Mental Note: Think, then speak.

I really put my foot in my mouth last night.

Josh and I were watching a movie, recovering from Thanksgiving dinner. We were watching Speed Racer. In the middle of the movie, COMPLETELY KIDDING, I said, "I'm surprised you don't like the name Speed for the baby." Good job, me. Josh is convinced that that is the best middle name ever. Mostly because this is what he believes: it would provide the baby, if it were a boy, with the best line ever. "Speed is my middle name." Literally.

I kept telling him that I was kidding, but the damage is done. I told him we're going to take a vote over the holidays (please vote with me, not with him!).

Unless I get lucky and accidentally say something just as awesome to him to change his mind.

Turkeys!

Today is Thanksgiving! Yay!

I'm excited to eat (a lot). I've been looking forward to mashed potatoes all week and now that our cheesecake is made, I'm excited for that also. Mostly, I'm excited that my migraine that I've had since Monday night is gone and I will most likely be able to eat without throwing up ;)

Here's my list of things I'm thankful for:
~Joshua
~my parents
~my brothers
~my inlaws
~my friends
~the whole miracle of life thing
~an excuse to eat all day and not feel bad about it ;)
~2 jobs that (usually) love
~my dog
~ice cream, olives, and pickles of any sort...oh and pasta. I like noodles.

Oh....and as of tomorrow, we're 15 weeks along. The 25 weeks that are left seem like a long ways away, but I imagine that it'll go pretty fast. The first 15 have flown by and dragged at the same time. At least it helps me keep track of how far into the school year I am ;)

One week!

For the first time in I don't know how long I've gone a whole week without being nauseous in general or getting carsick. Yay for B6 and Unisom!

May 22nd, 2009.

Thursday was our first doctor's appointment. It was crazy to hear the baby's heartbeat! I made a joke about how it was only one, and the doctor says that if it were twins or something we wouldn't be able to tell for a couple months yet. I don't expect it to be more than one, but imagine the craziness if there was! There's a good chance I'd pass out right then and there.

I've still been sickish, but it's better controlled if I eat every couple hours. And actually, now I'm test driving a vitamin B6/Unisom regimen that's supposed to help. About the time it starts really working for me, hopefully I'll be done with the nauseousness. That would be lovely.

Oh, so as of today we are 12 weeks and 2 days along. That means there's still a lot of days/weeks left. Bleh.
