I'm currently sitting out on the porch enjoying a beautiful but breezy morning, happy to have my feet up and a hot cup of tea to enjoy. However I must admit that I really wish I was in Honduras right now with some of my best friends and my parents to celebrate Nora and Fernando's wedding today! And we would be there right now if it weren't for some bad timing on our part! :) oh well, I guess that's me learning the reality of life with children...some things you just have to let go.
So I must admit that the little timeline above frightens me a bit! The other day I went in for a follow up appointment to have an ultrasound to make sure Little Fig is growing well enough despite my small belly size. Sure enough, everything looked good thankfully. Though now my blood pressure is reading a bit high, so I'll have to keep a close eye on that. Although the high reading could have been due to the fact that my doctor regretfully informed me that he will be out of town the exact week straddling my due date...alas, one more thing to remind me to let go and just go with the flow. Things will work out as they should.
Other recent highlights of the last few weeks:
-an overnight camping trip with Julie to our favorite spot near Muley Point. Despite a very hot day, Ryan and Julie both biked and ran (respectively) up the Moki Dugway, while my pregnant, lazy self enjoyed a nice long nap in the hammock! I also took some extra pillows and despite the big belly, had a great nights sleep and was glad to get a camping trip in before we're doing it with a kid.
-a little more progress on our garden. Have finally gotten pretty much everything planted and are now watching as weeds threaten to take over. Been meaning to get out there and not let that happen, but they're sure hard to keep up with.
-just back from a quick trip to Flagstaff. We had to go down for Ryan to receive a work award. We were excited to learn that the timing was perfect for us to catch the Toots & the Maytals performing live at the Orpheum theater!! Niblet's first reggae concert! It was a great show though I was really feeling 35 weeks pregnant by midnight...
-back from flagstaff just in time to be in Chinle for a shower/fiesta for Brian and Jen, who is due about a week before me with a baby. It's always fun to hang out with this great community of people, and apparently there is something in the water, as they say, because including myself there are currently about 10 women pregnant in the Chinle service unit.
Now we're headed up to the Chuska mountains to hang out with some great Chinle people, throw some frisbees and bocce balls, dip our feet in the creek, grill some grub and enjoy this SUMMER day in the mountains! I guess if I can't be in Honduras celebrating with friends, this is about second best...
