9 Weeks and Waiting

Today is the official "9 week" mark.  I find it funny that our baby stopped growing at 5 1/2 weeks, and here we are 3 1/2 weeks later with NO signs of miscarrying.  In fact, over the past few days some of my pregnancy symptoms have come back full tilt (heartburn, nausea, fatigue).  I wish my body would just make up its mind.  I've not had any spotting yet either.  I had a bit of cramping today, but I think that's because I worked out at the gym and even did abs work. 

So, our trip is a go... but just not as planned.  We are no longer going to visit DH's parents.  I'm relieved now, but last night at 11pm I had my bag packed all ready to leave after work.  Then they called us and told us not to come.  DH and I were a little ticked off, to say the least.  My mother-in-law (MIL) decided to do her own internet searching on Korean websites and decided it was too risky for me to travel at all!  She was so intent on the fact that she had researched and DH said to her, "Mom, don't you think that we have researched about 400,000 times MORE than you."  But oh well.  I was a bit worried about how they would be anyways.  They really don't have a clue what is going on so I would have been told a million times to "just relax" and "you're still young, it will happen" etc. 

Instead, we are taking a wonderful get-away trip to... TOFINO!  I absolutely love Tofino.  We've rented a little (old and cheap) cottage on the beach, where our dog can come.  There's a fireplace and a TV, and we plan to keep it chill and do some walks on the beach and just relax.  This is absolutely perfect for me! 

Surprisingly, I don't really feel too sad about our loss right now.  I think that when it actually happens, I will break down, but I'm getting by alright for the moment.  I've been able to get through my days this week.  I think having a trip at the end of this week was a lifesaver for me. 

So, the saga continues.  Hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for the continued support!
