A Couple Glimpses into the Lives of the Mangums

There aren't too many updates, but it's been a while, so I thought I would try to come up with something.

About a week ago, I felt the first baby movements. It was really exciting, so now my new hobby is trying to feel the baby kick.

Did we post about Halloween? Sam and I dressed up as Batman and Robin. We hung out with some friends until very late at night, which we really enjoyed-- until the next day at work when I felt like a zombie.


We found out that my oldest sister, Amy, who is three-weeks-ahead-of-me pregnant is having a boy. She has three girls, so they are especially excited for this one to spice things up. Sam and I are anxiously awaiting our appointment two weeks from yesterday when we will find out if we are having a boy or girl. Today's predictions are that I think we are having a boy, and Sam thinks we are having a girl. Truth be told, neither of us really has any idea whatsoever. It's driving us nuts. We even considered going to Fetal Fotos so we didn't have to wait so long. But then we remembered that we are poor college students, and we can wait two more weeks.

I am getting really excited for Thanksgiving. It will be low key at my parents' house this year. My sister Amy and my brother Scott will be staying home in California, and my sister Lindsay has to work that day (she's a labor and delivery nurse at UVRMC). So, for the majority of the day, it will just be me, Sam, my parents, and my sister Whitney. I think it will be a great break for me. I am looking forward to spending time with my parents and with Sam.

Other than that, things are just the same as they always are! We went to a ward Thanksgiving party last night and I made homemade cranberry sauce, stuffing, and gravy. I was so proud of myself! Sam made a turkey, which I think deserves some praise as well. It turned out great! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We hope you have a great holiday.
