I've joined the crazy dreams group. I remember last pregnancy, I had these really detailed dreams about DH having an affair to the point that I was mad at him! He was a very good sport about it and it became a sort of joke with us, but it was SO vivid it felt real. Last night I was back in the room where I spent part of my childhood and it was haunted and scary things kept happening and I was screaming for my mom to come and get me, but she didn't believe me it was haunted. I woke up so scared; it took me awhile to go back to sleep, even knowing I am not a helpless kid, not in that room, and had my husby, son, and best good dog all in bed with me.
I had an u/s on Monday and to my surprise/delight, I was actually 8 weeks instead of 7 with an EDD of 7/29. i don't put a ton of stock into the date for birthing purposes, but if it means first trimester is over sooner: i'm for that! I guess my sickness/HCG will probably spike over Christmas, but I am just eager to get through the nausea hell. It lasted a long time with my first, but still: one week closer!
How are y'all feeling about Christmas? I am slightly panicked about my in-laws coming. Our house is cramped under the best circumstances, but unlike usual, I have zero energy for cleaning, cooking (not to mention repulsion by most food)- which I usually do all of, and setting up the guest room and air bed for my SIL. My SIL is very sweet, but she has absolutely no understanding/sympathy for/compassion for my pregnant self or very similar to my FIL is just kind of clueless. I could be collapsed on the floor vomiting and she'd be like- why don't you fix some of your cottage cheese pancakes I like so much?! Ha. Oh...this could get interesting.
How much effort are y'all putting into the holidays?

hee hee. My mom always tells me how happy she is she hung on for me.
Did the whole shebang for Thanksgiving, so were going easy on Christmas.
Hard to tell via e-mail... she doesn't have kids of her own (or an SO for that matter, that's a whole other story), so she's got a different outlook on life. She does enjoy spending time with DS though. I think she could do without babies. Apparently I traumatized her, I was born when she was 12.5 years old and apparently I was a very spitty baby.
