Re: What are you preggos doing for turkey day?

We're going to my parents', but I'm in charge of all the baked good- I'm making stuffing (corn bread and white bread), a cranberry-walnut bread, pop-overs, pumpkin pie and an icebox cake. Ironically, since I am fairly certain I failed my 3hour glucose, it will likely be all the stuff I won't be eating

Re: What are you preggos doing for turkey day?

Hopefully giving birth,or have given birth and I am hanging with hubby and our little girl. But if nothing comes of it, we haven't a clue...its kinda hard to really plan anything and my loving divorced parents both want to take us out..so who knows!!

Re: What are you preggos doing for turkey day?

Our families are coming to our house (it's our first holiday in a house), but I am ordering all of the food except the turkey for the dinner.

I'm 38 weeks now, still working, and preparing a big meal was just too much. I was thinking about it a few weeks ago, but no more. So it should be a pretty relaxing day!

Re: What are you preggos doing for turkey day?

We are going to be alone together for thanksgiving, as we live in a diff. state from our parents, so though I don't and can't cook I will attempt to cook a turkey for us.

Our menu:
Turkey
Stuffing
mashed sweet potoes
corn

Lets hope I can figure this out!

Re: What are you preggos doing for turkey day?

I will be putting on my fanciest stretch pants and joining 40 of my relatives over at my grandmas house for an old fashioned eat fest.

Then I will sleep for two days as I almost always get a bad case of the "itis".

Re: What are you preggos doing for turkey day?

Staying home and relaxing and then going out to dinner with my parents, my MIL and my husband's aunt.

Looking so forward to the 4-day weekend!!!
