Today was a different Thanksgiving than we've had before. One thing I've learned with a husband in the Navy, is that we don't always get to celebrate holidays on the actual holiday and that's where we are this Thanksgiving. But nonetheless, it has been a wonderful day. Curtis let me sleep till almost 7. Isaac came home midmorning and spent a few minutes with us before going up to bed. Curtis and I watched the Thanksgiving Parade, which I hope becomes a tradition cause I really enjoyed it. We skyped with both Isaac's family and my family. And now, Isaac and I get to enjoy a few hours without Curtis since he goes to bed so early. It's not been a normal holiday, but it has been wonderful. I got some snuggle time with my little man, which never happens cause he is not a snuggler anymore. I got to talk to my Grandma and she got to see Curtis' smiling face. And I got to spend the afternoon with the 2 people I love most. And bonus, I have not been too nauseous today thanks to Zofran. It has been a lovely day.
We do get to actually celebrate on Saturday, which I am looking so forward to. We always do holidays with some friends who moved up here with Isaac from Charleston. They have 2 little ones as well, so it should be a fun, loud, and crazy afternoon/night of eating and celebrating.
How far along: 15weeks
Total weight gain/loss:I'm still not able to always eat a lot, and never actually finish breakfast, so I'm not really sure if I've gained, but I find out next week at my 16 wks appt.
Maternity clothes:I'm pretty much just in maternity clothes. I finally do have some more pants, b/c I was wearing and washing the same pair for almost a month.
Stretch marks: None so far.
Best moment this week: Snuggling with Curtis after his nap time today
Miss anything: Coffee, Although I think I may try to drink some this week since I am beginning to feel better.
Movement:I keep expecting any day now to feel some little flutters.
Food cravings: Steak and pizza. I could eat steak all the time if we could afford it.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still a lot of stuff makes me queasy, but it's not as bad. Random smells, having a baby still in diapers is not easy, especially since we do cloth diapers and I have to clean the diapers. Running pregnancy tests at the clinic is not easy. Feeding Baxter is hard when Isaac isn't here.
Have you started to show yet: I feel like I've been showing for a while, but it could have just still been Curtis, but I do definitely have a little bump.
Gender: Hopefully we find out in December
Labor Signs: None
Symptoms: Nausea/vomitting and fatigue are the most noticeable, but I do get bad headaches, probably from dehyration, as well.
Belly button in or out: In for now.
Wedding rings on or off: on
Happy or Moody most of the time:I think I'm happy most of the time, but I am exhausted so the happy is probably understated.
Looking forward to: Dinner Saturday night and celebrating with friends
