping :).

    QOTM- Absolutely! I'm a crazy black Friday shopper. I hate that stores are opening so early and on thanskgiving though.

  • Well I have to say the big thing for me is Xmas decorating and I want to go all out this year. Being in the hospital all I wanted was to feel homey because ti was so sterile in there. So I am going to go nuts but don't have a lot of energy so I am going have to do it over weeks. Also CDN Thanksgiving was in October so there is no big holiday in between now and Xmas for me. 

    No bdays or anniversaries. 

    Black Friday shopping has just started to be a thing in Canada so I may indulge!! We don't really get flyers though for things that I want to buy.

  • Not too much going on that I can think of.  Hopefully we'll get Lucy's new room set up.  Thanksgiving with the in laws.  I'm hoping to do a Friendsgiving this year, too.  I turn 30 this month (on the 21st), so that's kind of weird.  I believe that's mostly all we have.

    And hell no I don't go black Friday shopping.  I'm willing to pay more to not deal with that hot mess.

    Only two more months to go until my EDD!

    Tomorrow is my baby shower.

    Then... just Thanksgiving. Not sure what we will be doing this year, as I will be around 34-35 weeks then. We shall see, I guess!

    ETA: QOTW: I have never and probably never will go shopping on Black Friday... too crazy for me!

  • This month isn't too bad for us. We have this weekend with going to the Poconos for H's alumni weekend. Next weekend we're going to a friend of our's little girl's second birthday party. The weekend after that (the 17th) is my our baby shower and H's diaper party! 

    Then we have Thanksgiving, which I'm not really sure what we're doing yet because H is going to NYC to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade as a clown and I'm staying home and probably going to dinner with my dad.

  • Not too much going on this month besides waiting and getting ready for baby. We are going to start stocking up on diapers when we go to SAM's. 

    We don't do black friday and our family has decided this year we are going homemade-Chrsitmas. DH is making something with his grandpa, I'm making a hand scrub, and DH's grandma is making different baked goodies (I'm helping her too). 

    I can't believe I'll have my baby next month!

    Yay I love this month. My birthday is next weekend on the 9th and my mom is flying in (: Then Thanksgiving!! I'm nuts about thanksgiving dinner, which I think we're going to DH's friends house for it.

    Waiting on my baby girl <3 EDD 2/5/14 

  • Finally get our first appointment and ultrasound on Monday!  I'm very impatiently waiting, but I'm hoping it will ease my anxiety since I've been spotting quite a bit.

    The rest of the month consists a busy Tastefully Simple schedule for me, and a wedding for H's best friend a week before Thanksgiving.  It's going to be a busy month, but I like it that way.

  • Getting pictures done of my baby girl next week, then nothing until thanksgiving.

    I always go online to look at the leaked ads and if I see anything I want I buy it before Black Friday, then I bring the receipts in later in the day on Black Friday for price adjustments. I still get the deals, but I don't had to stress over the crowds or the item being available. ;)

  • anatomy scan on 11/26. Other than that, aside from Thanksgiving no real plans. I don't do Black Friday shopping.. Oh the insanity! lol

    FFC; I usually wait until the last week or two to shop.. But I am making progress.. I actually started looking for some boots that DD wants. A for effort.

    Lesson learned!!

  • November is always busy! Both our birthdays are in November so we spent time celebrating those with our families.

    We are going away for a long weekend which we are auper excited about! My DH even booked the hotel this time! Yay for surprises and initiative.

    Black Friday: I might shop cyber deals. I am working that day though since it's a big retail day. I am already dreading the 8hr shift at 26 weeks pregnant. Although, it'll be the same the day after Christmas so I might as well get used to it.
    Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline! Cheering for all the strong 3T ladies!

    Having a baby and adjusting to that!

    We will do newborn photos sometime next week.

    Other than that, I think we are traveling out of state for Thanksgiving. Which sounds stressful but also awesome. I love going out to DH's parents house. I hope the holiday isn't here in town.

    ETA- no way to Black Friday shopping. I am usually working anyway but I would never deal with those crowds for "stuff." Plus I despise it even more because it's starting on Thanksgiving now and if my family ditched each other on a holiday to go shopping I'd be pissed.

  • I don't plan on doing anything in November besides pig out on Thanksgiving :-D

    I will not be shopping on black Friday, I think that you can usually find better deals after black Friday.

    I will however be gift shopping here and there and at some point I need to buy 15 turkeys before thanksgiving. How in the world am I supposed to manage that in one trip??!!
  • Liam will be a year old this month!!!!  I can't believe it!!!  We will spend most of the month planning for his birthday and Thanksgiving.

  • @bridget0117 what in the world are you going to do with 15 turkeys?

  • @wiggy and @bridget I was thinking the same thing, but handing them out to employees makes sense and is really sweet. At first I thought maybe you had some crazy large thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. Lol
