Waimea Bay- A day too early

We got up this morning at 4:30 and headed up to the North Shore in hopes we could see the Eddie Aikau memorial surf contest. From what we heard the waves had reached the 20 plus that was needed but the conditions weren't optimal. They expect that tomorrow will be the day. They are saying 90%...go figure. I couldn't miss work Tuesday so it was go Monday or not at all. Even with out the contest it was really cool to see the HUGE waves and the surfers who were brave enough to go out.

Matt dropped Abby and I off in the parking lot (it closed 5 minutes after we got in) and he parked at the botanical garden across the street. It worked perfectly. We set up the quickshade and the pack and play and just hung out watching the waves for a few hours.








Abby was so exhausted she fell asleep while she was drinking her bottle and even stayed asleep when we put her in the sling. As you Abby this hasn't happened in at least 6 months..she is not a big fan of cuddling and generally needs here own space to fall asleep so we cherished the moment:)


As we were walking around this woman stopped me and asked if I was "harboring a fugitive"...clever! She then proceeded to rub my belly for about a minute and said "don't worry I am a labor and delivery nurse I have a knack for these things." After feeling around she then stated that I was probably 29 weeks pregnant! "Uh, 22 weeks actually." I replied. Not exactly the self-esteem boost that I would have appreciated. Hasn't she ever heard you should guess low when weight or age is involved! Anyway, I think Matt was more upset that I was because he has to deal with me:).
