My travels

I don't want this post to sound like one large ramble of complaints. Every day of this pregnancy has been an absolute blessing. We are enjoying every single day and grow more and more excited. But, while stuck in the Atlanta airport for several hours I just had a lot of thoughts going through my head. Since no one is awake-or if they are they're at church-and I have no one to call to share all the crazy thoughts that seem to tumble through my brain I thought I'd share them with all of you.

Most pregnancy symptoms I honestly believed were made up. Cries for attention, weak women, psychosomatic...you name it, I claimed all the pregnant people I knew were guilty of them all. Now, I guess you could say a different light has been shed.

Just this trip alone...
(Oh, and I'm only on day 2)

-Packing was painful. I'm so used to the heat and humidity of the south that packing for some drizzling June Seattle weather when nothing really fits was a challenge.

-I had a complete moment of pregnancy brain to start off my trip. About 1.5 hours from home I realized my cell phone had been left behind. I didn't know how to contact everyone I'm supposed to see without a phone, nor did I feel completely safe to travel solo without a phone. So, we bought new phones yesterday. Luckily we were up for new ones and had been debating the purchase for a long time.

-Catching a 0600 flight without a nap the day before proved to be more difficult than it used to be. I'm well aware the no nap statement is pathetic.

-Sitting for too long hurts. Unfortunately,
so does walking around with a backpack and purse. In fact, I was winded carrying everything up and down the terminal just once...Oye!

But this trip is, of course, worth every little complaint listed above. I've been needing a break from Alabama-weather, food, people, you name it! As much as we like our home in Alabama, we have the itch to move on. It's a familiar feeling, yet it feels so wrong to have not even 6 months into our stay. Going home to the city my heart belongs to will be a good break.

Yesterday was a good break, too. We spent the day in Pensacola (yes, our third weekend in a row for this streak-we're spoiled, we know) with friends enjoying the beach, games, and delicious food.

In order to make sure I take my camera out this week, my goal is to share a favorite picture from each day on here. Since no one wants to see ATL (it's a depressing sight), my favorite picture to share on this post is one that my husband shared with me.

Hadley giving dad some baby holding practice. Wish I could take them along with me.
