Baby bump?!
We went to New Mexico Jan 15-21 for our last baby free getaway while I was in weeks 16-17. It was absolutely wonderful. We had a lot of fun, relaxation, and together time. I was glad the altitude didn’t bother me at all. We played in the snow, went hiking, explored Taos and an old ghost town, drove all over the mountains, and spent every evening in front of the fire. We got up to Angelfire Ski Resort for two days. I let Jim ski one day while I played it safe down below. The second time we had fun riding the ski lift and going snowshoeing at the top. Next time it will be cross country skiing though. It’s hard to sneak up on wildlife with those shoes on. During that trip Jim commented that the baby was starting to stick out some. While I suffered from no nausea in the first trimester, I also haven’t gained any weight, so thing have just shifted around I guess.
While it was a wonderful trip, it was sad to get home and lose one of our kitties the very next morning. He had an unknown heart problem and a clot traveled and lodged in his artery right where the artery splits to supply each lower leg (saddle thrombosis). He became paralyzed and we rushed him to the emergency vet. He had heart failure and got fluid in his lungs. It was all so sudden. We buried him in our backyard. We were just glad we were home when it happened.
RIP Buddy
