Over the last few weeks I have been absolutely craving some good ol' reckless F U N! I'm sure I must be driving B up the wall by now with my constant brainstorming of something... anything... I can do that is "normal and exciting." But here's my dilemma - everything I think of is not big bellied pregnant lady friendly... I'll think "oh, let's go hike Mt. Findlayson" .. definitely not good for a preggers! "Oh, let's go kayaking".. but wait, I wont fit in a kayak... "Oh, let's take off and go to some exotic location!!" .. hmm, but we are saving up for baby and I can't fly anymore... "Oh, let's go for a bike ride!" ... but my doctor said biking is out.
Crap!
So what's a preggers like me to do? Never before did I think anyone would be able to drag me to a war type historical site where they were doing re-enactments, but there I was, looking through the paper and getting excited at the prospect of Fort Rodd Hill (which is just down the street from our house) having historical days this past weekend. Pure, unadulterated excitement at the idea of doing something different and potentially fun! So, yesterday, we got all geared up, me packing some snacks (highly recommended to keep cranky pregnant lady in hibernation, and fun pregnant lady out for the day), and off down the road we went to explore what Fort Rodd Hill had to offer. Honestly?
There wasn't much excitement to be had in the actually people dressed up in WW1 and WW2 garb, as they were just milling about their tents and chatting. But, it was a fantastic excursion none-the-less. We tromped about the site, enjoying our time together and the sunshine, ate our snacks and just relaxed.PERFECT!
And my craving for a little excitement was abated for at least a day. At the end of our little excursion, the now exhausted pregnant lady, found herself out on our deck, book in hand and mind satiated, falling asleep in the sunshine... letting my dreams carry me to the tops of mountains and other exotic places.
