The only time it was tricky while camping 30 weeks pregnant was at night, when my hips hurt as I flipped from side to side on my awesome little mat. We went to bed early, as we always do camping, and awoke (well, I awoke a lot more than that) when the tent glowing with morning sun and we could hear the birds again. The solitude, fresh air, picnicking, exploring and good companionship more than made up for the little hip issue. Tim was mightily impressed with how agiley I scooted in and out of the tent. I was appreciative that he took over all setting-up-and-taking-down tent duties (usually my thing) while I would go about laying out our meals on the picnic tables.
On our first night in california we had stayed with a dear friend who sent us off the next day with a full picnic basket ~ including a cotton tablecloth, cloth napkins and beautiful cups and plates. Each night we spread a feast with these things, and we brought them all home to use in our future camping forays, imbued with great memories.

I am loving all of the pictures from your trip. I also camped a lot while pregnant and had no trouble except the getting up to go to the bathroom at night which was chilly and annoying. We took our baby last year a bunch and it was super easy and are excited (and a little nervous!) to take our toddler this summer. He's a handful now so firepit? But we'll figure it out.
Looks like a really beautiful spot.
reading your posts makes me want to go camping . right. now. Hope all is well :)
Wonderful pictures - you are a "happy/beautiful camper."
I turned myself off blogging for a few months while school was hectic, but I did wonder how you and your bun were doing! I never really thought about camping while pregnant but it sounds lovely - when I think about being pregnant one day, I just imagine crankiness and feeling like a giant lumbering pile of swelling awkward, and it seems like it would be so calming to get outside and breathe fresh air and wake up to the birds! I think you'll have a hard time keeping your baby indoors once it's old enough to scoot around. :)
Brooke, I think you have enough imagery stored up from the trip for another show! I love it all.
