I had a fear earlier this year that because I was pregnant I wouldn't be able to enjoy any camping trips but when I had my 23 week doc appt and he told me I could go camping we jumped at the chance to go. Mike and I set up the camper at home long enough to see what was in it, buy what we needed for this trip, and we set out for Elk Flats (up by the South Fork of the Boise River). Memorial Day weekend you are usually questionable about whether or not you'll get a campsite if you don't reserve one but we showed up early Friday afternoon and the campground wasn't even 1/2 full. It was a bit cool but enjoyable. We got set up and I ended up taking a short nap in the camper before we explored the campground. While exploring the campground, I guess I overdid it a wee bit because I started having a few sharp pains but after laying down with a book for a while the pains subsided and all was right again.
Saturday dawned overcast and a bit drizzly but the day soon turned out rather nice. I again ended up taking a short nap midway through the day (not normal for me on a camping trip). We drove up to a few other campgrounds in the area and checked them out for future trips (both pre-baby and after baby born). Saturday ended with a nice rainstorm coming through the area and the campground was still only about 1/2 full.
Sunday we woke up to a drenched campsite and decided that the better part of valor would be to back track to Pine, ID and have breakfast at the little cafe there. After a filling breakfast we decided to go back to camp and come home a day early since I was having some back soreness. We did prove tho that as long as I take it easy we can still camp while I am pregnant.
Here is a picture of me at 26 weeks:)
