November 2015


Winter has arrived in Bozeman! 






Melissa & Jeff moved to Big Sky! Melissa doesn't start her position at Big Sky Resort until December so she spent a lot of time with us in November. 



Hiking Sourdough Canyon 











Hiking S Cottonwood 






























Bozeman Hot Springs 














Ella's school picture - I had a new outfit for her and we planned to do her hair but she woke up and decided she wanted to wear the same outfit that she wore for our family pictures last year and had her friend do her hair. Next year, I'm not planning anything! 


Sunday morning walk with Melissa, Jeff & Belle

Blizzard in Bozeman = yoga at the library with Melissa 



They were angels for Melissa while Mark & I went out 




22 weeks in this picture - I feel how I look...huge and tired. This surrogate pregnancy has not been easy. I have lost 3/4 of my hair - I have abnormally thick hair so it's hard to tell but it's falling out in clumps! I'm going to ask my midwife for a blood test tomorrow to see if I'm deficient in something. My entire body is breaking out. I'm exhausted  all the time. I have heart burn that feels like knives coming up my throat. The headaches continue.  I am not the pregnancy goddess I was while I was pregnant with my kids. I hope the moment I see the dads meet their baby it will be worth it. 

I try not to think about splitting up our family in less than 2 months so I can travel back to CO to wait for this baby to arrive but I find myself worrying about it all the time. I haven't been away from Ella for more than a night and I might have to be away from her for 2 months or more! I haven't found a place close to the birth center to stay while I'm there. Fortunately, Mark's mom is going to stay with Mark & Ella for 3 weeks. We are all going to miss each other like crazy!
