Mile High Adventure

I have been called to Atlanta, GA for a two week training for Marriott's Fairfield Inns.  I am now at 24 weeks and although flying in your 2nd trimester is fine, many people still warned me that I should not be flying at all.  Thanks for everyone's concerns but sometimes you have to take a little risk or simply choose the doctors opinion.  So we took to the skies this afternoon for a 4:00pm flight.  I forgot to plan the flight around Florida's daily thunderstorms.  The flight was only delayed for about 30 minutes but the ride up to Atlanta was a bumpy one.  The baby definitely started kicking once they announced the drink cart wasn't coming out (for our safety) and I could only score one bag of peanuts.  I tried to pack some snacks to take on the plane - note to future Moms...SSA will confiscate that jar of peanut butter.  Ultimately, I made it to my destination and ravished the cookies at the front desk on display.  

The big challenges I'm about to face over the next 2 weeks - eating healthy when you're eating out everyday and staying awake through 2 weeks of classes without a large amount of coffee.  

Business travel can get a little lonely but it's nice to know that I'm not completely alone this time.  Baby Butterball Conway keeps reminding me that he's there about every two hours. Anybody visiting Atlanta this week?

Eat healthy, drink lots of water, and don't spend too much time in smoke-filled gambling halls while you're away on the business trip. This is your husband speaking, and I won't tell you what to do anymore though.
