So one month from today we will be flying to Bangkok. I'm so excited because I know once I am there I will breath a little easier when it comes to contractions, Judah being born, etc. There are, however, a few things that worry me about this trip though. First of all we have to get to KM to catch our flight. Not usually an issue but for the past couple of months they have been working on the main road that takes us there. When I came back from TL in April the normal 4 hours bus ride took 8 hours. We have decided to take a car to hopefully make it more comfortable for us (me) and cars usually have less trouble passing through the construction, but at one point they closed the road entirely. The side going from here to there is now the one getting the majority of the work. Also, once we get to the airport we have to deal with the airline questioning whether or not I can fly. We know the policy--up to 37 weeks for a flight less than 4 hours, with a doctor's note--but since I was questioned and asked for proof when I left at 23 weeks I know there will be trouble this time. We will have the appropriate doctor's note and other documentation--I even plan to bring a printout of their policy with me--but I'm still really anxious about it.
So what I've been trying to concentrate on is just getting to that point. Being as prayed up and prepared as possible. I will be 35 weeks and since I already look to them like I'm due I know I will look huge to them then. But I'm praying for no trouble. I'm praying that the check in clerk will not even question us and we can board without issue. I'm also specificaly praying that I will feel especially good that day so I will have plenty of patience and everything else needed when traveling with a two year old and a four year old and still appear to be the picture of perfect pregnancy health--even if I'm not.
Please pray with me. If anything it will calm my nerves.

Girlfriend, I will be praying for you! Wow that is a lot but God is good and he takes care of us if we will just trust in Him and start speaking those positive things. I am talking to myself here too :) Just know I am thinking about you and praying along with you. Love you!
Wow....all those little challenges! I know He will provide...but yes, I will be praying along with you. I sure do hope the road is ok. Only there....remember when we landed in a different city...and no one acted like it was strange?
Oh, Rachel. I will be definitely be thinking of you and crossing my fingers the challenges and obstacles you face as you approach Judah's birth are minimal.
