To the little person living in Jess's tummy, This weekend was an extension of your parent's honeymoon, sort of. For a wedding present (yup, we weren't married too long ago) we were given a weekend at the Grand Summit hotel at Sunday River, which is a big ski mountain in Maine. We both took the day off on Friday and drove north, stopping at the Great Glen Trails right next to Mount Washington to ski. We had a very nice ski there, and think someday we would like to ski up the Auto Road and try to make the summit in a day.
On our way to the hotel we saw the World's Largest Snow-Woman, who was very big indeed. She had eyelashes made of skis and ears made of entire pine trees. She must have trouble finding clothes in her size.
Saturday we skiied at the Sunday River XC Center, out to a covered bridge and around their whole trail system. I don't think we saw any other pregnant women out there sliding around. Later we went in the heated outdoor pool at the hotel. Your mom didn't want to boil you like a shrimp, so we stayed out of the hot tub and instead formed our own chemosynthetic community around the hydrothermal vent of hot water flowing into the pool.
Also, this week we had an appointment with your doctors. We heard your heartbeat for the second time, which was much easier to find this time around. You need to relax though, your pulse is at 150! The doctor says your heart is the size of an almond. Everything looks great- your mom is taking very good care of you in there!
Tomorrow we'll ski and swim again before heading home again from our little second honeymoon. Glad to have you along on this one! Jess is at 17 weeks!

Hey guys, sounds like you are having some fun skiing up north and that you are getting into the "good months" of pregnancy. Anything seems possible between months 3 and 8, Chris just has to watch out for those "nesting" behaviors. If you come home to find all of your stuff cleaned up but put away in random places, its a good sign that it has started. Anyway, keep the posts coming.
-Chris
