Travel

Yesterday I got to spend the day with family, celebrating the upcoming arrival of my nephew. Overall a great day filled with love and joy of the new baby that will be joining us this September. The bad thing about my family is that they live so far away. Every event or visit is a full day of driving. It used to be that this wasn't a problem. Just annoying since I'm an impatient person and being in the car for close to 3 hours at a time was just boring. Well lately it's more than just boring. I am realizing how uncomfortable travel can be while pregnant. I am now 6 months and having to pee all the time. Just sitting in the car can be frustrasting. I don't want to stop all the time and make the trip longer, so I just wait until I can't wait any longer and then we have to make a bathroom stop. By doing this, I just get uncomfortable everywhere. Especially if we hit a bump. And then there's just the travel itself. Sitting for that amount of time is very uncomfortable. My legs get really sore and then when I do get the chance to get up, its tough to walk becuase I either have to pee so bad or my leg muscles are so tense. Here's the thing that gets me, out of the next 16 weekends left in my pregnancy, we already have plans to travel for more than 2 hours at a time on 8 of them. One of those weekends includes a trip (hopefully) to Canada. And then once Isabella is born, we'll be in the holiday season so we'll see how much travelling will be with her.
