I about passed out the other day during my last ultrasound when the tech gave me my guesstimated weight of the baby. Lets just say that every lb I have gained so far is baby. He is a Clydesdale Jr.

Carrying him this spring in a front pack is going to be a workout in itself ;-) The pack in the back better be light....or my other idea is to make Ford carry all my gear (the ultimate UL way, no?)

Kirk and I are counting the days down and cannot wait.

This is me last weekend:

Sarah,
If you put a pack on, it should balance you nicely...what's the problem?!? ;)

Tom, Laughing over that! I have been hiking still but I am so slow the guys can walk 3 times as fast as me, as I go from tree to tree wheezing. The baby has dropped and I can breathe a bit better now ;-P

I cannot wait to put on my hiking boots (OK, trail runners) and blaze out the door leaving those two (Kirk and Ford) in my dust again!

I can't see my feet so Kirk has to tie my shoes for me. Snort!

Juston...the due date is up in the air.

Technically April 3rd but the baby has been 3+ weeks big at my monthly ultrasounds for months. It could be tomorrow or up to 5 weeks from now. The kid is huge and getting bigger by the day....lol!

I am letting Kirk name this one ;-) Not so secretly hoping my new front pack is a red head as well!

"Well, my daddy wanted to name me Mac after the truck, but then mommy wanted to name me Clyde. And I rode around in a snuggy for so many miles of trail people just call me AARN, don't really understand why..."

Here's hoping lil Front Pack is healthy - sure sounds like he is!
