Hiking (see pics below)

A beautiful day with the perfect company. I went on my first hike as a pregnant women and yes, I was careful. I did a lot of resting, was cautious with my steps, and had my doctors permission. We did make it to the top, but not without the little one reminding me that she was along for the long journey up hill. My pregnancy is still going well. The ultrasound and blood work all came back without any concerns. Our little one is healthy and continues to grow. My belly is getting bigger and I am starting to look pregnant as opposed to having a beer gut. (I will post an updated picture soon). I am 22 weeks now, almost 23, and have made it past the halfway mark. I still feel good and actually slept through the night last night. I doubt this will last, but it felt really nice. It is hard sometimes being so far from home as I wish I could share this with my family and friends. I am grateful that I will be home at the end of the month for my shower.
