baby news first! he's about 2.4 pounds, 10 inches crown to rump or 15.75ish inches head to feet. he seems to be considering moving into a head down position and i can feel him getting up under my ribs. mr. baby is likely to be here in 10-14 weeks! holy crap.
our trip was excellent; it was parker's and my first time to yosemite. we saw lots of the valley, several waterfalls, mirror lake, not to mention deer, coyote, squirrils, and birds. (parker was disappointed we didn't see any bears.) in a desperate moment i was forced to pee in the woods and squatted about 1.5 feet above a sleeping baby rattlesnake (see picture). (parker was disappointed that we wouldn't let her touch it.) we did an 7 mile hike and i carried parker in the backpack for about half of it (yay me, at 6+ months pregnant). we stayed in a motel in mariposa as there was rain and thunderstorms in the park! it turned out to be a good thing because there was a hot tub that we all enjoyed, and much to parker's delight, fruit loops at the continental breakfast! i can't wait to go back when i'm not pregnant.
and as a special treat, a dumb thing said on a mainstream parenting board i lurk on:

i think ulrtasounds (sic) are perfectly safe. Doctors wouldn't do them if they weren't.
