Telling Jenny and any everyone else

It's been a good week so far. Much less spotting - and while I don't want to get my hopes up too much, it seems to have gone away for now. We were able to schedule a sonogram for October 17 - which will be a good thing to know exactly how far along I am. I keep thinking that I must be at least 5 weeks, but really have no idea. I suppose I should have kept better track?

We told Jenny last night on speaker phone. It was important to me that Chad be part of this since we are waiting to tell the rest of his family. Jenny is far enough away that I don't think she'll slip. Whereas, if we told Culann, he'd want to tell Carolyn and then it would be hard to keep it under wraps. I think the plan is to wait until Thanksgiving to tell the Kramer clan, but I am not sure if we'll be able to make it that long. If we see Vivienne any other time in late October or earlier in November, we might have to say something. And then while I would love to tell my mom in person, I don't think I am going to see her between now and Christmas, and I just don't think I can wait until Christmas, so it will most likely end up being a phone conversation.

I've been a bit tired - I worked at home today cleaning up computer files. And took a nap this afternoon. Naps are good things, but it is too darn hot for October so I woke up in a sweat. I am still doing a good job riding the bike - although I might cut back to just one episode of things at a time. Will have to see. I'd like to keep up with it, but I am not sure how to adjust my Google 15 goal. Should I put it 20 pounds more than I am now? This will be a good question to ask the nurse practitioner at the first appointment - along with asking just how bad artificial sweetner is and whether I can maybe perhaps have one a day or week? More on beverages soon...
