Christmas & Pregnancy Update

Well, the yuckiness has started. I started feeling yucky on Monday (4 days ago), which was about 7 weeks. I haven't thrown up yet, but sometimes I wonder if it would make me feel better! I feel like I am starving but I quickly fill up and then feel crummy. If I haven't eaten in a while I feel like I could throw up and nothing sounds good to eat. I hope this phase doesn't last very long!

On a side note, Christmas is now over and Rob and I agree that it was the weirdest Christmas ever. We had a terrible storm which knocked out our power for almost four hours, making for a very cold Christmas morning. We got a TON of snow and it took Rob forever to shovel our driveway. We got stuck several times on the way to Rob's parents' house and then it seemed like the rest of the day was spent in a hurry, trying to get places. Not too relaxing. We have decided that maybe next year is the year to scale down our Christmas Day traveling. It is starting to become too much to try to make it to both parents' houses.

Despite all that, it was still a great Christmas. Tate was so much fun to watch. As soon as he opened a gift, he wanted it out of the box so he could play with it. He didn't like to put it down and move on to unwrapping another gift. He loved his basketball hoop the most and was spoiled by everyone. The highlight of my Christmas this year, was being able to be together with all of my siblings at one time. It only lasted for about 10 minutes, but it was wonderful. It has been almost SEVEN YEARS since it happened last, and I am sure it will be another long while before it happens again.

Adam, Kevin, Bryan, Charity and me!
