Not much longer

Well, we have hit the point where we are going to see the doctor every two weeks now. My thyroid has gone down a bit and I don't have diabetes, but I do have low iron. Now I have another pill I have to take. I am a pharmacy now. Lucky me. I thought this won't hit until I was a grandparent. Oh well, teach James early. Our next appointment is Nov. 2nd. We also went in for an ultrasound and everything looks great. She is growing just great. She is almost 3 pounds. She wasn't very happy either because we woke her up. She was kicking me up a storm. Not a happy baby. But good news is that we are on WIC now. That will help a lot. We were the last people there on Wednesday night. It was super quiet and the staff was cleaning when we were leaving. At least we have some stuff to get food. I will be eating it mostly but I don't think James is too upset. He seems to be handling it ok right now. We are excited for Thanksgiving. It will be our first as a married couple. I will be cooking dinner, which I am nervous about, but I am happy too. After Thanksgiving, we turn our heads to Christmas, which I will be making homemade potato soup and having bread bowls. A tradition I want to do. My mama started it a few years ago and I love it. The soup is so good. I just hope I can make it as well as she does. I guess we will see. At least I can call her and ask for help. She won't be able to be here but I think with her help and her being on the phone, I will be able to do it. This will be the first Christmas alone as a married couple. We are going to start our own traditions which I am happy about. But that is what is going on right now. Nothing really new yet. Hoping for pictures soon still. I need to get over this extra fat thing. I know, it is good fat. If I hear it one more time, I just might scream and I don't think James will be very happy about that. Anyways, I will keep you posted as time goes on.
