One of these little girls had a diaper accident on Saturday while I was babysitting so we stripped down and had a bubble bath.</div>

I thought Hazel was hard to keep up with in the tub but Mary was just as energetic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both of them thought standing sounded like a fun idea.</div>

She's been doing it ever since.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It ended up being our most expensive vacation to date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We didn't stay at a luxurious resort</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We didn't eat at any fancy restaurants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We didn't even fly there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went to Rocky Point, Mexico.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Normally an inexpensive way to get to the closest beach we have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were planning to leave Monday at about noon when Hazel usually goes down for her second nap of the day. I was doing a bunch of last minute errands and borrowing travel supplies from family. I stopped at Danny and <a href="http://lindsicourt.blogspot.com/">Lindsi's</a> for a beach umbrella and then my car wouldn't start. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dropped Hazel off at <a href="http://elephantabbie.blogspot.com/">Abbie's</a> for a nap (which is when we should have been leaving) and got my car to a mechanic. He told us it was the starter that was giving us trouble.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So 5 hours and $400 later we were off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's not even the expensive part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few hours into the trip I hopped in back to feed Hazel some jar food and snacks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was 8pm and pitch black out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were just a few miles away from the border.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the back seat I look up out the front window and scream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OH MY GOSH!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">BAM!!!</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We hit a deer!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ben said he barely saw it out of the corner of his eye.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm almost positive the deer and I made eye contact a split second before impact.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The car was running fine and we decided it was too dangerous to pull over.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember its dark outside and we probably just made a very large animal very mad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We didn't hit it head on, just from the passenger side of the car.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next few minutes were followed my these questions and comments.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"We just hit a deer!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Where did that deer even come from?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"What the heck is a DEER doing in the desert?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"What should we do?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And many other things of that nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We could see the lights from the gas stations at the border so we waited until then to asses the damage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next few minutes were in silence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then, what's the most natural human response to a traumatic event?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hysterical laughter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep, that was me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started laughing really hard and I couldn't help it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ben turns to me super confused and asks me why I was laughing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing I could get out was,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I don't know"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I just replayed the whole thing in my head and then asked myself,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Did that really just happen?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it lightened the mood a bit cause then we just laughed for a long time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exhibit A is where I'm guessing the shoulder of the deer hit.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exhibit B is showing the fact that I don't have a side mirror.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exhibit C must have been the back end crushing the door to the point where it no longer opens.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exhibit D If you look closely it looks like the outline of a deer head</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Exhibit E needs a closer look.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep, that's fur coming out of my tail light.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know what happened to that deer, or to my mirror </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(we looked for both on the way back)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We still went on our trip and despite the rocky start we had a lovely time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More on that to come.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now if you'll excuse me I need to call my insurance company.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hazel has been eating rice cereal for a few weeks now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and has liked it a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I decided to give her some carrots for the first time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was all pumped and ready and felt like super-mom cause I've been reading up on making my own baby food. I steamed the carrots, mashed them up, and added some water and cereal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got the camera all ready to document this milestone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started out super positive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybr0JU19kndytv-vmS4HYM1VM4TV6IqsnL6oHs6gqaBQkFf0aPCPj0krRAjPXuey1OGtWt8UI1nHHZhorD5Nmsy_rhd5_6WdZAgDxX9jxyZ-ht3tuW6mJIm-A_C0WXxRRFBkpROCKhxU/s1600/IMG_2030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybr0JU19kndytv-vmS4HYM1VM4TV6IqsnL6oHs6gqaBQkFf0aPCPj0krRAjPXuey1OGtWt8UI1nHHZhorD5Nmsy_rhd5_6WdZAgDxX9jxyZ-ht3tuW6mJIm-A_C0WXxRRFBkpROCKhxU/s320/IMG_2030.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then her hands got involved and she was wiping carrots all over the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looked like a little orange hurricane blew through our living room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily she was only in a diaper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This last picture was taken seconds before it all came right back up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we had a sink bath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More like a sink shower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I held her up and Ben sprayed her off making sure to find all the baby creases.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realized now where we went wrong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm just learning how to be a mom ok?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went at it a little too abrupt for Hazel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mixture was mostly carrots with a little rice cereal,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In hindsight I realize that it should have been the other way around</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
introducing the flavor a little at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Duh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure why I didn't think of that before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously, duh.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She no longer wants to be put to sleep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used to have to bounce her and sing her a few songs</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">until she was totally asleep in my arms before placing her in her crib.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday she wanted none of that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I now just lay her in her crib (swaddle-free too)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">give her a binkie and and blankie</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and walk out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">1. Leg cramps.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">What the heck is that about? </div><div style="text-align: left;">A few weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst pain in my calf. The muscle was so tight and I wasn't even flexing. It hurt SO bad</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">2. Heart burn.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ok, I kind of knew about this one but I didn't even know what heart burn was until I got pregnant. It's a good things Tums taste like giant Smarties.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">3. Everyone LOVES giving pregnancy advice</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I guess I should have known this one. People give you advice on what worked for them like all pregnancies are the same... Advice turns into stories about their own pregnancy... Stories turn into two people trying to one-up each other with their worst pregnancy stories... Then within a few minutes you're not even part of the conversation anymore, but you still feel like you have to stand there and listen cause you started the whole conversation just by being pregnant.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">4. People don't look you in the face anymore.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Most conversations I have now are 10% eye contact and 90% eye to belly contact. Its like they want to see if I've gotten any bigger within the time period of our conversation... or maybe they just want to make sure the bump is still there. I'm not really sure.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">5. Touch first... ask second</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">I've noticed a lot lately that people will touch my belly AND THEN ask if its ok that they touch it. I really don't mind much, just seems a little backwards.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">6. "You're getting so big!"</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">For most people, this phrase is thought to be a compliment to a pregnant person. What do I say to that? Thank you? I've also heard, "You look so pregnant today." Or, "Wow, you really grew over the weekend."</div><div style="text-align: left;">What is the proper response to things like that? Saying that you've gained weight to any other person would not be a compliment but with the right tone of voice, saying it to a pregnant person suddenly becomes alright. And really, I don't mind it when people say things like that. I've even had one girl at work tell me that she was glad that I finally didn't look like I just had a beer belly anymore... again, it was a compliment... I think.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">And now for your viewing pleasure...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a picture of me in the classic "I'm pregnant" pose</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9RNrW1u6Krl6yfjoGo2I5tv17JfYJ4BO79LBFJWzc_ZXKMmTHGOzUtlka5X0A_4QE0nRxIkKJUajcJ8BNA2SuzQODl30nTd_EagtkSb9D0b402t2RhVdfGt1u7L-Dle_D1QJvrQgA_Q/s1600/026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9RNrW1u6Krl6yfjoGo2I5tv17JfYJ4BO79LBFJWzc_ZXKMmTHGOzUtlka5X0A_4QE0nRxIkKJUajcJ8BNA2SuzQODl30nTd_EagtkSb9D0b402t2RhVdfGt1u7L-Dle_D1QJvrQgA_Q/s320/026.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm 26 weeks along.</div><div style="text-align: center;">That's almost 6 months.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And I'm almost in my third trimester</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
