Today has been an emotional roller coaster. My hormones are definitely living up to their promise of affecting my emotions. Aaron had today off and so I finally got to spend time with my hubby (it's been 4 days since I have seen him). We went shopping and ended up buying a tent because our current 2 person tent just doesn't cut it. Dick's was having a sale on a 6 person Coleman tent so we thought it would be a good investment (we had a rebate card from Verizon that worked perfectly for this!) A camping trip is planned for the last weekend in August, and we're planning on staying for three nights. It'll be nice to have a tent that has room for our air mattress AND our stuff. I only got to spend a few hours with Aaron because he had a fishing tournament this evening which I was kind of upset about, but I have come to terms with it. They are just about done and then I'm going to see him for the night :) I'm so thankful the season is almost done and by August we should be living under the same roof again.

In pregnancy news, I have somehow "obtained" arthritis in my left ring finger. It's the only finger that is swollen and it hurts to bend my knuckles. I might have to start wearing my rings around my neck, which I expected would happen eventually, but not because of arthritis. Hopefully it clears up; last night it was throbbing. Also, I've been getting lightheaded if I stand for too long (I almost passed out in the shower yesterday). I know it's because I have low blood pressure, but I'm afraid I'm going to faint. I try to be careful about how quickly I stand up, and I drink lots of water if I start to feel faint.

Tomorrow I will have a 15 week update!
