The Decision is Made

I finally decided after months of what was an obsession... finding the perfect stroller for us and a workable yet fashionable diaper bag to go along. I can't tell you how many times I changed my mind. Hopefully we'll be happy with the choices in the months to come.

STROLLER
Name: Bob Revolution Stroller
Colors: Chocolate/Mesa Orange
Why: It is first and foremost a running stroller, which is a must for us. But it also can be used for daily outings because the front wheel can swivel. And we plan on purchasing the attachment so we can use it with a baby car seat.



DIAPER BAG
Name: OiOi Girafee Print Hobo Sack
Colors: Cocoa/ Burnt Orange
Why: Because it's fun, practical and girlie. Plus it's large enough to carry everything I could ever dream of while also scrunch down small when needed.

Week 34 & 35

Pregnancy stats:

• Due Date: Around July 25th, 2008
• Current Time line: 34 weeks 6 days
• Belly size: BIG!
  
• Energy level: High in the morning, but I fade fast in the evening.
  
• Nap: A 15 minute nap makes all the difference on high activity days.
  
• Nauseousness: Medium. Not as bad as middle trimester, but definitely still around.
• Back Soreness: Low. Luckily not much back pain.
• Exercise Level: Medium. Still at it swimming, hiking, and biking just all slow. Walking is getting more uncomfortable. I am still trying to fend off the pregnancy waddle.

My June MN Trip Pictures

Here are some pictures from my trip to Minnesota. I had a great time and was able to pack quite a bit in given the pregnancy. Although I do have to say I was exhausted each night and more then ready to head to bed. :)

The parents and I headed out on a bike trip with their bike club the first day I got there. It ended up being a leisurely 4 hour ride. Perfect for a 7 month pregnant girl like me.



The whole family lined up, ready to head into the Children's Museum.






My nephew, Nathanial. It was so great, the two older boys were practicing on their bikes so they could show Aunt Laura their biking skills. They did great! Nathaniel even biked all the way to the park one day.







My nephew, Andrew. The boys and I played with bubble making machines outside one afternoon. Nothing like soapy bubbles everyone including on my glasses.








My nephew, Joshua. Wearing my favorite bib - 'Cute a sarous'. He's got the cutest smile.










My sister and I the day before I left.

Week 33

This picture is a bit shocking, even to me. Boy has baby Beaty grown. This picture was taken while I was in Minnesota on my trip home last week.

I actually got a scolding from my doctor for traveling so late in my pregnancy, which I found surprising given I still have a a month and a 1/2 left. Guess I won't be mentioning my trip down to Kiawah Island this coming week...

More MN pictures to come.
