six months...

Jeremy and I went on a hike at Cold Springs this weekend, and it was like therapy. I told him as tired as I am, and as weak as I feel (man, pregnancy can take it out of you!) that I want him to grab me, stick me in the car, and do a hike every weekend! Cold Springs has such a part of my heart, because since I was little, we grew up going on hikes there. We'd climb up the creek and swim in the pools, pack picnics and play in the huge rocks that the Chumash Indians had carved into hundreds of year ago, and would get lost in make-believe all day. It is always nostalgic going back there, but especially this time...as I was walking with my unborn daughter inside of me...daydreaming about taking her on adventures there, packing picnics, and seeing her discover all the magical spots. I am loving being pregnant, and feel like it is one of the most amazing gifts there is. Can't believe we're six months pregnant.... even closer to meeting our baby girl!

How far along?  24 Weeks

Maternity clothes? yep! Maternity skirts are from heaven. I could live in them!

Sleep: Wonderful.... by the end of the day, my body is begging for a break. Pregnancy dreams are weird as heck though! 

Best moment this week: Jeremy feeling her move a bunch, going to Yosemite our Babymoon, and getting our house more ready for our little peanut. 

Miss Anything? Besides being able to paint my toes without grunting to bend over my growing belly...We went to this fabulous restaurant in Northern California, and Jeremy ordered this amazing Merlot. I took one sip, and it made me remember  I miss red wine. 

Movement: Lots! I'm feeling her body turn like crazy, some hardcore kicks, and notice that she moves a bunch when she hears Jeremy or I talking. 

Food cravings: Lemonade and oranges. I crave fruit all the time.... as well as thai food about every day. Had some leftovers for breakfast the other morning. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: the smell of coffee, and hearing people sneeze. 

Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: No... but starting to feel my uterus practicing.

Symptoms: body aches.... but that's about it these days! 

Belly Button in or out? flat and quickly disappearing 

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time:  So happy 

Looking forward to: starting our natural childbirth class and meeting with our Doula again.
