We're just a few days from Thanksgiving and just a few months until TJ is here! And we have a lot to be thankful for. Frankie & I are really blessed to have such great friends and family and such a wonderful support system surrounding us. TJ is so loved... and already so SPOILED! 
This weekend was our second baby shower... the one Aunt Angie & Grandma Reno spent a lot of time putting together and Grandma Martin came all the way from California to be a part of it and make it even more special. Frankie's Aunt Janet also made the trip. 
It was so much fun catching up with family and long-time friends and to celebrate little TJ. We're so lucky to have so many generous people in our lives, not to mention talented ones, too! Grandma Reno cross-stitched a baby blanket (as part of a family tradition - it's so special to have my baby blanket from my grandma and now TJ has his!), my friend Natalie knitted him two caps and a blanket, and Cheryl & Bernie made him some fleece blankets. It's so nice that he has these special mementos already. :) I can't believe all the stuff we have now!!!
The shower really wiped me out, and it took the rest of the weekend for me to recover, even though I don't think I have fully, yet. It's getting more and more difficult to do things before going to work, but I'm managing. I've been able to get all the blankets washed and put away... now, I just have to tackle the clothes and find places for all of our bouncers, play gyms and swing!
This Thursday will be the first Thanksgiving I've had since I graduated college! Getting holidays off doesn't come too, easily in the news business, and I'm grateful to be celebrating Thanksgiving with my family in our new home. Frankie's mom is staying through the holiday, and it'll be nice that we all get to spend it together.
