So...um...yeah

So, I apparently have a blog, huh? It's amazing how life changes and things that once were so important fall by the wayside.

My last post feels like ancient history now. I went back and read through these posts and just about cried. My baby girl who's existence started this blog is going to be five years old next month. How in the world did that happen? Reading through this, I remember that pregnancy. There are so many things that I thought was so important then, now just seems insignificant.

I tell you one thing, that little bundle of energy has kept us on our toes for these five years! Maybe one day I'll catch the blogosphere up on our extended absence. The Cliffs Notes version: Alison has completed our family and we have had a rocky road thus far. Nothing horrendous, just life and all its weird jokes.

In a nutshell, Husband is still in the military. Different location and now active duty but no deployments! I am still at Towson University plugging away. Carter is rounding out his second grade year. Ali is loving life at her current in-home daycare. She is so excited to be starting kindergarten next fall. Wait, what?!?! Kindergarten?!?! As hard as it may be for me to say goodbye to her next fall, she is completely ready for it.

I'm going to promise to come back here again soon. Maybe I will change this blog up a bit and make it a bit more interesting. For now, I'll leave these two precious halflings right here.

It's Christmas time!!

I'm currently listening to Lite 101.9's Christmas music. Yes, I am one of the annoying people that love the music even before Thanksgiving!!

So, apparently, this little bean sprout does not like scrambled eggs. I made some on Saturday morning and was regretting it later. I didn't puke, but oy my tummy hurt!!

Things have been going just fine. I'm still maintaining the same weight for the most part but my pants are getting a bit tighter. I bought me two pair of pants last week and will probably have to get more before Christmas. I was hoping I could wait until then and just ask for some gift cards but oh well. Shirt wise, I'm okay for a while still. Many of my sweaters and all are big enough to allow a bit of growth. It's just the pants that are frustrating.

My next appointment is December 3rd. Which is actually closer than I realized. I think at this one we will get to hear the heartbeat. I told Chris he didn't have to come, but he wants to.

That's all I have for now. It's a short work week and I'm already checked out. It's going to be a long two days!

Quick gripe

One thing I don't like about Blogger...they don't tell you when you have new comments! That's what I love about LiveJournal. Anytime anyone comments on a post, I get an email. And when someone comments on a comment, I get that too! Oh well.

Well, I'm now a few days past eight weeks. I still haven't gotten sick. I'm not feeling the nausea either anymore so that is good. But, it does kick in if I haven't eaten in a while. Like today, my class is from 11-12:15. At oh, 11:55, I got hungry. And of course, I forgot to get a bag of chips or anything to snack on. So, by the time I got back to the office, I was famished and not feeling too well. But, I got some nasty Towson food and was fine.

I do have yet another cold. I'm starting to wish they could come out with a cold shot to maybe knock out a few of the many strains that seem to find me! So, I've been all congested and sore. The soreness is compounded with the aches and pains that are starting with this.

Chris gave me a bit of a back massage last night. I think I am going to have to invest in some pregnancy massages because if this is hurting already this bad...wow!

Weight wise, I have dropped a few pounds. That's good. I really would love it if I didn't gain until well into the pregnancy. I have quite a bit to spare, so hopefully that won't be hard. I'm not actually dieting and I have actually been eating more than I was before, but as of right now, it's not adding on. So, we'll see!

One more week

Next Monday is my first appointment! Lovely.

Last week was a crappy one for me. I just was in a strange slump and feeling down. I felt a bit queasy some days, but not completely nauseous. But, today I feel a bit better.

I went to water aerobics tonight. I'm not sure if I will be able to do that next semester. I may see if there is a prenatal pilates class at Essex or something. We'll see.

My cousin gave me her maternity clothes to go through. Yeah, I won't be able to wear much. Besides the fact that I can't even fit into any of the pants, all of the shirts are short sleeved. I have a few short sleeves on hold for the end of it all, but I will have to pick up some long sleeves and some pants eventually. I need to find some "cheap" plus sized clothes.

Okay, that's it for now. I'm so tired, I hope I can last for Heroes!
