GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
I'm Canadian so we've already celebrated. My dad and I have a birthday coming up next week so we'll probably go out and celebrate with a nice dinner on the weekend.

H and I went to a "meet the midwives" session at our hospital the other night and it was great! We got to see all of the potential midwives that might be on call in the hospital and they had a Q&A. It was so assuring to hear that they have a little more of a holistic approach and they all seemed so supportive and lovely. I told H I loved them all!

We're going to my parent's in CT like we usually do but it's going to be much smaller this year because my grandma is in the hospital so my aunt and uncle are staying with her. It'll be us and my other uncle and cousin. My mom also fractured her elbow and shoulder falling at my house the other day and is having surgery today so I'm sure it'll be crazy even with the 6 of us. I'm planning on doing most of the cooking.

Going to MIL's to eat and probably watch movies after...and on 11/26 my Mom is hosting her Thanksgiving meal. So yay, I get fed twice
I'm a little frustrated with my H. He hasn't done any of his own research into pregnancy, labour, newborn care. I keep bringing it up and talking about my anxieties and preferences, but he doesn't really engage. I feel a little unsupported and sad about it. Does anyone have good ideas about how to bring a first time Dad into the loop? I told him about some books that were recommended, he said he would get the e-books. Hasn't happened. That being said he took a babywearing class with me and we are taking a cloth diapering class this weekend.

Another Canadian here.
GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving? For the first year since marriage, we don't have to stay out of town the whole 3 nights! We're driving 2.5 hours to Nashvegas on Thursday, coming back home (!!so excited!!) and then back to Nashville Saturday through Sunday night for Thanksgiving # 2 and #3. Then I fly to Chicago Monday at 6 AM, because, ya know, travel is exactly what I'll want to do

GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving? I am Canadian, so our Thanksgiving was in early October
28 weeks
size of a NINTENDO!!
November 30th... OB appointment and follow up ultrasound
Braxton hicks!! So not cool at all. I never noticed them with my first 2 and they are scary sometimes. And I've been going to bed earlier and earlier with naps again lol
I very much dislike the Braxton hicks. They feel weird and since that's what they are, it's kind of scary too.
GTKY: What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
UGH!! normally I'm all excited for Thanksgiving but this year I'm kind of a hermit, which I assume has to do with pregnancy. We always go to my mils earlier, then to my family's, in the early evening for desserts. My husband never wants to go, and this year I'd rather skip too, so we will go (I only care to see my grandma, it means a lot to her that the family gets together) but hopefully only stay 1 1/2 hrs at each house. My parents wont really care because there will be plenty of commotion going on anyway, and my mil will think we are rude, but that's ok because we always think she's rude lol.
@floatingelephy both my husband and I didn't do any research into anything pregnancy or birth related with our 1st (and 2nd lol) but this time I still have questions, so I do massive research lol, each pregnancy is different. My husband doesn't research anything, and I dont mind. However, when I talk to him about things he doesn't understand, he will ask me what it is. Example, he never heard of Braxton hicks so I had to explain what they are. Then today while I was having one, I had him feel how hard my belly gets, it lets him learn things, but without him doing anything. Also if your husband has no interest in research, and you decide not to put up a fight, just make sure you know what kind of support and comfort you will want along the way and during delivery. Just let him know things like.... *this is what I'll be going through and feeling, and this is what I want you to do when it happens* like for me once the contractions get bad, I don't want touched, and I dont want talked to in a baby voice during a contraction. It angers me so I'll tell my husband before I get too bad hey I love you, but don't distract me during contractions, and don't touch me anymore. It sounds mean, but I think we all get to that point if we don't have an epidural. These types of conversations will educate your husband without him having to put effort in.
Also my Braxton hicks still get weird, but nothing has been as bad as last Friday. I'm anxious for my follow up ultrasound just so I can know what's going on. Thanks @floatingelephy
