Thanksgiving

We had a very lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. We got to spend time with the Gilberts and the LaMonicas and in our annual football game the Gilberts won (naturally.) We all were reminded how out of shape we are and ran around enough to work up a mean appetite for some turkey. The turkey did not disappoint. All the good was incredibly good, and I just wished I had more room to put more of it.
Zach and I got to meet Nic and Lauren's baby Zoey. She is so cute it made my womb hurt. She was just the sweetest thing. It was also nice hanging out with little Carson.
Having the family together is so warming, and Zach's side if the family truly is my side of the family, they all are so loving and so welcoming, and it's obvious I'm just another piece of the family. I still really missed my Goyer fam bam. My sisters and my momma and my dad are so awesome and I hate not seeing them on holidays. It makes me sad.
It's black Friday, and I'm going to be working at the vineyard this weekend, away from all the crazies (I used to be one.) Hopefully we will get a lot of customers!
Oh yeah, I officially changed my name last week to Gilbert. I'm still getting used to it. It is actually really hard to write while signing things, try it sometime.

Panda Express

Today my dear friend and co-worker brought me lunch from panda express. After work I tried to take a nap, and whamo! Nauseous. Thank you panda. This made me really realize how terrified I am to get morning sickness. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones, but all the luck in my family has gone to my dear ol dad. He has a weird way of winning things.
Anyways, i feel bad for those of you who had to struggle through morning sickness, I feel like a giant baby when panda express makes my tummy upset, so I do not know how you do it!
In other news, I'm officially changing my name tomorrow. I feel kinda sad about not being a Goyer anymore, and I really need to get used to saying Gilbert. It's one of those names that just sounds silly when you say it too many times..... I hope you just tried it.

Enjoying the moment I'm in

It has been confirmed that I am not pregnant, and at first I was a tad bit sad. Zach and I have been praying that our baby will come by God's timing only, and so far that means not yet ha ha. I feel like I wasted about three weeks of my life sitting around wondering if I was pregnant or not and I could have been using that time to be doing something productive, or just being thankful for what I do have (the world's most handsome husband and the cutest, best behaved dog there ever was) Zach and I have also been praying that God prepares us to be parents, so pretty much I'm just waiting to be knocked off my feet with a challenge. (go easy on me Lord!)
Every day that I'm not pregnant is another day that I can prepare for it. My sisters, as most of you know, are incredible mommies, and they have a wealth of knowledge on all things mommy and baby. They are so awesome and I love them a lot!
Oh, and I'm not going to lie... The one thing that made me feel better about not being pregnant was knowing that I at least had a few more weeks to drink wine. I'm sorry, I just really love wine, and I will miss it when baby comes.
Another thing that I've been thinking about is how "everyone is getting pregnant now" and you see lots of new Moms on Facebook. There are three types of facebookers. Those who are pregnant, those who wish they were pregnant, and last but not least, those who think the rest of us are just following a trend. I used to be the last, now I'm the second and I have realized, those who are becoming mommies are not following a trend, they are just doing what they would have done even if there was no Facebook.
People have always pro created and now it is just more public, and people tend to brag about their cute babies more because it's easier to do it on Facebook (brag away friends, I love your baby pictures.)
This month I'm going to enjoy every day and not get bogged down wondering if I'm pregnant. Especially Thanksgiving, I'm going to eat more than I should, and kick some serious butt in mud football. My in-laws won't know what hit them.
