9 Weeks and Duluth Trip

Last weekend, we took a short trip to Duluth to see the fall colors. I still wasn't feeling great, but lodging was paid for and we were meeting another couple up there, so we went for it. Although I probably pushed myself a bit too hard on the hiking and paid for it later with a prolonged cold and sore calves, it turned out to be a really nice trip.

Our cabin had a private beach on Lake Superior

So much of our hikes was steps!

Nice sunset on Saturday night

We also had another ultrasound on Wednesday. The nurse said the little guy or gal is looking perfect! You could see the little arms, legs, and the brain, and it is measuring 2.47 cm with a heart rate of 168. It was even moving around some! I was so relieved. I feel like now I might finally feel secure enough in this to start planning, reading, etc. I've also officially been discharged to my OB! I had blood work with them on Tuesday which all came back fine (except my hemoglobin is slightly low so I will be eating more hamburgers) and my first real appointment is in a couple weeks. Things are moving along!
