Christmas was kind of a low point for me... I'm sorry to say. I had been feeling so sick all week. Lots of "lost lunches", lots of bone pain. I just kept hoping that I would feel a little better by Christmas. First of all, we couldn't even decide when to open our presents... because Trent had to work on Christmas morning from 6 AM-2 PM. We were going to do Christmas on Christmas Eve morning but then I remembered that I had a doctors appt. at nine so I didn't want to do that. We decided to do it when Trent got home Christmas afternoon.
So I go to my appointment on Christmas Eve and turns out that I was very dehydrated from the shenanigans I've been pulling all week. I ended up having to stay there for a few hours getting pumped full of fluids through an IV to "tie me over" the weekend. It was kind of a downer...
We had dinner that night with our friends and that was really nice and a lot of fun, but I just was feeling so sick still... not fun.
Christmas morning Tru and I woke up and did our normal thing... got up, ate breakfast, did laundry... SO NOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!!! I was pretty bummed about it. Tru had no clue that it was even Christmas... and it was kind of hard. It's hard to feel sick, but even harder to have it be Christmas morning and act like there is nothing going on. It was pretty depressing ;). And then because I'm a crazy person started feeling bad that here I am, spending Christmas morning by myself (and Tru), and I started thinking about how I thought this Christmas would be... spending it with my family and a new baby. So not how I pictured Christmas earlier this year.
Alas... after I put Tru down for his nap the sunshine in my world walked in the door... and made everything right like he always does. I don't know what I would do without Trent. In spite of my rotten mood, my sick stomach, and my depressed attitude... Christmas did in fact happen.
We set everything up so that when Tru woke up we could have our Christmas. I will never forget his big blue eyes as he ran down the hallway and saw his tent. When he saw the tent he said, "WOW!" Perfect Tru, perfect...
We had a good Christmas... just me and my two boys. We ate a lot of candy, and watched movies together. I really am so blessed.

Your Christmas sounds perfect! Tru couldn't have two better parents in the world!
Merry Christmas Meg. I hope you are feeling better this week. I will admit that I am envyous of your christmas. It was very laid back. Mine was crazy with family obligations and traveling.
If I don't see you before, Happy New Year too!
Sounds like it ended up being a nice Christmas. Where does Trent work that he had to work on Christmas morning?
