Finally An Update

Whew, I guess finding a topic to write on once a week is hard. Maybe I"m not cut out for a writer's career after all.

Things are still growing in the Gold household. Erin has just started to "show" in my opinion, and in fact she moaned on Sunday that suddenly none of her shorts fit anymore. We have a new ultrasound this week with the High Risk pregnancy group, but nothing to worry about; all multiple pregnancies are automatically labelled "High Risk" by Erin's Ob/Gyn. Look for pictures from that next week.

On the vacation front, we just got back from Las Vegas. Erin and I both play in our local APA Pool league, although we play on different teams (for marital harmony). Well, Erin's team won a trip to Las Vegas to play in the National Tournament, and I tagged along as the spouse. First, it was extraordinarily hot. Not like, "whew, this is hot" hot; I like that hot. No, this was, "Holy Cow, we should never go outdoors" hot. 115 degrees during the day, cooling to a chilly 105 at night. Sure, it was a "dry heat" but that just meant it was better than if it was 115 AND humid.

Erin's team played well and ended up going 2-2, losing their first match, then winning two in a row before bowing out in a very tight match that started at 11:00 PM Vegas time. Erin personally went 3-1, losing in that first match then running off three straight. Not bad for a girl 15 weeks pregnant! Pictures will be uploaded shortly of the team in action.

Calm Before The Storm?

I wonder if this is what if feels like on the coast two days before a hurricane. You know the storm's out there, but right now it's just a nice day, with a slight breeze and a bit higher surf than normal..

Erin is doing well so far. The biggest symptom has been fatigue, of which she's had an abundance. No real morning-sickness so far, though, as long as she's snacking every two to three hours. She's not really showing right now, but I think we're both expecting that to change very soon. I think the breakthrough will be when she gets that first piece of official Maternity Wear. I'll try to get a profile picture of her taken and posted here soon (I'm not promising any Demi Moore-style photos, but I'll see what I can do).

In other exciting news, it seems our good friends from college, Dawn and Greg, just announced that they are also having a baby! Here's a link to her blog.
