New York City!

I just got back last night from a quick trip to NYC and Parsippany, NJ....1st time up that way for me! An orthopedic company flew me and 3 other podiatrists up to NYC on Thursday and we spent the whole day touring the city and then Thursday night we headed up to Parsippany and Friday we spent all day at the ortho company's site where we were able to do cadaver labs and learn about some new products. NYC was great! I had such a different impression of it before going there....but we had a great time, didn't have any problems and nothing got stolen! It's still not a place I would ever want to live, but definitely a place where I hope AJ and I can go back and visit sometime.

One of the new World Trade towers being constructed....this is a site just east of the original site.....we couldn't go to Ground Zero because they have it under construction for the memorial being built there.....we were only able to get drive-by pictures so not much to see

The baby did well with the traveling.....kicked around alot, so maybe he likes to travel???
We are now 27 weeks and here's what's going on with him now:
This week, your baby weighs 2 pounds and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
He keeps getting bigger and bigger every day....well it seems my belly is getting bigger every day at least! His movements keep getting stronger and harder and he often misshapes my belly with his gymnastics! But so far everything is going well....I passed my glucose testing the first time around so I don't have to repeat that!! We are now heading into our last trimester!! We now have the dresser in the nursery but we are still waiting on the crib....but decorating ideas are slowly starting to come to me....finally!! AJ and I are looking forward to the upcoming months and cannot wait to meet our little boy in 3 months!
