That ended all too soon when we woke up on Saturday morning. The food coma that followed our feast resulted in both of us forgetting to close the garage door... We woke up and found that our bikes were gone. The thief/thieves stole both bikes, the change from the RAV and my new Oakleys. Needless to say we are both heartbroken. The Sandy police stopped by and we filed our police report so that we could file a homeowners claim. In the end we are lucky that nothing else was taken, we could be out two cars. So much for a guard dog!
We weren't going to let that get us down, and since we can't bike we packed up the dog and some snacks and headed into the mountains to hike. The Uintas are a range about an hour out of SLC and are a great place to beat the heat. Lake Fehr is a beautiful alpine lake below Mount Baldy (11943ft) and across from Hayden Peak (12479ft). Cal was in the lake immediately, per the usual. We hiked past Lake Fehr and found a shady spot next to a pond to read our books and let Cali play in the water. Another family showed up with a brown lab that was so happy to be in the water that she just barked and swam in circles, it was pretty cute. We came home and made another fabulous meal of home made fried chicken and had drinks with the Whites. All in all a good day considering the theft of our bicycles.

We also made it to the 2nd Trimester! I am finally at 14 weeks and starting to feel like a normal human being again! My stomach is still angry in the morning but I get a reprieve for the rest of the day. I also am getting some energy back and don't feel like collapsing in the couch after work every day. I do still get tired really easy which is so hard to get used to. Having to stop multiple times to rest on our easy hike is still a little embarrassing, but Andy is understanding and helps remind me of my extenuating circumstances.
I signed up for a study that is aimed at first time moms. They are trying to determine if it's possible to predict whether or not a woman will have a complicated pregnancy since they have no previous pregnancies to compare to. I felt compelled to participate being a fellow science geek and they enticed me with 3 extra ultrasounds. Couldn't really turn that down :) I had my first appointment on Wednesday and Andy got to come with and see Baby May for the first time! Of course Mayhem was being feisty (2nd time I've heard that) and staring straight out so we didn't get to see the nice profile. They said everything looked great and that baby was about 4 inches long from head to feet. I'm hoping that I get scheduled for another study appointment before we come home in September so we can possibly find out if it's a boy or a girl. My next normal appointment with an ultrasound isn't until 20 weeks which is at the end of September.
Pants are a little tight but not too much going on yet in the bump region
Till next week!
Love,
Andy and Lexi
