circulation is a must

The reason why with preggy cold/hot flashes that I have still been sleeping lately, and why Ryan sleeps next to me much longer, before needing his downstairs couch.   I'm so glad to finally have a celing fan.

first fall hike

I asked Carmen to take a hike with me yesterday.  Of course, she said yes, because whenever I ask her to do something for me or with me, she always says yes.  I am a lucky little sis.  I always seem to miss out on this time of fall, because it is here and gone before you know it.  So, this year I am determined to enjoy it before it slips past me.  It was an amazing day.  Perfect weather.  And so nice to have a random Thursday off when I am usually fast at work. 

Shadow and Bogey loved the outing too.

backyard sleep

Last night Ryan suggested we sleep underneath the stars, and let the sound of our waterfall lull us to sleep.  It was fun.  And probably some of the best sleep I've gotten in a long time. 

As a sleep aid, I vote for the sound of water over the sound of TV any day!

cocoon

Baby Pic #2

Our baby looks like it's in a cocoon.  A lot like I have been feeling lately.  I surround myself with food (to prevent nausea), my comfy squishy blankets in my bed, clothes that don't squeeze my tummy, time with my husband, and my dear clients at work.   But out of all those, my favorite is my bed.  So, while my baby has been blissfully floating and forming these past almost 10 weeks, I have pretty much checked out of my normal life.  I sometimes wonder if I am becoming anti-social.  But, I know myself well enough.  It is situational.  Maybe in the next few weeks I will start to resurface. But, for now, if sacrificing my "normal" means healthy baby in the end, I'm good with it.
