From the pass we descended to camp at Mokowanis Lake, then awoke early the next morning to summit Mt Merritt (pictured above), which at 10,004 ft is one of the six esteemed "10,ooo-footers" in Glacier. The final day we backtracked to Stoney Indian Pass, traversed scree sills beneath Stoney Indian Peaks and stood on the highest mountain in the entire park, 10,466 ft Mt Cleveland, before dropping back down to Goat Haunt.

The Amazing Elastic Abdomen
Here we are on December 7th, and although there is some rounding going on, there still isn't too much pronounced "baby belly". At this point Christa was getting eager to see some big change. We had no idea what was in store over the next few weeks....
The growth spurt hits! This one is from January 11th, and as the photo shows Christa's belly really has begun sloping nicely. It is incredible how fast this happened! We don't know exact weight gain during the spurt, but let's just say that she has gained 17 lbs so far and at least half of that in the first three weeks of January! Wow! This entire pregnancy is one amazing adaptation after another. I am continually in awe of Christa's ability to be the perfect vessel for this growing child, and the baby isn't even here yet!
This is documentation of something Christa holds near and dear to her, and is very reluctant to lose. Yes, that is her "innie" belly button quickly becoming an "outie". It will be a sad day for her when the inner navel pushes out, but I try reassuring her that the change is temporary.
