Road Trips

I think I am to the point where a car ride over 2 hours is my limit. We did the trek to El Paso which is a little over 9 hours one way over Thanksgiving. Over this weekend we went to Arkansas to celebrate Granny Barnett’s 100th birthday. I did not want to miss the celebration and seeing my new relatives. Well Fort Smith, Arkansas is about 4 hours one way from our house. After two hours in the car I just could not get comfy. The baby was tired of me sitting and wanted some movement. Let me tell you he can pack a punch even being a little less than a pound. We also did the AR trip in one day so it was almost the same as going to El Paso except we had a couple hour break in the middle. By the time I came home I was exhausted and started getting a head cold. But I did not want to go straight to bed since my legs were tired of being stagnant. I did some squats and cleaned up the house a bit to my husband’s dismay. No matter how much he tries to understand and I explain he will never understand what it is like to be pregnant. No matter how much I want to be with family on Christmas I just cannot do the trip to El Paso in a couple of weeks. Flights are too pricey for both of us. I am not sure what we are going to do for Christmas.
