So this morning I went to the doctor about my right foot. I have been having pain on the top of my foot for over a week now, and it is not getting any better. She thinks I have tendonitis and referred me to a physical therapist, who I am going to go see Monday morning. She didn't want to do an x-ray (for obvious reasons) and said without being able to prescribe medication, she wants the physical therapist to check it out and see what kind of treatment we can do.

On a happier note, our little girl has really stepped it up with the kicking. I have been able to feel it all throughout the day, not just when I'm sitting really still or laying down. The movements are getting stronger and more frequent, and twice since yesterday I have been able to feel them with my hand on my stomach from the outside. Last night she was moving a little so we sat with Steven's hand on my stomach but he wasn't able to feel anything. I think this early on, she would have to be in just the right position to kick strong enough to feel on the outside, so we'll keep trying! I'm sure it will be any day now. I feel selfish enjoying them all by myself, and can't wait for him to feel it, too!

A few days ago we drove up to Mt. Baker to check it out. It was such a beautiful drive, and wasn't far at all - less than 2 hours. We ran across Nooksack Falls, which was awesome! Here are a couple of pictures...
