Pregnancy
Holiday Road Trip – All While Being Very Pregnant!
Let the holiday fun begin! And stress too, lol! I’ve been doing mounds of laundry today and will be packing tonight for our trip to visit Hubby’s family in Texas for the holidays. Packing always causes me stress (stresser #1) since I’m afraid I’m going to forget something. Yep, you can always buy whatever you forget, but I’d really rather not spend the money if I already have it!
Stresser #2 and #3…leaving the house and the pugs. *Solution *- my dad was kind enough to house-sit and watch our pugs while we are gone. Thank goodness for family that lives close. Plus, who wants to leave this behind:

| A tired Tater pug! |
Now that I know the house and dogs will be in good hands, I’m more relieved!
Stresser #4 – my bladder! Lol, being in a car from Delaware to Texas is kind of freaking me out if I find myself to have a pregnant bladder emergency in the middle of nowhere. I’m sooo pregnant, that I’ll probably have no problem of dropping trou in the woods…but my concern is not being able to get back up again after squatting…hahaha! So…I’ll just try not to drink a ton of liquid on the ride.
Last but not least stresser #5 – stupid people on the road. I’m not too concerned with Hubby’s driving abilities (well, maybe I am sometimes, lol!) but there are just too many people out there who don’t pay attention while driving. I just really don’t want to have anyone rear-end us or cause us to be in an accident. Oh and I can’t stand people texting while driving…and I see it all the time! Grrr…people need to stop!
Okay so I’m finished with my rant…and you might be wondering why we’re just not flying in the first place. Well, I’m not too keen on flying…yep, Hubby is in the Air Force and I’m not a fan of planes, haha! I also don’t want to deal with the craziness of the airports this time of year. Too many people stuck in one area, and then I’m bound to get a cold/flu from it all. And finally, I kind of like the idea of taking our last road trip together before baby Mabel gets here. Kind of a mini-vacation with just me and the husband! 🙂
Good luck to you on the trip, and Merry Christmas!
Aww sounds like it will be a blast! Have fun and Happy Holidays!
I hope you enjoy the trip!! Here is hoping for a smooth ride & lots of fun!.
Lol at not liking planes while hubby is in the airforce! Have a good holiday babymoon. Good luck on the road!
Be sure you stop once an hour or so to get out an walk around– it's inconvenient but it can keep you from swelling up so much & reduce risk of blood clots and all that fun stuff. lol advice from my sister in law- she's on baby #3… and if all goes well I will be pregnant on our beach vacation this summer 😉
I just went on a plane ride a week and a half ago and it was not fun. Especially when they pack as many people on the plane as possible. To crowded! Plus you can stop any time you want unlike me who was stuck on a plane for 5 hours.
Merry Christmas! You should be getting better roads and weather the closer you get to Texas. Be safe =)
Have fun on your trip!
