Now that all that is over, I may get a bit better about keeping up with the updates. We'll see ; )
It's hard to believe that the halfway point of our baby's time in the womb is so near. I have my next ultrasound just a few days before I reach 20 weeks - on October 19th. We're crossing our fingers that baby cooperates so we can find out just what we're expecting.
Back in Guam, we picked up a book detailing the purported best hikes in Guam and we went on our first last weekend. We went to Haputo Beach, which is on the north end of the island. To get there, you park on the side of the road and descend through the jungle down a long, winding series of largely overgrown limestone steps. It's almost easier going back up than going down. We saw a good many bright, colorful lizards and were eaten alive by mosquitoes, but it was worth it. We definitely need to pick up some repellent before our next hike!

A giant blade of saw grass!

... but wait?

The bottom of the stairs. It's like the incline, only through the jungle instead of up Pikes Peak. I suppose the elevation gain may not be quite as steep.
