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.
