Ski trip I will never forget. I can't wait to tell our little nugget the story of Steamboat Springs when he/she gets bigger.

After a quick trip to the ER for an ultrasound we were off to Steamboat Springs CO. Back to the ER thing.. I woke up the morning we were supposed to leave feeling like something was wrong. All pregnancy symptoms were gone and I was kinda feeling cramping. I called my dr at 6 a.m. that morning, basically she told me that I wasn't God and if I was worried about the baby I needed to be flexible and find a place open to do a ultrasound. I guess she was right. There aren't techs lined up at 6:00 in the morning waiting for neurotic pregnancy women to come in... or is there...?

We got in to the ER quickly and they checked the baby. Everything on ultrasound showed up great. Heartbeat went up 20 beats per minute. It was a false alarm. Jan is convinced there will be many more to come. I was just happy we could get on the road and get this long drive over with.

So with my urpy meds with me ($20.00 a pill might I add).. we started our drive. When I say our I mean Jan's parents, my seven year old step daughter and 2 dogs. That is a lot of luggage, and pee breaks. I felt like a jerk but thankfully I got shotgun, front seat.

We spent the night in Alliance with my folks to break up the drive and drop off the dogs. Bless my husband for doing most of the driving.

So to get this entry done, we almost ran out of gas on the WY border. Down to what we thought were drops and fumes. There is no gas stations for miles out there!

We skied a bit, Morgan did great in ski school. We enjoyed a trip to the hot springs on one of the mountains. It had 4 different natural pools we could soak in while it snowed around us.









The condo was amazing, we had 3 huge rooms for all of us and a full kitchen and living room. Unfortunately the rooms also came with a party hearty group above us. It hit me how much things were changing and how much more it was going to continue to. I love giving baths, and saying prayers before bed with Morgan and daddy. It is a part of me that is new and undiscovered. What I don't love is the feeling of getting older and realizing it's time to grow up. Part of me remembered being the girl in the condo upstairs. Listening to loud music while picking out the perfect outfit before going out to paint the town.
