Today I'm flying to the States
for a short visit home
to be pampered by some really amazing women
who are spoiling our babies with showers.
{We feel pretty loved.}
I'm flying solo on this leg
until Tyler arrives later next week.
While that may seem pretty standard,
it's actually a thought that is rocking my world.
I've flown these long-hauls flights so many times alone over the years.
Whether I was flying home from a summer in Africa in college,
flying to/from a trade show in Italy for work,
or heading to the States while Tyler was in classes at Oxford,
I'm pretty used to doing this on my own.
So the idea that this will probably be the last time I do this journey alone
for the unforeseeable future
is kinda rocking my world.
I made this video last year
for an American Airlines promo last year
and, for some silly reason,
it still gets me when I watch it.
Something about traveling, family, heading home, Coldplay...
well, it just combines so many things that I love in one short little clip.
Bon Voyage!
Is it bad luck to wish that for yourself?
Oh well!
With as much as my back aches while sitting these days,
I'm taking all the self-prescribed well wishes I can get. :)
I'm taking all the self-prescribed well wishes I can get. :)
I think you are the happiest, most grateful, pregnant woman ever - bon voyage!

ReplyDeletetravel safe and have an amazing time back home!! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI remember you posting that video before, but I don't think I watched it that time. It's so cute! And shows me that I need to start doing some little videos when we travel. This summer we went on three different trips, and I took 1,000,000 pictures, but no videos. Bummer!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this quiet flight. Your life is sure going to change a lot, but it will be amazing!
what a great little video! you should do more of these vlog type posts :) safe journey home!!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun looking at old videos! I was just cleaning out my phone and watching old videos from forever ago, and one was a commercial for a cleaning product I had made with friends, and it had me crying with laughter at the end of it!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned you in a new post on my blog regarding bloggers that inspire me. Hope you'll take a moment to check it out!
Have fun at home, and a safe flight both ways!!

ReplyDeletei mean, does it just ba-loww your mind sometimes when you think of all the places you've been? you will have so many stories for your babies! and then they'll be cool travelers too and they'll have so many cool stories and you'll be a cool traveling family and duchess kate will hear all about you and invite you on their family safari one year! can you believe it?

ReplyDeleteI love that video! I remember when you first posted it. Have fun Lauren and enjoy every second of your family who will, no doubt, be petting and feeling your baby bump.
ReplyDeleteBuon viaggio!! I live in Italy with my boyfriend, but have been traveling back to the States every few months (stupid visa, thanks a lot) and I hate hate hate those long flights by myself. It's amazing how much better a flight is when you have your person there with you. Hope you have a lovely shower!
