I've always been a fan of Thanksgiving - it is probably my favorite holiday. I remember deciding that I liked Thanksgiving best when I was about 7 or 8 and the reasons why. For one, we always went to my mom's parents' house on Thanksgiving and Grandmama made sure to have the tree up (albeit with no presents - too early!) and to put on a huge spread including my absolute favorite, pumpkin pie. Grandmama's house was always the best Thanksgiving ever.
In fact, her Thanksgiving was a lot like her Christmas, excepting that at Thanksgiving, we knew that we still had Christmas coming. She would take canned cranberry sauce (without the whole berries) out of the can and slice it into circles. Then we were allowed to take these little cookie cutters (I'm still not sure what they actually were for, since I'm pretty sure now that they weren't for cookies) and cut shapes out of the cranberry sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I really miss our traditional holidays - so I'm sitting here writing this with all of my Christmas scented candles lit and Christmas music on the radio.
I know this doesn't really have much to do with the baby, but I've been thinking about the kinds of traditions I'd like to have for our family and feeling nostalgic. Also, we will be telling his family on Thanksgiving (and hopefully mine too, but I still haven't figured out a way to do so seeing as we probably won't be flying down to FL over Christmas). I think I will have to get out my decorations today (Joe is gone right now).
As to other news, this week has been very long and tiring. I was feeling sickish last weekend and attributed it to morning sickness, but Tuesday morning I woke up with a cold, feeling achy and fluey and sick to my stomach. I went in to work (although looking back, I should have stayed home) because I thought I was just morning sick and had caught the cold from Lauren and McKenzie. Well, I did catch the cold from them, but I caught the flu from them as well. Thank goodness I don't have to deal with being that sick for another 3 months. I really don't think I could have done it and still worked, and I have a great amount of respect for women that push through it. Fortunately, after Tuesday I felt a lot better, although I still am fighting the cold.
Food really looks awful to me now, I feel hungry all the time but not really. It's like I have a gnawing ache in my stomach all the time unless I eat and then it goes away for about 30 minutes. I have been surviving on Gatorade because I can sip it and I swear it is the best thing in the world! My pants are getting tight, but I think it is because my butt is HUGE! What is with that? I can deal with the stomach getting big, but I have a badonkadonk now and my tummy is still fairly flat. I bought my first maternity item last night, a long shirt that doesn't even look maternity and frankly I would wear not pregnant as well. I go in Monday morning for an ultrasound and hopefully we will see a heartbeat! I will post pictures of the u/s photos then.
Joe had an interview with the company that he worked for while in college yesterday. His work situation has gotten worse with his semi-boss and both he and I feel he could excel in a different environment. His current job hired a new guy to take over, (his semi-boss was temporarily filling in until the position was filled) and the new guy starts Monday, so hopefully the situation currently will get better. If not, it looks like his old company would love to have him back and it would be as a project manager over teams of student developers, or Software Systems Engineer (I think that is what he called it - it was that or Systems Development Engineer). At any rate, the pay would be better, his boss would be his old boss whom he likes, and the title is WAY better. Fingers crossed!
Ok, I'm off to get my decorations out!
