Due to the popular response we received from early previews of our hiking video, I decided to post it here as well.  Jennifer is over 8 months pregnant while hiking nearly 4 miles through Muir Woods.  Enjoy!

 

 

We started out just across from the Mountain Home Inn in Mill Valley and hiked into Muir Woods stopping to rest only at the halfway point.

 

At either 8 or 9 months pregnant, Jennifer started her Saturday with a yoga class, then hiked 4
miles in Muir Woods, picked up a couple baby items at Babies 'R' Us, and finished day day stocking up at Trader Joe's. The very next day she was back at it again, starting the day with a 90 minute prenatal yoga class. Not too shabby.

Today we ran the first load of laundry for our child. We received a lot of new clothes and a lot of hand-me-downs from generous friends and family, so there's plenty more where that came from.

So I guess this is where 18+ years of the work of parenting begin. Until now, it's just been attending classes, buying things, and watching Jenn's belly grow. This first load of laundry is probably the easiest part. This is the part where we still get to sleep, we don't have to worry, and we don't have to chauffeur.

I think maybe this is also where our parents sit back and laugh because they know what we're in for. And after all the classes and books and advice, we still have no idea.

But with 5 weeks to go, we can't wait.

Remember when substituting brown rice was considered the healthy option? Now it's all about quinoa. But to really impress people, you have to pronounce it correctly. Kēn'-wah. Not what you were thinking.

The picture here is Moroccan Chicken over quinoa. When you want to be smug in SF, you have to try harder.

Almost forgot. The water cup. It's biodegradable. If you fill it up with water and plant it in the ground, I think it will actually grow into a tree that produces more biodegradable cups.
