Kicks From the Inside :)

I can feel you,
With a kick from the inside.
It's amazing that you're so small,
yet growing every day.

The first few weeks I almost didn't believe,
That there was a baby inside.
Then as you grew,
I started growing too.

I'm getting bigger now,
and I can feel you more often.
Your daddy was trying to hear your heartbeat,
and you kicked him in the head.

You're so strong,
for one so small and fragile.
I worry about you,
and would protect you with my life.

It's amazing to love you,
when I have only felt you moving inside me.
All you really are,
is a kick from the inside.

But who knows if it's a kick from your foot,
maybe it's your bum, or your hip,
Or even your little fist.
You are so wiggly.

I can't wait to meet you,
See your beautiful face.
It's amazing that I love you so much already,
Since you're just a kick from inside.

Sierra Nevada Trip

A couple of months ago my husband convinced me to go on a backpacking trip in the Sierras, just so happens that when the trip came around I was 7 months pregnant. I promised him that I would go if I thought I could. Since I hiked up to the top of Mt. Baldy at about 6 months pregnant we thought I'd be ok. Actually, I thought I was crazy to do it, but for the most part it ended up being just fine. It was hard to sleep at night on the ground pad which made me even more tired than just being pregnant, so I had to take a couple of naps in the tent. My father-in-law kept saying that I was probably the only 7 months pregnant woman that had ever been to that part of the Sierras and he just might be right. It was a really fun trip though and I am glad I did it. Kaydee and I have been watching Star Wars so we decided to give ourselves Jedi braids haha. We backpacked in three miles, camped near a beautiful brook and spent the days fishing and hiking around to little lakes. We caught some beautiful fish. We even found this beautiful little secluded lake that we named "Sue-ald" Lake. Here's some pictures from our adventures!
