An Update about Nothing!

I can't believe it's almost been a week since I posted anything! No worries. As far as I know, all is continuing to go without incident. I'm certainly feeling what is typical for my pregnancies - tired, bloated, totally scatterbrained... but luckily I have, so far, *knock on wood* avoided any yuckiness that would be worth mentioning. I felt much more sick with Eli than with any of my other pregnancies. I have a theory about that. I wonder if the Clomid preps my body for the hormone rush so I don't really experience morning sickness to the extent that I did with my one unmedicated conception. Eh, just a thought, who knows, but I'm not complaining!

I've been preparing for Thanksgiving, which I'm hosting again this year and is fine by me. I can cook and the kids sleep so much better in their own beds. I've been working on holiday card orders that are rolling in and even got it together and have ours finished and on the way. The Christmas shopping is almost done which also feels great. It's been nice having something to keep my mind busy.

It's also been strange to continue to schedule appointments for the future. This week I made my appointment for my NT scan for December 31st. It's hard to keep the thoughts of "why are you even bothering to make the appointment?" out of my head. I just keep reminding myself that this is a different pregnancy. It is. I am trying to enjoy every day and every moment. We have let our guard down and discussed names, room arrangements, bedding thoughts and all of that fun stuff. I am a habitual planner so not doing some of those things would probably make me break out in a cold sweat. It's good. I should be doing those things.

I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's hard to be thankful for the path that my life has taken this past year but I am thankful for where I am now and thankful for those who I have reconnected with and for those who have prayed for me and lifted me up through this time. Without going through the things that I have, I wouldn't have those things to be thankful for.
