Getting Adam ready...

So big on tonight's agenda is getting Adam ready for his guys' weekend to the Ozarks with friends from Muscatine. I'm not sure how to necessarily do this since every time packing takes place in this house (save for work), I'm packing for 2 humans and 2 dogs. Packing for one guy is going to be different. I'm sure I'm going to send too much food but at least all the guys will be fed - I figure they'll probably eat it all anyway...who knows. He's scheduled to go with 5 other guys and spend some serious time fishing, hiking, swimming (I'm assuming), and whatever else it is that guys do on a guys' weekend.

Ok...on to baby things. She hasn't made my belly significantly or spontaneously grow like mad, but I think that a symptom of the 1st and 3rd trimesters is trying to sneak in a little early...fatigue. I am used to going and being on the move until at least 9pm, but the past few nights I've been lucky to see 7:30pm and not be seated on a couch at that time. I didn't really care for this symptom when I had it in the 1st trimester, but I suppose that carrying around 20+ lbs around makes for a more fatigued body...go figure.

I've been thinking a little bit more about my weight gain the past few days. I know what has sparked it, and while I'm so happy for that sparking reason, it still makes me nervous that I'm not going to be able to lose it in a timely manner (thinking realistically, don't worry). It's not weighing (no pun intended) on me heavily, but it's something that's in the back of my mind often.

Ok...off to go water the flowers (first time we've needed to all summer!) and get some things done around the house. 27 weeks tomorrow!! Oh wow, this is getting closer...
