HALFWAY THERE!!! Twenty weeks down!

Tank, we are halfway to meeting you, and we couldn't be more excited if we tried! Your dad is getting more and more excited about my more-obvious baby bump.

The weather is finally warming up a bit, so we took you on your SECOND hike this weekend, this time to Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge south of Columbus, Indiana. It's known for its waterfowl and wetlands - there were lots of sandhill cranes stopping in during their spring migration. They were too far away for a photo, but they were LOUD! Muscatatuck is flat, which was a nice way to get back into hiking after such a long, cold winter. I was shocked at how out-of-breath I got after just a 2 mile hike - I know that's a pregnancy symptom, but I realized I need to honor my limitations to stay healthy.

Halfway belly... it will get more than twice this big, I'm told (and I hope!)

Checking out the info board. Muscatatuck has a newer and very well-done visitor center, too. It was our first time visiting, and it was very impressive!

Your dad posted this pic on Facebook because he said it showed off my bump well. I've just started wearing some of my maternity tops that your Grandma Jane bought me! They're comfy!
