Before I fly....
We're leaving for our mini winter vacation in about 8 hours time, and I'm having so much trouble packing. None of my tops seem to be long enough to cover my growing belly. And even if they do right now, I doubt it'll stay covered after a meal over there. Dave says I should bring as much stuff as I want to... including the boots, jackets, bags; he knows how much I'm missing the winter and its fashion! But alas... I can't even button up my pretty trench coat!
Still, I'm feeling all excited about our babymoon! And we'll be celebrating our 8th Wedding Anniversary as well!!! All dinner plans have more or less been firmed up... can't wait to see some old friends and just chilling out in the city that's still very much home to me.
Was reading up on some tips to make a flight for a 26 weeks preggy a more comfortable one:
(1) drink plenty of water
(2) avoid caffeine
(3) don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)
(4) walk the aisles to keep the circulation in the body
(5) stretch while sitting
(6) wear loose fitting clothing
(7) wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)
(8) wear maternity support pantyhose or socks
(9) get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room
(10) eat light foods
(11) eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals
(12) do not eat salt
(13) place seat belt under abdomen

I should be all set...
once I settle my luggage, that is!
Will be back in a week... till then!!!
