Change of plans
aaa
The friends who are going on this trip with us came over for dinner last night. He was Zé Maria's best man at our wedding and she is a very good friend of mine. So they decided they have the necessary authority to prohibit us from going to California because of this pregnancy, even though we said we were sticking to planned.
The problem doesn't seem to be as much the flight (which is very long, I grant them that) but more the car drive between San Francisco and Los Angeles. They decided we need a much more relaxed vacation. But they still want to go to the States.
So their choice was... Florida.
It's a much shorter flight and there will be no car driving involved. We will (hopefully) be able to go to the beach and relax and we can still go shopping (that was essential both for me and for Maria). Now I will have to buy a guide of Florida and start deciding what we want to see, where we will stay, etc. So if you have any suggestions they are very welcome. We are leaving 4 weeks from today and I usually like to plan my vacations more in advance so I will definitely need your help!
As for California, I admit I had become quite attached to the idea so we are not giving it up entirely. We go on a trip every year and next year it will most definitely be California.

Today I'm going with my sister to her first OB appointment.
Since we have the same OB I may ask her to weight me and request all the first trimester blood tests. So far I'm being followed by the molar pregnancy specialist and when I called my OB she told me there was no need to go there until the ultrasound next week. But since I'll be there anyway we might as well get some of the work done!
I'm also hoping she schedules a u/s for my sister for sometime soon. She hasn't had anymore spotting but she's still worried.
The appointment is probably going to be late (very late) in the evening so I'll update on Monday.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I vacationed in Florida and lived in LA for a couple years, and the weather, smells, and ambiance of California is much nicer. Florida is humid, smells like sweat and fish and everything seems dirty (sorry all you floridians) whereas the california coast has very moderate/mild weather, and I think of midnight jasmine when I recall my time there. A couple of hours, or even a drive... I don't know. It would be worth it to me.
