We get 20 pages of Anya acquisition and we get less than 4 full pages of the plane crash and Shane coming out to his team is handled off screen. In case anyone was wondering.

okay im getting annoyed with my negative attitude lately so i think i just need to remember that i like being pregnant!! ive liked being pregnant this whole time and even though this is definitely the most uncomfortable stretch so far, it's not unmanageable and there is still so much amazement to be found. here's a list of complete joys im experiencing right now:

he's been stretching out his body lately, which is just so cool to think about! right now he has one extremity in my hip and another in my ribs. it doesn't hurt at all, its just a completely new sensation and feels so interesting/weird/wild. he's a little person in there, stretching out in his warm and wet and safe place!

basically every time i speak i think about how he can hear my voice and is learning that's what his mommy sounds like. been trying to sing to him as much as possible.

ive only gained about 10 lbs so far so im not even feeling heavy. i havent had any swelling, carpal tunnel or other common pregnancy pains, which has been a relief! and honestly i sort of love my pregnant body and i really love my bump.

i got his stuff semi-organized for the two months we'll be in this apartment before moving back in with my dad and its so exciting!!! all his little things....

nowadays even when hes not super active, i can just press on my stomach and he'll usually press back on me. its exciting to feel like we're communicating with each other, just mama and baby saying hi. and even when he doesnt i can feel where his body is. 30 weeks in and i still can't completely believe that im growing a person

he's very active when i wake up at night! he's rolls so much and kicks and flutters and waves his hands and even though i really want to sleep, it's lovely to have those dark, quiet hours of just laying there and experiencing my baby

please look through the hiroshima peace memorial museum's august 6 exhibition and the stories of victims and survivors. today, august 6, is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima, and saturday is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please consider these events not only as a series of numbers or even a single day in world history but as the living hell they created for hundred of thousands of people. i realize a lot of people in the world probably don't know as much about the actual circumstances experienced by the people of hiroshima and nagasaki, as well as the indigenous people (downwinders and marshallese) affected by nuclear arms testing by the us, so instead of getting any more angry about how people talk about it (and how they dont talk about it) i just want to share. the images in those links are hard to look at but it's important, if you're in a safe place, please take the time to sit with them and what they say to you, it would mean a lot to me. all of the peace museum's permanent exhibitions are accessible for free online, i strongly recommend exploring them. & free palestine

today is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima. august 9 is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please take some time to remember the lives that were destroyed in these senseless attacks. it's also important to remember that there is no limit to what the united states is willing to do to any people it considers an obstacle to its imperial interest and there is no limit to what it will say in attempt to justify these atrocities.

30 weeks now. some thoughts:

wow im really getting tired. every part of my body feels absolutely exhausted. im only sleeping like 4-5 hours a night because i wake up constantly with shoulder pain or hip pain or baby is rolling or i have to pee. and then it takes me ages to fall back asleep. rolling over into a new position takes forever and hurts and hurts and hurts. its insane how much my body feels different just sitting or standing or walking. my abs hurt constantly. and its hard to think during the day because im just so tired

just been sorta cranky lately, probably because im not sleeping but i feel like everything is pissing me off and annoying me. ugh. not exactly the happy zen attitude i was hoping for during my final trimester.

but i have an iron infusion scheduled for next week which hopefully will make the run down, exhausted feeling a bit better! fingers crossed

going to be (unwillingly) going down to veeeery part time next month at work which sucks because of $$$ reasons but also might be sorta sweet since its the lead up to birth. plenty of chances to rest and recharge.

the weather is turning nicer!! yay!!!! that means it's almost fall which means it's ALMOST TIME FOR BABY!!!

had my shower last weekend so im getting his things organized and getting the "hospital" bag packed for the birth center for when its time to go. eek!!! exciting!!

getting my tenets of parenting organized as well, stuff i really want to formally and officially try to work towards every day. so far i have ideas about how i want us to celebrate diversity, have a deep connection to nature and wildlife, and show all living beings compassion. would love to think of two more foundations of our family.

Well this is bizarre! This bear who just wandered in -- no one we recognize -- has a radio tracking collar. None of the bears are tracked or tagged in Katmai National Park, so this bear has wandered in from elsewhere. Someone over on Explore mentioned that they think some of the bears around King Salmon have tracking collars, so maybe this bear wandered in from there?

I'll let you guys know if we get any updates on this from park staff. I think this is the first time we've seen this happen!

[katmaibearfan]

A better view of the bear in question -- they have a super prominent beard, which is very cute!

Also, Explore has relayed the situation to Katmai staff. Hopefully that can let us know what's going on soon, because this is a fascinating situation!
