The unknown

We booked our trip to Oahu and Kauai. We have spoken about this trip many, many times and it was time to book it. Tickets were very inexpensive too which was I believe why J had such an urgent tone to his voice when he asked me about good dates.

We were planning on late April or early May. Until I found out we were pregnant. It is very hard for me to think that far ahead in this pregnancy. I have not even gotten beta #2 for crying out loud (should be today!) but I am realizing I cannot be controlled by the constant unknown.

I have no idea when I can and cannot fly when pregnant. I assumed that if Sprout sticks around, I will be roughly 30 weeks in early May. Not flying then, I know that.

We thought about scratching the whole deal but I am not going to be controlled by the unknown. I do not know if I will be pregnant in the Spring. All that I know is I am pregnant today and I am grateful (come on doubling beta!). I know I may be pregnant in the Spring so we planned around that.

January 22 - February 3.....the last thirteen days that I am 29 as well.

I hope I still have my baby with me on this trip...

I think it is good you aren't second guessing yourself too much or trying to anticipate the unknowns....but I also can imagine how hard that must be.

I think those dates will be perfect. You will be into your 2nd trimester, but not very big - I am excited for you and I believe that all THREE of you will be there and have an amazing time!!!! :) What baby wouldn't stick around for a vacation to Hawaii???

-ok, I hope it wasn't insensitive for me to joke a little there....

I know just how you feel - the first time around I planned things around the due date. I have since learned my lesson.

I hope this is not a worry for you and come January you are shopping for a maternity bathing suit!

I'm glad that even though you're pregnant, you're not forgetting to LIVE LIFE!! I'm praying for doubles on your next beta!! Keep us posted!!

30 weeks? You should go! It will be a great time and you can totally fly. I flew up through 36 weeks. :)

Congrats on the pregnancy. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

And good for you for planning the trip! You deserve a vacation!

I'll go if you can't.

My doctor would have let me travel until the very end. It all depends on how the pregnancy has gone. At 30 weeks with a healthy pregnancy you doctor may wish you well.
