Northern California - Taking a break from epic climbs/descents

For several months, I'm just sticking to easier and safer rolling hills for a while.

After that I'm might try training with some added weight. ;)

No ideas yet. I'm at 11 weeks, official due date is July 29. I'd be ok with not finding out but I think MrI will want to.

Either way I'm sure it will be "Incredible"! We're all waiting for the hatchling!

2 weeks of business travel made it hard for me to update.

I'm at 13.5 weeks now.

Here's the ultrasound from 11.5 weeks, everything looks good so far. :)

Just for comparison, here was the one at 7.5 weeks - what a difference 4 weeks makes!

I do have a little bump now but my clothes are still hiding it so far.

Here I am dressed up for my concert at 12 weeks:

Starting to feel a little better now I'm in the second trimester, nausea is down and energy levels are coming back up. :thumb:

Beautiful.

Hey, I can see the family resemblance in the ultrasound pics! :lol::lol::lol:

How did I miss the earlier post? :bang::bang:

Congrats!

Big head - good luck finding a helmet that size!
