Can Pregnant Women Hibernate?

I am 23 weeks this week (1 week shy of 6 months) and feeling great - other than the perpetual exhaustion. I frequently feel like I've just returned from a trip to Africa in which I had seven connecting flights and accidentally took a pack of Gravol (anti-nausea medication that makes you very drowsy). So, I'm wondering....would it be appropriate for me to just hibernate for the next several months until this critter is ready to pop?

Aiden is going through lots of changes right now - and currently weighs about a pound and is up to 12 inches long! This is a huge difference from even 3 weeks ago when his weight was approximately half that. He has a lot of catching up to do with his friend Cade who was just born
with his daddy's long legs and big feet... no Reeves will be left behind!


We just got our first baby-thing - a beautiful, crocheted yellow blanket from Aiden's great-aunt Leslie - it is soft and warm and beautiful - just like her. Thanks, Aunt Leslie! Although you did give Chase quite the scare, as he got a big dose of reality and realized this is really happening!

We're planning to get started on the nursery in the next month or so, now that our basement has recovered from it's very juvenile flooding stage, and has matured into an appropriately respectful and contributing member of our household. This means that I can move my office downstairs, and that room can be transformed into baby-dom. I can't wait.

Baby showers are scheduled - one for the Bay area on the 25th of April, and one here in Portland on May 16th - so put it on your calendar!

Here are my 23 week pictures....hope you enjoy!
