Week 8 - Time sure flies when you're on vacation

We are into week 8 and all is well. I have had a few bouts of nausea but nothing as bad as I have heard from other friends so I am still counting myself lucky. I am finding that I am very tired (especially at work). I know this is to be expected but it is sometimes tough just to keep my eyes open :) I find that I really want to sleep in the middle of the day; which makes being productive at work a difficult task.

We just returned from a 9 day vacation in northeastern Washington and had a great time relaxing, water skiing, fishing and generally doing nothing or whatever we wanted in mostly great weather. There was a day we decided to float the river and it ended up being the day of a huge windstorm that crept up on us on the river so that was a bit of an adventure but other than that the weather was great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves hanging out with friends and soaking up the sun. It was a little challenging to hide the fact that we are expecting when most days were spent sitting in the sun with drink (secretly non-alcoholic for me) in hand. But we must have done OK since no one seemed the wiser. We are still really itching to tell our friends and family but want to wait a bit longer to make sure things are progressing.

We have another ultrasound appointment tomorrow to check progress. After that we will reassess where we are and when we want to start telling folks.
