Week 13: Looking the Part

It's interesting how this past week, after the doctor's visit, everything seems to go by so quickly.  I am not sure if was the stamp of approval from the doctor to travel and the boost of confidence that this looks like a much more normal pregnancy than last time (He already told me it won't be Vasa Previa again!), and the timing of big monster also hiding away most of the time.  I am able to cook quite a few meals and enjoy flavors and aroma of food.   At last, I am feeling so much more normal like the past 12 weeks was just a distant bad dream.

We booked our tickets to Sweden right away, leaving in a few days.  It will be the longest trip I have ever made while I was pregnant (last time I made one trip only, and it was to Taiwan).  I am looking forward to the last trip before having two kids in tow, and now that Jack-Jack is so much more aware of his surroundings I am sure he will enjoy the experience of the airport and airplane as well.

The visible change this week is I am starting to look the part of being pregnant as well.  I know they all say with #2, your belly expands much faster.  Well, I am unmistakeably looking pregnant as a seat was given up to me on a bus this week.  My boobs are getting ready to be the milk factory again and I could feel the growth and the heaviness.  Now I really need to figure out what I can wear in Scandinavia over the next 1.5 months since last time my maternity clothes are all summer gear and this time I will be spending a lot of time in a place where the maximum temperature is 20 degrees and drops to 10 degrees by the evening.
