We're baaack...

So the trip to Tokyo was fantastic, not least of all because I successfully spent four days with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law without spilling a very big secret. When we met up with Zack in Tokyo, we got to tell them together (and his Dad, over the phone) that I'm pregnant! It was a lot of fun to share. And now that the family has all been notified, I'm sharing with the world. Our first child is due on March 3rd, which is girl's day in Japan. (I know I told some people it was February, but after my doctor's appointment, they adjusted the date to match how big the baby is.) We're all super excited, of course.
The first question everyone asks is how am I feeling, and before the Tokyo trip my answer was always "Tired and hungry, but fine." I had a couple days on the trip where hungry was replaced by "unable to eat." But so far I've really been feeling pretty good. I've become a much pickier eater in the last week or so, but I'm still relatively functional. I am however, considering adding an afternoon nap to my schedule now that my family has left and I'm not a tour guide.
It was my intention to post the ultrasound pictures, but I've changed my mind for two reasons: 1) Honestly, it doesn't look like anything at all, unless you're an expert ultrasound reader. 2) We had a storm come through a few nights ago, and it knocked out the internet at my house, so I'm doing all my internet stuff (for now) at base. Yesterday was a Japanese holiday, so I couldn't do anything about it until today, and then this morning is busy, so I'll be heading over to get someone to come fix it, and hopefully I'll be back at home in a few days. Instead of an ultrasound picture, I'll post a nifty little ticker thing I stole from Riss.
So pictures of Tokyo are soon to come. And of course we'll keep you posted on the baby stuff.
