Stifling

I'm so ready for summer to be over with. This wishy washy weather is unbearable and the heat suffocating. We had another mini earthquake in the OC today and of course everyone was freaking out over it. lol. I fortunately/unfortunately did not feel it since I was at my desk shaking away my leg at 20 mph that I missed the real shaking. I know there's technically no such thing as earthquake weather, but I still can't help thinking that I better go get an earthquake kit ready for our house. I'm definitely no Doomsday Prepper, but I think slowly my maternal instincts are starting to kick in, because I feel like I have to protect my unborn daughter by having an emergency contingency plan ready to roll...

On to the baby news...I've slowly been feeling increasing movement in my belly. It seems like it happens usually at night time and right after lunch time. Not super strong kicks or anything like that, but still a definite thump here and there...it was really unnerving the first time I felt it and I kept passing it off as gas, but now I know its really the little gal doing jazzercise in utero. :)

In 3 days we're off to Oahu. Have I mentioned already that I'm really excited? I'm attempting the impossible on this trip...to pack only 1 suitcase for the hubs and me. I figured that I could cut down on the 5 pairs of heels that I'd normally take since I'm preggo and other knick knacks. More importantly, I don't feel like dragging a suitcase through the airport. I know that if we have one, Andy will be forced to be the overseer and do his part as a gentleman. See? Pregnancy brain doesn't affect the creative part of your hypothalamus. kekeke

I'm determined to get some good R&R and brainwash Andy on this trip. I need to get him 100% on board with our little girl's name. Wish me luck!
