Post Holidays Wrap-up

We spent Christmas break in Tribeca with Johann's parents. We did a lot of walking around NYC for 3 days, saw the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall and Jersey Boys and ate a lot of great food. Then we went to Orlando for the New Year, where Johann's aunt Jenny had the whole family over for a big party. We had a great time! In between I got a haircut and another ultrasound.

Konrad (yes, that's his name) moved so much during the end of the ultrasound (when they stop taking measurements and start taking photos), that these were the only ones we could get of him. It's not very good, you can see the outline of his skull and facial bones and an arm. The doctor said he looked great. We'll try to get better pictures next time when we get the 3D ones taken. The pictures of me below are from this past Saturday, I was 24 weeks and 3 days. I feel great, just some occasional heartburn which is manageable as long as I stay away from certain foods and drinks, and don't lay down or recline for a good half hour or more after eating or drinking. The baby's about as big as a grapefruit right now.

I didn't end up going to Boston with Johann after all, but he gave a talk and had some good food and fun with friends from the university of IL and West Point. Work is going well for both of us. Johann took up skiing recently and I have been working on purging more things from our apartment to make room for baby. We started looking for another place to live for this summer, hopefully we find a house to rent. Our house in Urbana is going to get new tenants soon, so we will pull it off the market while its rented.

That's all for now! Hope everyone's having a great new year so far :)
