30 weeks

30 weeks! Wow! I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. The first trimester seemed to go by so slowly and now we're on a 10 week countdown. It doesn't help that I have a list a mile long of things I need to get done in the next two months. Baby Kolberg is getting big and strong (as you can see from my ever growing tummy) and moving around all the time. Yesterday she literally didn't stop moving all day and all night. She must be tired in there. I'm still feeling really great. I finally gave up running 2 weeks ago because I could feel the ligaments in my pelvis loosening and that just didn't feel right. But I am walking a lot, loving my prenatal yoga, and doing some prenatal exercise videos.

Just a few things from my to do list...
1. Shop for and pick new health insurance for our office.
2. Pick a name for Baby K. (I have a name that I love and so I am in the process of convincing Erik that he loves it too. If you really want to know, shoot me an email.)
3. Interview pediatricians.
4. Paint the Baby room.
5. Have furniture delivered.
6. Finish or really start buying the rest of the baby things we need.
And on and on and on...

The Rat Race

While I was hanging out in Dallas, Erik was in Southern Oregon competing in a paragliding competition called The Rat Race. Erik and I are both paragliding pilots and have been wanting to get into competing to have fun, to meet other pilots and to learn from the big boys. Needless to say, I'm not flying right now. So sad. But at least Erik was able to have an amazing week flying.

The Rat Race is a 6 day cross country paragliding competition. The officials set a course each day that the pilots have to follow. Everyone flies with a GPS which marks their course as they fly. At the end of the day, the pilot that crosses each waypoint along the course and reaches goal (the finish) first wins the day. You accumulate points every day and the pilot with the most points at the end of the week wins the competition.

There were around 90 pilots competing this year, 6 pilots from San Diego. Our friend Phil finished in 1st place in the serial class, Gary finished 4th, and Erik finished 10th! Erik was especially honored because this was his first competition. Congratulations Erik!!! San Diego was well represented with 3 pilots in the top ten!

This is the course for the day.

Look at all those pilots!

At the end of the day, you pack up and head to the nearest winery!

Baby Shower

I went home to Dallas last week to hang out with my family and to get a taste of a real summer. While I was in town my Aunt Patti, Carrie, Mama, and Melody threw me a baby shower. It was so beautiful! These ladies definitely outdid themselves! It was so nice to see all my friends and family and of course its always fun to come away with great baby gear and beautiful baby girl clothes. I can't wait to see our baby girl all dressed up in all those cute little dresses! Only 12 weeks to go!
