The first of many…
Posted by Robin and Jason on October 3, 2008
Spanky Lulu experienced her first (and second) plane rides this week. Our trip to Florida was completely uneventful and I was thrilled to see that flying while pregnant made me no more nauseous than flying normally. Spanky also got to meet a lot of her future family members.
Spanky and I also experienced our first stomach touching. I am going to reserve judgment on this activity, as many of the repeat offenders are likely to be reading this. I will say, however, that it’s creepy weird. Especially coming from this woman, who bore a striking resemblance to a horse…she was unabashed in her touching of the stomach. And she completely ignored the scowl I gave her. It was really hard to resist the urge to punch her. I didn’t punch her.
Let it just be known that I have never been compelled to reach out and rub someone elses stomach.
Finally, at 21 weeks, Spanky Lulu is the size of a carrot. She is 10.5 inches long and weighs 3/4 of a pound. The weight shocks me. She feels a lot heavier than that. And as I mentioned last week, she continues to reside directly on my bladder. Awesome.

I am glad you do not pass judgment, because thankfully I do not look like a horse, but I love to play with Spanky Lulu, even if she is in your stomach! Lucky for you, I will not see you until Spanky Lulu is born so no more stomaching touching from this camp! It was great to see you and Jason in Florida and lots of love to the three of you!
