I am horrendously late writing about our Christmas, but with morning sickness ironically all day except in the morning, I just haven't felt up to it. I just finished a 2 hour long nap, though, so I'm feeling okay. :)
On Christmas Eve, Tim and I drove around checking out the Christmas light displays. Some were really fantastic...much better then our pitiful strand along the eves lol. After that we came home, snuggled up and watched White Christmas.
Christmas morning we opened our gifts from each other and from the family, spending some time admiring each one. I got a $25 gift certificate to half.com to put a small dent in my wish list from Tim, a beautifully framed picture of Tim and I from Lindy, a cookbook from Grammy's soroptomists, fudge, several kitchen odds and ends, a stir-fry pan from Tim and he also got me a George Foreman grill...and something else from Mom and Dad that for the life of me I can't remember right now!
I got Tim a really neat mini terrarium with a couple fly-traps and a sun-dew, and he got a terrarium filter/pump from Grammy and a gift card from Mom and Dad to a terrarium shop to get the rest of the stuff he needs...Now all he needs is an old glass aquarium! :) Josh got him a cool shadow box type frame with a 3 really good pics of Tim in it. It's really neat.
After we opened presents I made our ham and off we went to our friends apartment to have Christmas dinner with everyone. It was a lot of fun...Everyone brought something and we got a lot of visiting in. Dinner went REALLY late (we were supposed to eat around 3...didn't eat 'til 5 or so) so by the time the party was really starting to begin, I was starting to fade a bit and feel my evening morning sickness. So, we ended up heading home early, and early to bed (at least I did :).
On the 27th we had our second ultrasound to estimate the baby's due date more accurately, and to make sure it was growing and sure enough it was. :) The due date is still August 11th, but what really impressed me was last ultrasound, only a week before, the baby measured 5 days smaller then our estimated due date, but now, the little one measured a day bigger so I guess it made up for lost time! :) The spotting has also stopped, so all looks as it should. It was so cute to see the little one...it kind of looks like a gummy bear - a big head and stubby arms and legs lol. I am now 8 weeks, entering my 9th so I am going to take a picture of my tummy to have something of a base line. I'm not really showing, but I'm definitely a bit thicker then I normally am and often have to unbutton the top of my pants when I sit. For a baby that's only about 1.6cm long, it sure likes to have stretching room. :)
The bane of my current existence is my sense of smell. It is RIDICULOUSLY strong now. :( I can smell everything, and unfortunately, Georgia is not known for good smells. It is rather miserable, and I guess I'm kind of caught off guard because this is one of those symptoms I didn't really expect.
Well, I've got to go find something to eat that doesn't illicit a gag reflex. :) Love you all.
