30 Weeks & I Feel Great!

10 more weeks to go & I won't have to share my body anymore!
I went out to our family's cabin on Thursday and it was really nice to be out in the bush, getting fresh air. I ended up on a skidoo by Friday afternoon...I just couldn't resist any longer. The baby didn't move much while on the skidoo, but kicked a lot when I got off. Who knows what that means. I went for a little journey with Chauna and Jay to get wood with the skidoo but I felt pretty useless just sitting there watching. I wanted to help but I got yelled at every time I tried to pick up a log and bring it to the sled. Chauna would say "I don't want you to hurt that baby! Quit picking up heavy things." I may be 30 weeks pregnant, but I sure don't act like it. I still try to do the things I would normally do, climbing up on chairs to reach things, picking  up heavy things, skidooing, crawling around on the floor to pick things up. I've always been an independent person and I'd rather not ask for help to do things that I know I could do if I didn't have this tummy going on.  Ah, soon enough though.
On Sunday, Frazer and I drove to Aklavik for his races which he came in 2nd for one race and 3rd in another. It was really nice to spend time with his side of the family and see him race for the first time. I never realized how much work goes into getting ready for a race until after I saw this one. 
On another note, I just want to say how awful I think it is that moms go out drinking shortly after their baby is born. When a women gets knocked up they should realize its not just a 9 month term than they can pass off their baby to whoever is willing to babysit. It's a life long commitment that you make the moment you find out you are pregnant. I am so happy I didn't get pregnant before or around the time I was legally aloud to drink and I was able to get it all out of my system. I don't find sitting at bar, yelling over music to talk and blurring nights appealing anymore, it all just seems like a waste of time and money now that I am preparing to be a mom.
Time is so precious you are growing and learning and I don't want to miss one little thing when it comes to my baby. 

Shaving my legs has become quite the work-out these days, but there is no way in hell I am allowing my legs to get gross and hairy. Also bending down has become kind of difficult, but I manage. On the plus side I am loving my long shiny hair, my finger nails are looking nice too and there are no site of stretch marks, yet. I am feeling pretty good these days, not getting sick anymore and I haven't got a wicked headache in awhile either. Pregnancy is so enjoyable when you're body isn't looking too damaged and you feel like you could join a track team.
