Western Spirit Cycling

I just had a visit yesterday with the Midwife. All is well, and we have 8 weeks to go (give or take 2 weeks) which means that I have 8 weeks until I get to ride my bike again, right?

Maybe I’m too hopeful? My friends who have had children are not so optimistic. OK-I hear you. But, can I daydream at least?

My dream….Costa Rica in February. Western Spirit has a bike trip going to Costa Rica La Vuelta Sur (the Southern Tour) in February. Mmmmmmm. Rainforest. Volcanoes. The Pacific Ocean. Beaches. Rivers. On this trip I would get to ride my bike, hike across the Irazu volcano, raft the Pacuare River, sea kayak in the Pacific, and eat great food all week long. Multi-sport sounds really good to me right now, as I sit at my computer and blog my heart out.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I could not be happier to be pregnant right now in my life. I would not trade anything for the experience that I’m going to have giving birth in February. Not even Costa Rica. Really. I’d rather be sitting in the birthing tub than sitting in the Pacuare or the Pacific. Next year? We’ll see. My dreams might be changing as quickly as the shape of my belly. I may just crave the comfort of a place like the Grand Tetons to take my little boy. Who knows?

Right now, I’m just dreaming of biking and Christmas ham.
