21 Weeks

We had our first really hot weather in Mountain View over the weekend; the temperature went over 90 in the house. Somehow this caused me to feel even more ridiculously pregnant than before. Here I am right before we abandoned the house in favor of spending Sunday evening by the pool:


We've taken to swimming in the evenings instead of walking, which lets me get more exercise than before and has the added benefit of giving my back, hips, and feet a rest. Dane and I aren't very strong swimmers, but we're determined that the kids are going to be better than us. So, we're getting them started early. :-)

We also got our twin stroller over the weekend. Thinking that it would need to take a beating, I had initially put the stroller on the (very short) list of things that we should buy new. But then I found the exact stroller I'd picked from Babies R Us on Craig's list for half price, still in it's plastic wrapping. So, we took our lives in our hands, drove up the 101 to San Mateo, and came back the proud owners of a stroller. The frenzy of gear-acquisition has begun.
