Hawk Talk
The Wild Animal Park is one of the most special places in San Diego. In this town we have a zoo and an animal park. The animal park has several shows, one of which is the bird show. If you visit this town, you must come see it. Right after the bird show is another one called "hawk talk" where they let you get an up close an personal with hawks and an owl. They also let you ask a million questions. This is one of the hawks they were showing that day. Beautiful animal. Taken with the 70-200 f/4.

Exhaustion
I am still planning on writing more about my pregnancy. I have a whole list and everything. I also have a list of other to-do items. A long list. A list full of stuff I want to do. Another list of stuff I promised to do. Another list of stuff I really should do. All these lists are sitting prettily on my desk, staring me in the face. And not getting done.

I was told that by the end of the fourth month I was supposed to get my second wind. The throwing up would end, the "Holy-crap-I'm-so-big" phase wouldn't have started yet so I'd have a few months of full force energy. I was told it would be even better than usual. I would have all this *extra* energy. Yey, I thought, I could use some of that extra energy to get stuff done before the baby comes.

Well, here I am at 26 weeks. While I'm definitely not puking my brains out, and while I am really appreciating that fact, I certainly don't have my energy back. Actually, last week I've been more exhausted than usual. I've had a hard time getting up from bed and keeping myself awake and alert throughout the day. I look at my lists but I don't reach out for them. I just lie down, close my eyes, and hope that tomorrow will be more productive.

Here's to hoping.
