Airlines

So today we ventured back home from our short vacation to see the rents. I'm not even that pregnant and I realized today how horrible plane rides can be for the parasite impaired. Fortunately for me the flight was only a short one hour in the air, but the landing was a different story. My husband is a seriously tall guy so every time we fly he gets the aisle. Yes I know I'm pregnant and I should just make him deal, but it's painful to watch him crunch up like and accordion.....so I was stuck in the window seat, with a kicking toddler behind me, and a pilot who got his license driving bumper cars. Seriously, I thought I was going to toss some cookies during our landing. My husband nervously removed the air sickness bag from the seat pocket just in case. Thank goodness I didn't actually have to use it. This was kind of like keeping a scalpel in your pocket. For those of you who aren't in the field, or those of you who are and think I'm silly....keeping a scalpel in your pocket keeps the bad vibes away :) Yeah a senior surgeon told me that once. So I carry one, in hopes of never having to actually use it for an emergency. I will wave it in the air during a stressful moment in the trauma bay and it seems to calm the masses. (Yes it's still sterile and wrapped, it's not like I'm waving a knife in the air like a crazy person.)
