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...

Hello, baby Headley!
Just a quick update on baby Aubrey.
I had an ultrasound today and she is measuring two weeks ahead. My little chunk! But everything is still looking good.

To the hospital... oh joy!
Alex and I decided to go see his grandmother in Christiansburg for the weekend because he hadn't seen her in a while. We went down there on a Friday and we were going to leave on a Sunday but then found out Alex had off so we decided to stay an extra day. We ate out a lot that weekend and went shopping so all and all it was a good weekend until Sunday night.
On Sunday night we were watching a movie and I got what seemed to be indigestion but it kept getting worse. A couple of hours later it really hurt so I decided to take some tums and lie down but that made it worse. Fifteen minutes later I was on the bathroom floor and crying because I was in so much pain. I felt like I was having a heart attack and couldn't breathe. I also kept vomiting and just could not catch my breath no matter what I did. Alex called an ambulance but after I had vomited I felt better so he called them and said nevermind. Twenty minutes later it happened again and this time we went straight to the hospital.
His grandmother said she thought it was my gallbladder but the hospital didn't even check that out. They hooked me up to the monitor to check on baby Aubrey and took a sample of my pee to check for Preeclampsia which came back fine. So I was sent home not knowing what had happened. I just hope it doesn't happen again.

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.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!!
Today Alex and I got married. I know what you are probably thinking. You're thinking, "Did she say married? On Halloween? Who does that?" This girl! I have always loved Halloween and the fall so getting married today was perfect and even more perfect that I actually married someone who agreed to marry me on Halloween.
It was a short ceremony probably less than 20 minutes. Just a quick, "I do," ring exchange and a kiss. That's how I wanted it. I've never been the wedding type of girl. I didn't see the point in planning something so huge that would last not even a full night and ultimately leave you practically broke in the end. I just wanted to get married and it didn't really matter how small it was.
I originally just wanted it to be Alex and myself in a private little ceremony but Alex being Alex had to invite his parents and grandfather so that led to me having to invite my Mom and her husband, my sister and her husband and my niece. It was on a Monday so only a few select people could come to begin with.
After the ceremony we went out to eat. We had the typical tradition of cutting the cake and smashing it in each others faces. Alex even got it up my nose and the owner's looked at us horrified because of the mess we made.
Once we left the restaurant we began our honeymoon which was also our babymoon. Nothing fancy, just me and him staying overnight together. We had a little scare which led to a quick trip to the emergency room where I was told everything was fine, I was just a little irritated from doing too much... you know. :X
Not the traditional type of wedding.
We look happy. Well, I look high but happy nonetheless.
Cutting the cake.
CAKE SMASH!!
