8 weeks tomorrow.

Hard to believe I'm already 8 weeks along. Seems like just yesterday that I was 5 weeks and itching to tell everyone.

I seem to have the nausea under control now. Either that or it's just coming in phases. I do know that the days that were really bad, I didn't eat anything right away and then once I started feeling sick, I didn't want to eat anything. Now, I'm starting with small snacks as soon as I wake up and it seems to be working. I think that the nausea comes immediately after the hungry, so as long as I don't stay hungry very long, I'm okay.

I have my first doctor's appointment tomorrow. I'm so excited about it. I know that all the bloodwork and tests won't be fun, but the baby is plenty big enough to hear the heartbeat now, and I'm really excited about being able to do that. Andrew may not be able to make it to this appointment, which sucks, but he's going to do what he can. And it's late enough in the afternoon, that it might be a possibility. Cross your fingers. I'm also really hoping that they'll send me for an ultrasound. That'd be fun. Plus, they'll have to give me enough time to drink a whole lot of water, so maybe Andrew could make it for that.

We're getting all our auxillary insulation put up today and yesterday. It's starting to get cold now, so we've got to get it done. It's so much easier this year, because we kept everything, and labelled it all as we took it off the trailer this spring, so we know where it goes... And we're putting it up earlier this year, so we've got more opportunity to make things easy on ourselves. Last year we were just trying to patch holes with anything we could find. This year we can do it properly and not get frostbite in the meantime. And Bailey loves it because she can race around the yard to her heart's content while we're fiddling. It's nice to have a more relaxed pace as well. We can just do a bit here & a bit there and go inside when our fingers get cold. Instead of trying to unstick tape from numb hands.

It really is amazing though, the difference in temperature between inside & outside. We got a little oscillating heater, and it helps to spread the heat throughout the house better.

I do think it's time to get out the winter coat though. I got a little down jacket, but it's not quite downy enough when I'm just standing around at dusk taping.
