Shopping trip makes me think...

about a trip to Dallas, TX I took with my mom, her friend Judy and her daughter Amy. It was when Jonathan and I lived in Texas. It was a mother/daughter trip. Amy was 7 months pregnant (approximately 28-30 weeks along). We shopped literally ALL day long. We probably walked 7 or more miles that day. After the trip (months later) my mom couldn't believe that we drug Amy around Dallas as big pregnant as she was. You can't fully understand the impact until you've been pregnant yourself. Tonight I was reminded how tired one gets (and how quickly) when pregnant. As I was walking around the mall tonight trying to find a dress to wear to Jonathan's company Christmas party (and yes, I think they even call it a Christmas party), I too can't believe we drug Amy all over Dallas shopping. She must have been EXHAUSTED! I couldn't have walked to one more store tonight and I was only there for 2 hours!! I am trying to justify my tiredness, however. I mean after all...I am 32 weeks (8 months) pregnant...like that somehow makes that much difference...

BTW...I did find a dress. I'm not in love with it, but it's the best I found and since the party is Thursday, I've got to take what I can find! Maybe Jonathan and I can get a picture together on our way out the door and I'll post it.

I can't go shopping with your mom when I'm not pregnant. I can't imagine going when I was. Someone better send poor Amy a late gift asking for forgivness. ;)

Nicole - it's hard to believe you're 32 weeks! It just seems as though you told us you were pregnant. I'm looking forward to seeing a prego pic!!! Jonathan BETTER take a picture!
