Update

It's been extremely busy these last few weeks...of course, with the holiday. I was really worried that I would be disgusted by all of the meat or something else at dinner, but it actually wasn't too bad. I couldn't eat the ham because for some reason it looked raw to me, which of course, is silly because ham isn't raw. But everything else was really good. Overall, I've been feeling pretty well. I even cooked last night! With meat!! :) I made my spaghetti sauce with turkey meatballs. For some reason, that sounded really good to me and I even ate a normal sized portion instead of changing my mind at the last minute and thinking that it didn't actually sound good. Why does that happen? It's so weird! I have been getting really worn out lately too. It seems like I try to do a few things around the house and I can't finish them all the way because I'm exhausted. All I did yesterday was unload, then load the dishwasher, wash the pots, pans, etc and went grocery shopping. Then I did 5 loads of laundry and then we went to see a movie. When I got home I could barely carry myself to the couch! I had planned to clean the bathroom, too but I was just too tired. I'm not used to not being able to do my normal routines.

Our plan for New Year's is the same as every other year...crab legs and prime rib. I'm just not sure how much crab I can eat. Normally, I can eat my weight in crab, but as far as how much is safe to eat when I'm pregnant, I don't know. Something to look into!

Our next doctor visit is on January 4th. I will be getting another ultrasound where we should be able to see the heartbeat and they should be able to give us a better estimate on when I'm due. I'm really excited! I feel like it's been a long time since my first ultrasound/appointment and I'm just anxious to see the little one growing in my belly! :) I can't wait for the ultrasounds when we can see actual features! :)

I keep thinking that I have a baby bump now, but in reality, I think it's just wishful thinking. ;) Or maybe there is a bump, but it's from Christmas dinner! Ha, ha!! :)

Several people have mentioned to me that I should print these blog entries out and create a little book for the baby. I think I'm going to do that. I want it to look really professional though. I'll have to figure out a good way to do that.

That's the update. I'll probably write again after our next appointment. :)
