I sincerely expect this to be my last pregnancy. I have been a bit amazed and bemused at how few details I can recall of the other pregnancies. I recall emotions, overall impressions, but certainly no dates or real facts. This blog is to keep an accurate record of just a few thoughts for this, my last journey through pregnancy.

Threatening baby
Had a new experience while traveling to Seattle this week for work. On the way home, security at Seattle's airport was fierce. I got all my items through. I got through the scanner. Then, I was waved aside into a plexiglass booth. The walls kept me confined but certainly provided no privacy as I was informed by a gloved woman that she would need to "pat down my belly" and then my legs, which were "obscured" by my dress. Seriously? At least she looked as embarassed about it as I did. What if I in fact had NOT been 14 weeks pregnant? How would I feel about the implication that my belly was big enough to be harboring hazardous substances? And it did make me wonder, after seeing this website a few days later (men's sympathy baby bumps Man Bumps) - how often do they pat down a man with a paunch?
