We only have two more days left until our big triangle vacation. We are spending an extra few days in Great Falls to take a little side trip to Seeley Lake and Missoula. My aunt and her family (including my cousin Amy) have a cabin in Seeley where they basically live now. It's been years since I have been up there. And how I miss Missoula! I can't wait to just check out the town again for a day. It will be a busy trip as it usually is...many people to see in both places. I am nervous about how Bennett is going to do on the trip. We got a DVD player so there would be something else to entertain him in the car seat. I don't love sticking him in front of the TV, but 11-12 hours is a long time to be in the car.

Yo Gabba Gabba is coming to town in November. I will either be with a newborn or extremely pregnant, so I don't think I will be able to go. But I really want Bennett to go. I will have to continue to try and convince Bernie to take him. Kristen made it seem like a good show. And Bennett should be at about the right age to enjoy it.

Speaking of Kristen, she, Phil, and Ava are visiting in August. I can't wait! Visitors are my favorite. I will have to start putting together a list of things to do. Summer in Colorado is very nice and there are endless activities, so many that we haven't even started to do them all. I think breweries/wineries will have to be on the list.

Bernie and I are in the midst of discussing names. It was easy with Bennett because we already knew what we would name a boy before we even got married. Girl names are much more difficult. I have a long list of names I like and I'm not sure if Bernie likes any of them. I am still waiting on him for his list...

We hit 20 weeks tomorrow. It's hard to believe we are already halfway to a 40 week due date. I would be ecstatic to get within four weeks of that. There are big milestones to get through first. Four more weeks to "viability," 28 weeks for a 2 lb baby, 31 weeks when Bennett was born, 34 weeks for decent lung maturity, etc. I just need to breathe and take every day by itself. My anxiety level is high and affects my mood. Sometimes I wake up in a panic in the middle of the night. But there are no symptoms yet and I am trying to stay positive. We will have another ultrasound the first week in July, which will hopefully it will be reassuring.

I got a bit of stress relief last night. I had a mom's night out with some of my mom friends here. We went to dinner and a movie and had a lot of fun. It was nice to get out with a group of women without our children for an evening.
