Life seems to be going slowly but SO quickly. Today I am 15 weeks along with munchkin love. I am so paranoid this pregnancy & consistently fear something is wrong. I don't feel pregnant anymore, I don't have the nausea & such. In the morning I have sore boobs but they go away. I have an appt today but it's a physical. I don't know if they'll do the Doppler, even if I ask. I need to hear his/her heartbeat, I need to know he/she is ok. At the same time, if something is wrong do I really want to find out right before Christmas. I'm already sad we're not home with family and it just doesn't feel like Christmas here. It looks like Christmas but doesn't feel like it. So, in a nutshell, I'm worried about baby and anxious about today. I had a stomach flu early last week & I lost a nice chunk of weight. I was down 20 lbs(from pre-pregnancy). I gained back 5. Grrr! Then again, I literally had nothing in my stomach for 24 hrs & could barely eat for another day. I guess shows you what a pig I am to gain back so much in so little time. Waa Waa! I'm still, according to our scale, down 15 lbs. I HOPE the doctor scale shows at least a few lbs lost.
Christmas. Well, it does look like it here. Our stockings are hung, we have a decorated tree & presents under it. Our front door is decorated/has lights. The mantel had lights but they decided to die 2 days ago so up. We have Christmas decorations up too & a mini tree with lights. I would be listening to more Christmas music but my hubby is a butthead & hates it. Stupid boys! We got stuff to make a nice little meal on Christmas too. It just doesn't feel like Christmas is 2 days away. Just doesn't feel special. And maybe that's because I know in a week we start the process of moving our home. Packing & moving & new home! I am stressed about that.
Katie is still my spitfire & full of energy. She now will repeat songs from her shows. She's been eating REALLY great lately, that's so awesome. I hope it keeps up because she needs to gain weight. Even I'm worried now. 2 lbs in 5 months is not a lot.
Well, that's about it. Have a great day & a Merry Christmas!

December
It has officially been 1 year since we left Sierra Vista, Az & I super miss my old life. I miss my friend & her son. I know she'd have my back & be my shoulder during this pregnancy. Oh well. Anyways, Katie is getting so big & I think she's grown a little more. I need to measure her but I do know the scale showed her weighing 22 lbs. Big girl! She's mostly back to happy go lucky but with pain in the butt mixed in. I left Katie with a babysitter/a friend on Tuesday for my appt and she did amazing. She had no problem with left with someone she barely knows. Good & bad I know. The other day I was getting water from the fridge & Katie saw the ultrasound on the fridge. She said "my baby" & pointed up at the us. It surprised me because we're told her about being a big sister & we're talked a little about it but it's not like an every day thing. It just surprised me she randomly pointed to the us & talk me that's her baby. :)
So, my first appt with new doctor was Tuesday & I have mixed feelings on it. I hate doctors telling me & insisting I'm going to have a hard pregnancy because of my size. He said I had a hard one last time & I did not. I had a few blips & ended up with pre-eclampsia the last 2-3 weeks but I don't consider that bad. He's going to highly monitor me since Katie was small. Again, she was small but she wasn't preemie or ever in NICU. She was completely healthy. So, whatever dude. I guess I won't complain about getting monthly ultrasounds after 20 weeks. :) Getting to see munchkin every month, watching him/her grow will be nice. I passed my glucose test but apparently doc wants me on a sugar free diet. Also to lose weight. So, after being annoyed with him I decided he just wants what's best for baby & for a easier healthier pregnancy. So, ok. I've been really watching what I eat & staying away from extra sugar. According to my scale I've lost almost 12 lbs in 3 months. I'll just keep it up. Maybe I'll keep getting the nausea that keeps me only eating a little. It sort of tells me "ok, enough, stop eating or I'll make you super nauseous". I'm talking like 1.5 eggs, 3/4 of my sandwich plus tomatoes & cucumber slices, etc. I can still eat, just not as much as before. Good for weight loss.
Well, I guess that's about all. I'll leave Katie's Christmas photo. It wasn't really what I wanted to do but we were having crappy weather & I needed to finish Christmas presents. Maybe we'll have a good day for more photos but I'll probably stick with the ones I did. :)

What's new? Well, I passed my glucose test. My number weren't as good as last time but they're still within range & I have some wiggle room so if they do go up I will hopefully be ok. Monday I did the test & she said "if they're really bad, they'll call today". I get a missed call from the hospital & I almost bawled. I freaked out because they'd only call if really bad, my gosh they're really bad. It wasn't even about the glucose test, it was about them passing me off to another doctor. "We don't think we can handle the complications we expect to arise". Well, screw you. So now I'm being seen in the complete opposite direction of town. Well my first apt is on Tuesday. Reviews say he's a great doctor but his staff are rude/bitches so we'll see. At Bach(on post) kids are allowed & new place they are not. That sucks & opens a whole new bag of issues. Ugh!
I am 12 weeks along with munchkin & supposedly he/she is .5 oz & 2 inches long. Grow baby grow. My nausea has come back. We went to my brother's for Thanksgiving & I had very very few symptoms and that really worried me. Came home & bam, nauseous. Great! Also my breast hurt again. I think those are good signs at least. :) Katie was a pain in the butt in Ks & has continued to be. She is SO darn whiney all the time. At times nothing you do is right. She wants down, no she wants up, no she wants down. She wants in the middle apparently. If you don't do it right it's a total meltdown. We are seriously going to lose our minds with her. I miss my always happy go lucky kid. She still has those moments & they are so welcome. Terrible 2's or teething, what ever it is I hope it's time is almost over or at least a break in them is in store.
We found out on Monday that our landlord is raising the rent which we can't really afford SO we're moving in January. Right now it looks like we'll end up on post but we have til the end of December to decide & sign papers. I am SO darn stressed with this move & I know stress is so bad. All that needs to happen keeps going through my mind & I want to start packing/moving now! I partly don't want to decorate for Christmas but I know I need too. January will be for packing & moving, I need to make Christmas great for Katie. And for myself because I will definitely miss being home for Christmas.
Well I guess that's about all. This seems to be turning into my everything blog instead of just about kids. Oh well, it'll get back to just about kids. :)
