Eight weeks.

Things to know:

• Shrimp is approximately the size of a gummi bear. But not squishy- this thing is all joints at the moment, fingers, elbows, knees and so forth. 
• Almost not a tadpole anymore- the tail will be nearly gone by this week. 
• I've tried watching those time lapse videos of baby development. A bit creepy. Maybe I'll try again in a few weeks.  Note to self: do not watch Alien movies anytime soon.
• Andrew and I have been a disaster this week- he's got Crohn's stuff going on, and I've been so tired and icky feeling. Yesterday I took a half day and we both kind of gave up for the day. 
• Have since decided that the allotted 12 oz. coffee is incredibly important- I took my dose this morning with cream and sugar and felt super. Fat and sugar are so kind to me these days, cutting acidity and letting me consume calories in a more dense manner. 
• Starting to plan next year's programs. Sneakily making sure there is a relative void of activity in May. Excited to start interviews for my assistant position next week- my unwitting substitute during fmla... hehehehe.
