Pregnancy & Deployment, July 17th 2009

I will be 21 weeks pregnant tomorrow! My pregnancy seems to be going by so fast!
Kai has been moving around so much. It's amazing to feel this little life in my tummy.
Despite all of the aches & pains, I'm really embracing my pregnancy.
It is such a beautiful experience.
I'm so grateful to be a woman... We are co creators with God.
I love our little boy so much already!
Doug & I can't wait to meet him!

I heard from Doug yesterday morning!
I'm so thankful we've been able to talk almost every day.
He seems to be doing well. I miss him so very much.
Only a few more months in Indiana & I will be on my way back to Hawaii.
I'm so excited! I have so much to do before his homecoming,
but I know staying busy will make time go by a little faster.
My aunt Jessy & her children are back in Idaho.
We miss them so much! It was so nice to have them in Indiana
during my stay.
Jessy took me to her gym a few time while she was home.
I'm now way more comfortable with working out while pregnant.
I was hesitant to do so many things, but she made me realize that it
was more than okay. So I'm back to doing more challenging cardio
workouts & strength conditioning. I've learned to only listen to about half of
what people tell me. I was so worried & nervous about hurting my baby, I
was always scared to "over do it". I have been working out hard,
and Kai & I are just fine =). I'm in a better mood every day, I know it's good for him &
it's going to help with labor & recovery. I feel so relieved!
