8 weeks

I had my last u/s with my RE today and everything looks great! Apparently Patches was moving around while they were doing the u/s. I have been officially released from their care and can now see my regular OB.

In other news, I had to take a business trip to California this week. Can I just say how wrong it is to fly for 12 hours for an 8 hour meeting. The exhaustion was killing me, but I was able to sleep a little on the red eye back home, so that helped a lot. I wish we could have stayed longer, because San Francisco seems like a cool place. And Sonoma, where the meeting was, was absolutely gorgeous. I was able to get In-N-Out burger for dinner before the flight back, so that was awesome!
