More Memorial Weekend Fun!

As if biking wasn't a great enough thrill for just coming out of the cave, we went fishing and hiking with our friends Nick and Laura Lee. What a blast!!!!

Steve wasn't so excited about my bright green rain jacket frightening the fish off.

While our husbands fished, LL and I decided to hike/scramble up the closest hill. It was rejuvenating! It only took about 25-30 minutes to make it to the top. Once there we were delighted with the view of Estes Park. But one must never forget- what goes up, must come down. Our creative path up made for an even more interesting way down!

Successfully making it down a slab! Yea!

Laura Lee always looks terrific! Behind her is the "slab" we came down from.

Biking Days Again!

This past weekend proved better than ever! FINALLY we were able to do some of the things we love- for me- getting on my bike was a precious gift! I was a little nervous as pregnant women are trained these days to live in a cave. I've decided the cave just isn't for me- time for a coo.

Steve and I took it easy on the way towards our destination (can't give you numbers- it's sad) but on the way back, I was able to pick up the pace and felt much like my pre-pregnant self. Though I did play it much safer than usual (actually caring and monitoring my speed down hills and around corners) it's great to know that Baby Will can join us in the fun! Who knows, maybe he's the next Lance already in training!

Sick Steve

April was a really fun month! Steve came down with a horrible "bug" or stomach/intestinal virus that sent him to the after hours care at Kaiser.
While there, he experienced his first ever IV as they pumped him with 2 liters of fluid. Arriving home somewhere around 3 AM, we both took the next day off. The nurses were concerned that I would come down with it- being el preggo, people seem to care a whole lot more for your well being.

I sterilized the house, so I thought, but the next week, I came down with the exact same bug. Unfortunately, it happened much later and he needed to take me to the ER. On the bright side, it's the same hospital we'll deliver at, so it was like a practice trial. Also, they wanted to check out the baby and make sure it was handling my sickness well. Thus, we received an unexpected ultrasound (16 weeks- you usually only get them at 8 and 20). They discharged me after giving me 4 liters of fluids.

Steve was an AMAZING husband through my sickness! He held me up so I wouldn't pass out while puking and carried my IV bag to use the lavatory. The whole time he went above and beyond!
