Diary of a Pregnant Girl: Road Trips

Just a few observations from a road trippin' pregger.

If you were never a backseat driver or Johnny road police... You are now. Your only job as an expecting parent is to protect the child growing inside of you, right? So When you see a truck driver towing two trailers - one hand holding a sammich and the other texting from his iPhone- it is infuriating. Other than shooting my eye lasers his way, there is not much you can do but zoom by and pray he doesn't hurt himself or others.

Next, your butt feels like a lead weight sitting in a car sear for more than an hour. Trying to get out every hour to stretch is totally with it- plus you most likely have to use the ladies room as the baby is bouncing on your bladder. You will look like a schmoe doing windmills, jogging in place and lunging at the convenience store but another thing you realize while being pregnant is somehow your "give-a-shitter" is disabled. This discovery comes in handy, you will find.

So pack a snack and some water, cruise in your comfy loungers, elevate those achy legs if you can, and ride on, road warriors.

I am not willing to give up traveling just yet.
