Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!
Christmas Eve was good. I spent it with my family and Alex at my grandparents house where I have spent it almost every Christmas since I was born. We ate, laughed, opened presents and just had fun. Christmas is definitely one of my favorite holidays!
Now for Christmas Day, we went back to my grandparents house and had the traditional Christmas dinner then headed to Stafford to his parents and had another dinner there. I didn't eat much but it was better than Thanksgiving because it was just his parents and brother. His other family members weren't there to give me nasty looks and make me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
His mother gave us some stuff for the baby and the fifth season of Dexter.
Until next year...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Well, not so happy for me. Although I did see my family and have a good time it wasn't a typical Thanksgiving for me. It was my first Thanksgiving I have been pregnant and I was really hoping and getting excited about pigging out. Boy was I wrong on two different counts.
One: I could not pig out because being 8 months pregnant my body does not like that. If I eat too much I get sick. Not to mention that oh so awesome morning sickness had come back.
And...
Two: I had my 3 hour glucose test a couple of days before and would receive the results until next week so I had to be cautious just in case I did have gestational diabetes. It was unlikely that I would have gestational diabetes because I only failed my one hour by a couple of points but just to be safe I didn't eat too much.
After we saw my family we went to see Alex's family and I did not eat anything there but of course Alex did. It was so awkward for me. They all stared at me like I had five heads and acted like they didn't want me there. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. At least it's done... until Christmas that is.
