It official... I am no longer traveling for business until after I return from maternity leave. At least not on an airplane. Waddling through airports with a 15lb backpack and a rolling suitcase is a disaster waiting to happen. Maybe I am just out of shape, but seriously, you get tired real quick. Then there is the actual flying itself. Baby VB seems to think that as soon as the plane takes off it is time to do somersaults. Not to mention the fact that you're crammed into the plane like sardines. Worst of all, my flight home was delayed... a lot... which put me at home WAAAAYYY past my bedtime. And, the plane smelt so badly of urine that the people getting on in front of me actually took steps back when boarding. Alas, I made it into my own bed that night.
So after my business trip fiasco, I have my early morning doctors appointment. Blurry eyed I make it on time thinking that my blood pressure is going to be through the roof, but actually it was perfect. Maybe I was too tired to care to get worked up. Gained another 2 lbs... I think that puts be around 15 or so. Doc says its fine and that I am still measuring right on. Baby is doing great. No signs of coming earlier... yet. We're learning a lot about birth and such from online classes, so we're finally getting to a stage where there are questions for the dr. My official opinion, give me the drugs; if I don't have to feel pain, why should I?
I learned that the little 'kicks' I feel consistently are really the baby getting the hiccups. He/she gets them almost every day. I don't know why, but it makes me laugh to think of the little bugger hiccupping away in there.
Final thought for the day... should pregnant women be expected to shave and put on nylons? I am thinking no... both are just too risky. Maybe I will give them up for my New Year's resolution or at least until the baby is here :)

no you should not be expected to shave, but after so long, it gets annoying, that is what your hubby is for :). You know the funniest part of hiccups is their whole bodies move, Parker had them on an ultrasound once, it was really funny.
Funny! Adriella had hiccups every day in my belly too. Now that she's here, she still gets them every day... sometimes more than once!
