It's all over now
P and I have been planning a trip to the USA for quite some time. The original intention was to fly over during my second trimester, and visit with a lot of friends, as well as have a bit of a "final fling" before we become parents. It also happened to coincide with the wedding of one of my very bestest friends, Fat-J.

We made the decision last night that it's just not really an option for us, financially, to make the trip as planned in June and July. Ticket prices are crazy and with a baby on the way, we really can't afford to go spending close to $5000 for airfares. So we won't get to meet Tara & Micah's little girl. Bu won't get to rub my pregnant belly (I'm sorry!). And worst of all, we won't get to attend Fat-J's wedding.

I spoke to her online about it this morning, and had a bit of a cry. I didn't realise just how much I was looking forward to this trip until I realised it wasn't going to happen. But of course, being the wonderful woman that she is, J was totally understanding, and although disappointed seems ok with our decision. So now we are planning a "final fling" a little closer to home. No details yet as to where we will go or when, but stay tuned.

We also are going to try and make a trip to the States this time next year, as ticket prices seem to be a lot cheaper at this time of year. So while all my lovely friends over there won't get to see me pregnant, they'll get to meet the munchkin instead, which personally, I think is a whole lot better anyway.

Oh, and did I mention I wasn't really looking forward to spending 12+ hours on a plane when I'm six months pregnant?

Reading
Your Vegetarian Pregnancy
by Holly Roberts

I have been a little lazy with trying to avoid eating meat lately, which is silly, because I need to be healthy now more than ever. This book should help me feel better and grow a healthy little bean!
