do i look pregnant now?

Oh.  My.  God.  Time does fly!  It's been so crazy this month and I feel bad that I haven't gotten to update the old blog like I've wanted to.  Boo to that!  But if you can believe it, tomorrow me and Squirt will begin our 27th week together!!!

Here's our current picture.  You know, the one in which I look TOTALLY pregnant!  And please excuse the wierd dimple on my abdomen...it's either a shadow or the skinniest part of me!  Oh, and I had to get a different view today because I had just been napping on my right side and had lines all over me...oops!

So let me explain my absence.  In addition to just being plain exhausted, trying to register for the right combination of classes, scouring this town for good, affordable daycare centers, and working more than any normal pregnant woman should, we were on vacation!  And it was glorious!

We went to Seattle (where it was unseasonably hot) and Vancouver (where they are Canadian).  Now I am a big fan of Canada...ask George, it wierds him out...but let me tell you one strange thing: I was basically the only pregnant person in Canada.

Here, I am surrounded by pregnant women, all swollen and waddly.  But in Canada I got the stink eye from random people on the street!  Apparently it is not en vogue in Vancouver to lug your little Squirt down their very fashionable streets!  Oh, but we prevailed!  And truthfully, in the end we did see two other pregnant ladies braving the childless streets of Vancouver.

I have some lovely pictures to share.  I had to choose wisely from the 1274 pictures that my shutter-happy husband took.  To his defense, I don't think we have 49 pictures of birds from this trip.  No really though, he's very handy with the camera and therefore we owe these wonderful moments in time to him!

We're on a boat!  Well... we were waiting to get on a boat!  We took a little ferry ride from Seattle to Bainbridge Island (which I completely recommend because ferries and islands are awesome)!

Here is Squirt are 6800 ft.  Oh yes, that's what I said!  We hiked a bunch that day.  It was exhausting but this Mama is tough!  And worriers, you can relax, we all made it safely back!

Everyone sing along now..."this hills are alive, with the sound of music."  If you don't immediately want to sing songs from The Sound of Music when you see this picture then something is definately wrong you (*cough*George*cough*).

And finally, here is the aftermath.  My feet were normal-pregnant-lady-swollen the whole trip.  But, on that red-eye flight home something mysterious happened to them.  Luckily, I was poised for action and ready to have some photographic evidence this time.  Truly, it's disgusting...I don't mind if you laugh, it's gross!  I mean my flip flops left a mark...you know that's a bad sign!  (BTW, I took this picture with my phone so please excuse the crappy photo...although maybe this picture doesn't need to be any clearer.)

Ok, I'm off for now but will definately make a better effort to update in the future!  Mama out!
