Last Wednesday Pablo’s Grandmother passed so Thursday we left for Chicago for the services.
Wednesday at my dr appointment I made sure to get a letter from the dr saying I was ok to fly and Thursday morning I went over possible conversations with air port personnel in my head. I went though check-in, security, and boarding with not much more than “oh your pregnant, how nice” Thursday night we had to land in Madison Wisconsin to refuel, and let me just say hearing the captain say we have to land to refuel is a tad unsettling, especially when he sounds stressed. While waiting for the ok to take off again I, along with every other passenger decided to pee and while waiting the stewardesses started to chit chat with me. At one point one said to the other isn’t there some rule that says you can’t fly after a certain point? According to the airline’s website if traveling in your 9th month you need a note from your dr, but what good is that “rule” is no one knows exactly what it is, and how is anyone supposed to figure out if someone is in their 9th month or not. And if there was some rule and I was breaking it wasn’t it a little late at that pint to do anything. Coming home no one said anything to me. They did confiscate our niece’s hair products, so while it’s possible to be on a plane and have a fellow passenger go into labor, you do not have to worry about 12 year old girls fixing their hair.
Chicago is butt cold. There were a few times we were outside for more than 2 minuets and I started to think ah it’s not really so bad, but after going back inside I realized it was that bad and my body had just gone numb.
It was nice visiting/meeting/getting to know family even though the circumstances were crummy. The trip was short and we really want to go back, but for now we are glad to be home.
Tomorrow was supposed to be my last day of work but I cannot log into my e-mail or connect to my computer remotely so I’m thinking maybe they decided they were done with me. A big part of me wants to blow tomorrow off since after being gone for a couple of days it takes some time to get back into the grove so I feel like it will be pointless, but I like the person that is going to cover for me and I will be going back to so I need my boss to have found memories of me so I will go and I will go in for half a day on Wednesday as well.
I’ll probably take my 36 week belly pic tomorrowand post it at some point in the future

I am so glad you got home safely. And hay that would be a trip that no one were to forget if you had Keelin in the airplane. It must have stinked walking up and down the aisle with Keelin sticking her cute little self out all over the place. I hope the passengers took your condition into consideration and let you go ahead of them. And like how would airline security know you were really with child and not smuulgeing drugs in that big belly of yours. Did you have to go through x-ray and did the say that it was safer for the baby? Hopefully she won't grow an extra finger or something like that. Love you guys and I am glad you had a good trip.
