Week 17.4- The Trip To Atlanta

I am only a little over four months pregnant and this baby has already been to two countries and several different states...not just any country...but Japan! How many of you out there can say you have been to Asia? I wonder if this baby is going to be a traveler like his mom and dad. The funny thing is I really never traveled much until 2006 when I joined the Japan Program Office. Since then, I can't even count how many countries and states I have been to. I hope this baby isn't a Disney Fan. I've never been a fan of rides- the motion sickness always got in the way so I really can't see myself taking this baby to Disney...I can see a European vacation though...ok, enough day dreaming...I also just saw $$$$$ and my bank account in the red :-)
Back to Atlanta...This is my last business trip (I hope) for a very long time. At least long after the baby is born. Traveling while pregnant is just really tough...the luggage, the towing of the luggage, the people, blah blah blah...particularly when you are all by yourself. I have a lot of respect for pregnant woman who don't have any choice but to travel during pregnancy.

Luckily, my friend Katie loaned me Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy to read and occupy my time. Even if you are not pregnant, this is a hilarious quick read (even for dads!). The book is essentially the raw truth on the various unspoken "things" that can happen to woman during pregnancy. I say "things", but really I mean the horrible, rotten crap woman have to put up with during pregnancy (all for a wonderful cause of course). I love how honest and absolutely blunt Jenny is in her book. She discusses everything from sex during pregnancy to stretch marks and even pooing during pregnancy :-) A must read for any pregnant woman!
