Final Report

It was *fine*. leela_cat, everyone LOVED your soup - even the five-year-old. In fact, she ate everything. Zoë, you see, loves turkey and as her Mitch is a vegetarian, she doesn't get it often. (Well, he does eat fish. He got tilapia tonight.)

The meat-free stuffing worked beautifully - I can recommend Imagine Vegetable broth. The turkey, once it was done, was delicious and moist, and I still have half it it to go.

And my sister-in-law is pregnant. She had to find the right blood pressure med - she has high blood pressure - but she has. She's about nine weeks along, she's feeling fine - much better than her first pregnancy - and. YAY! They're in their thirties, they've been married over a year and there's already a Zoë, and Jocelyn has her RN and can put school off for awhile, so it's perfect. And we get another niece or nephew to spoil. As is our job.

Best of luck to your sister-in-law! Let me know when she starts collecting *stuff* for this kid - I'll likely have some to give away. :)

I'm glad you had a good family gathering.

Thank you for that offer!

I don't think she will be collecting things, though. She holds by the belief that one doesn't start getting things for a baby until he or she is born.

How wonderful! A new member of the family! Congratulations!

And I'm glad Thanksgiving was good too!

I think my mother-in-law is happiest - this will be her first *genetic* grandchild, as opposed to via marriage (she adopted my father-in-law's daughter by his first marriage and there's my brother-in-law's stepdaughter.)
