14 Weeks THANKSGIVING!!! =)

So it's Thanksgiving week! I was so excited to eat Thanksgiving dinner! It is my favorite meal on the planet! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes with roasted marshmallows on top, crescent rolls and cranberry sauce! It doesn't get much better than that! We had a preThanksgiving feast at our house the Sunday before Thanksgiving so that we could celebrate with Dan's family. I think that 2 Thanksgiving's is pretty much the best idea ever. We shall repeat this, just so we can eat that delicious dinner again surrounded by those we love.

We had a wonderful time in Michigan. It is always great to see family that you don't get see often enough. We had a family wedding the Friday after Thanksgiving and it was SO fun to tell so many people that we are expecting a boy! We loved every moment of it. =)

Unfortunately, whether it be the routine change, or lack of sleep my wonderfully loved feelings of well-being were fleeting. Before we even touched down in Michigan I was super nauseated. We made it off the plane just in time to see some food. I sent Dan immediately over to get some for me. It was too late. One bite, two bites, didn't matter. I was done for. I searched frantically for a bathroom, only to find it was closed with a security guard there blocking my entrance and everything! Gotta love Metro Airport! The security guard pointed me in the direction of the next bathroom, way too far away for me to make it too. So my only option was to get sick next to a window, with everyone being nosey and staring. My poor husband tried to stand guard and make a barrier with the luggage, but we still had gawkers.

This carried on throughout the trip. I was nauseous all day everyday and sensitive to hearing about/smelling/or even thinking about foods all over again. It was not fun. Especially since we have so many restaurants there that we love and make sure to stop at every time we are home. That didn't stop us though. We stopped at the usual places: 7-11 for some well needed slurpees. Delicious. National Coney Island Hani Specials. The famous Apple pancakes from The Pantry. Gross White Castle for Dan. Mongolian Barbeque and the always amazing Beirut Palace. My mouth is watering just typing it. The sad thing for me was that all this food that I love so dearly all tasted different. Everything tastes different. I am SO particular now, it is literally ridiculous. Much to my dismay, everything I bit into I found something that didn't taste right. :( It was a sad state of affairs.

I also have hyper-gag reflex. If I don't swallow my pills on the first go, or sometimes even if I cough too hard, projectile emesis everywhere. :(  I can barely brush my teeth. What can you do? I am so excited to be pregnant, that I don't even care.

The trip, as always, was way too short. We can't wait til we can take baby boy there! We were sad that it didn't snow, but we were so thankful to be able to spend the Holiday with family. We love you guys!
