Disney World

Last week Shawn and I went to Disney World with Leah, Mark, Olivia and Andrew. Let's just say it was a interesting. It was the third time Shawn and I went, but being there with kids was a whole new experience. On one hand, it was fantastic to see things through the eyes of a four year old. Olivia was so excited to see the characters and reassured me that the Lilo we had breakfast with was the real Lilo, "for real Aunt Anne." On the other hand, she vacillated between frenzied joy and utter meltdown. While totally normal for a four year old, it was a little over whelming for a pregnant lady. It made me seriously doubt our ability to be good parents. Mark and Leah did a great job with her, but holy smokes it took a lot of energy just to witness it! Shawn will post pictures soon.

Shawn went on a quick climbing trip to Hueco Tanks this weekend and will be back on Sunday night. It's nice to have a little bit of time to regroup and get my home back together after being so busy. Work is still crazy and I am doing way more than 20 hours a week. I will definitely be more insistent about only working my 20 after the baby is born.

This baby is moving around like crazy now and I am 23 weeks. One more week and we reach viability if my little one makes an early appearance. I hope not, but it will be comforting to know. We are still so not ready, we are going to need the full 40 weeks. We are no closer to childcare than the last post, and the nursery is still a mostly empty room. I think it is also time to start thinking about childbirth classes. I'm considering hypnobirthing. I saw a lot of clients do well with it when I was at the birth center. We'll see. We are also no closer to naming this baby either. So much to do!!!
