mountains and molehills

the weekend forecast was thunderstorms with a chance of rain but that did not deter our intrepid group from making our annual pilgrimage to the north georgia mountains! this year we stayed at mebbie's parents beautimous cabin in cherry log, ga. we spent the weekend doing my favorite activities: bad movie watching (road house, part of megashark vs. giant octopus and the room), cooking/eating, sleeping late and game-playing (no one had the energy for cranium so we focused on dominos). sadly i could not partake in my other favorite activity (drinking) so the others more than made up for me! like flavor flav, they poured some out in my honor...but i think the excess ended up in benson's mouth...thanks guys for a wonderful weekend. however, i am not thanking you for reminding me that this might be the last trip when we are still young and carefree:(...the assumption is that i will basically be wearing breast pads for the next 10 years. thanks again!

on another note...
it seems that in the past 10 days i went from barely showing to having a bit of a mole hill. at first i thought this was a food baby, but it seems it is here to stay! since i went almost 5 months without gaining much girth, i have a feeling that the rapidity with which i will now grow might be astounding! i am imagining one of those puffer fish that blow up to scare away other fish fiends...

without much further ado, here are a few photos from the trip!

it's not a tumor (austrian accent)
not from the trip, but here i am at 20 weeks!

quail eggs to top the burgers

part of the gang, i can almost hear mebbie's unmistakable laugh
