Buddah Belly

Well, we are now 26 weeks along  (6.5 month's) and so far so good. I am extremely grateful for the clean bill of health for the baby especially seeing sick and premature babies at work on a daily basis. I cant even fathom having a baby as early as 23 weeks which is what is now considered viable by medical standards. Yikes! According to the baby books, the baby should be about 2lbs the size of an eggplant. It has been fun watching the belly grow week by week. Starting at 18 weeks I had sever back pain, but that didn't come to me as a surprise as I have a long history of back issues. The doctors allowed for a spinal epidural of cortisone which seems to have done the trick for now. I am still doing yoga, ( I can still do a head stand) and also leisurely playing volleyball on Sundays. We have an ultra sound in a few weeks so we will be sure to update.

Captain Ron

Brett and I have been sailing a lot lately on our boat we share with one of our friends.Brett loves the idea of captain Ron and would like nothing better than to someday live on a boat and sail around the world. It has been an fun and exciting new hobby for us, and we are finally getting the hand of it. At this point we are fair weather sailors and love to go for a sunset cruise right in front of Waikiki. Recently we have been setting out for a sail every Friday evening then grilling and watching fireworks right from the dock! It has been a lot of fun. I personally enjoy anchoring the boat and jumping in when the water is calm. Last Friday we took a large crew out for a sail and even attempted to catch dinner which ended up with the fishing line caught on the prop and no fish dinner. On a lucky day we have seen spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and whales during whale season which is coming up. We have also been planning on how we are going to take our little one sailing. Apparently they make baby life vest which I plan on purchasing soon.
