Twenty Weeks and Fast Asleep

This bun is half baked! I don't think I was this large with Silas at 20 weeks.  Probably had something to do with the fact that I wasn't able to eat anything the first 14 weeks of my pregnancy with him. I'll take the largeness over the illness any day!

I really can't complain this time around.  The only thing that has bothered me is my absent mind.  I  never remember having 'pregnancy brain' before, but yikes is it here.  Maybe I have just over booked my summer with a very active Toddler, I'm not sure.  I have missed appointments, forgotten about play dates, showed up to music class at the wrong time, words and names slip my mind. It's the weirdest thing. 


Last weekend we took a family walk around Pleasant Lake in North Oaks.  It's a five mile walk, mostly shaded with beautiful homes to admire along the way.  I was a little nervous that Silas wouldn't hold up in a stroller for almost two hours.  He fussed a few short times to get out, but about half way into the walk he was fast sleep.  And about 3/4 of the way into the walk I wanted to stop.  I asked Joe if he could get the car and come get me....too bad no motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail.  I thought that my pelvis, groin and lower abdomen were going to explode.  I waddled the last little bit and eventually made it to the car.  I definitely wasn't expecting it to be that difficult. 

I did get a cute shot of some ducks taking a snooze!


And here is my little buddy passed out on the big chair after a long, hot afternoon at the park.
