Crawling

Time is really seeming to crawl these days. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm now anxious to find out the gender of my baby. Now that I'm *basically* out of my first trimester (almost), I feel like I can breathe easier and get excited about all the fun stuff. But of course, many things in life are a waiting game. Right now...it's for gender revelation and the beginning of buying stuff to prepare for our little one. I just really don't want to until we know for sure. My next appointment (and possible gender reveal) is in 3 weeks. That seems like forever away. On top of all this, we have Christmas to get through. I don't mean to sound like a Grinch, but it's hard to really get excited about it when this is the first Christmas 750 miles away from family. We will make the best of it though, and enjoy our first Christmas together. It's not something we can re-do. I guess if I had a little more energy and was able to get the apartment spotless clean and Christmasy, then it would help. But alas, the little one drains me. I still spend alot of time sleeping or napping. I can't wait to get to the time in pregnancy where I have energy and want to "nest"...or clean like a psycho. So yeah, I do feel guilty for not being in the Christmas mood. I am thrilled to be with my husband, I really am. And he has been amazingly supportive since this season is kind of hard on me this year. Pregnancy hormones+family forever away+Christmas= not so much fun. One thing I do have to say is how thankful to God I am for my husband and my wonderful, sweet friend Kelsey. God put her here and in my life because I needed to a friend like her. We have become sisters in such a short time and I am so blessed. Plus, we get to go through everything together :-) God is good!

Anyways, not a whole lot else to say. I'm tired. What's new? Just gotta roll with the punches!
