pipe dreams of the perfect pregnancy and travel...

Thanks to an ovulation calendar I found online, I know that I'm fertile again between November 14th-19th for a birth around August 10th, 2010. Or, even better, I'm fertile between December 13th-18th, for a birth around September 8th. Or, best yet, I'm fertile between January 11th-16th for a birth on October 7th.

I would love to be in North Africa and France (the trip we're planning to take after since we fly through Paris en route home anyway) when I'm in my 2nd trimester as I keep hearing it's when a woman feels her best and is physically the strongest during her pregnancy (think 4-6 months). It would be our last chance to travel pre-children and is extraordinarily perfect (financially as the trip would be tacked onto a work trip, time-wise as we take our vacation after long assignments such as a 6 week missions trip, and personally since we both speak French and neither of us have been to France for more than a layover)

If we get pregnant this month though, we may have to reevaluate the trips altogether, since I would be between 6-7 months pregnant on the trip, where I've read I'm much more tired, large (hello baby bump!), uncomfortable (flying, walking, heat, no thanks), emotional, and in general need of living close to a doctor. Ah the dreams we have little or no control over...
