Thanksgiving 2006

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I'm here at work rather than enjoying a nice day off.

Yesterday's Thanksgiving was a good one, I thought, except for the drive to our destination. It was POURING the whole way to Renton. Thankfully, the way back home was much nicer weather-wise.

This year, the men were outside frying a turkey (which was quite tasty, I thought) while the women were inside doing other things. We had quite a bit of food (we even brought some home with us). It was quite good, but, unfortunately, I was starting to feel a little queasy while eating so I didn't get to eat too much (which I guess is a good thing). After eating, we played a quick game of Apples to Apples before Jon and I headed back home.

This morning, starting at a little before 1 a.m., I was really feeling nauseous. I slept on and off throughout the morning until the alarm went off at 6. Each time feeling worse nausea-wise. I really should have gone to get some crackers or something in my tummy, but I didn't. When the alarm went off, I told Jon how I was feeling and he was a nice husband and got me some crackers. I ate a couple until I felt o.k. enough for the PIO shot.

Then after a while, I got up to get ready to go to work...taking my time since I knew traffic wouldn't be too bad. It turns out, I could have stayed at home another 10 minutes or so as I got to work early despite leaving much later than I normally do. I get into work still feeling kinda blech, but much better than earlier in the day.

Then a coworker of mine says that she has a google blog alert set up to show whenever someone blogs about our employer, and guess what, she found my other blog. She told me she didn't read it, and I told her that I didn't say anything bad about the company. I was just complaining about the traffic situation on Wednesday. I was just a tad embarrassed.

Anyway, at lunch today, we are having a little potluck that a couple of us thought of doing. Everyone said that they thought this was a good idea, so maybe we'll do this again next year when we all have to come into work the day after Thanksgiving. However, once again, after eating just a little bit, my tummy got really upset with me. I just cannot win - it's either I've eaten too much (which I don't think I've done) or not enough. I guess this comes with the territory.

Only 3 more days until the ultrasound. I cannot wait! I don't want to wish my weekend away, but I really want to know how many are in there and if we hear a heartbeat (or two).
