Tell Em Large Marge Sent Ya

I've gotten to the point of this pregnancy where I am feeling large. The baby has started crowding my organs, making it hard to breathe at times, my chest does not look like my chest and I am embarassed to admit that my huge belly has contributed to me actually outgrowing two pairs of pregnancy pants that have a waist that goes under the belly. They are uncomfortable, so I am not wearing them! My innie belly button has popped out. How much more can I stretch? I still have 11 weeks to go... I keep having these scary thoughts that I am going to deliver early. Seems like everyone I've known who has been pregnant has had an early delivery lately.

Mike and I leave for Ireland on Friday, so hopefully Peanut will not make his appearance there or he's getting an Irish first name. Declan? We really haven't put a lot of effort into this trip, but do know we will be taking our first weekend free to explore Dingle. Then the second we will do the Ring of Kerry and then head east to Dublin for St. Paddy's day. Dr. S. has cleared me for 1 pint in Ireland, so I plan on dividing that up into two half pints. One on the Guinness Tour and the other in a pub. Outside of Mike teaching in Limerick, we are staying at 3 B&Bs while we are there. Can't wait to explore small town Ireland in Dingle and Kenmare and then stay in our pub in Dublin. Yes, we are staying in a pub. That's what happens when you wait to make your hotel reservations only a few days before St. Patrick's weekend! Should be interesting! Can't wait to don my raincoat and experience Ireland's shamrock shores!
