I have to confess, I loooooove the delicious fatigue of early pregnancy. I fall asleep early, wake up fairly early and take a long nap in the afternoon. Best of all, I never feel guilty about it because "it's for the baby". And it is, but I am also in great sympathy with that line of Viviane's in "Divine Secrets..." where she says that "sleep tastes as good as a bacon sandwich." Amen, sister!
Of course, when I'm working, I don't have the luxury of snoozing the day away. And this weekend my lovely little sister Desi came down to visit from NYC, so I had to try to rouse myself somewhat. I didn't tell her that I was pregnant, but if she had ever been around a pregnant person before she would have known instantly. I was moody and easily tired and I was alternately starving/nauseous. I tried to play it down, but I'm not sure I succeeded!
Speaking of telling people, we aren't really talking about this little Bunny until we reach 12 weeks. I'm almost halfway there...but it still feels like a really long time away. At this point, only our mothers and two friends know about the Tiny Tot. I can't imagine that number growing much until we have more confidence that this precious soul will be staying with us for the long run.
It was great seeing Des this week

end. We went hiking up in the Poconos in central PA, in a town named Jim Thorpe. We hiked the "Falls Trail", which Tim and I had done once before. We took Teddy and Indiana Jones with us and they did a great job. We had to hand the dogs off like parcels a few times, to get across some fast moving water and up some fairly steep climbs, but they were little champions about it. The humans did great as well, and enjoyed the beautiful views. I didn't get to take many pictures...Des definitely got better ones. Here a few. The picture to the left is the parking lot where the hike starts. If you look way up in the trees, you can see the top of the waterfall that we hiked up to, it looks like just a tiny smudge of white tucked into the central depression near the top of the picture. The picture to the right is us sitting in front o

f a nice section of the falls. I'm not sure what we're looking at, but again, like I said, I didn't get great pictures on this trip! I'm hoping to add some of Des' once she gets hers up.
