Spring has sprung, but you’d never know it in New York. We received another couple inches of snow yesterday, and I’m still piling on my winter gear. I joke with Jimmy that the weather better warm up soon or I’m moving to CA. I absolutely refuse to buy another coat, and mine are getting mighty tight. Below is a photo of Jackson Square during this morning’s walk to yoga. As much as I complain about the cold, it really was quite beautiful. The photo on the right Jimmy snapped on our way to Trader Joe’s this afternoon (my coat still zips – just barely!).

On Thursday I had a second anatomy scan. This time at my new hospital and they had the fancy 4D video equipment. It was really incredible to see our little girl move about in such great detail. She is definitely a squirmy little one. My favorite pic is of her pointing her index finger. Her knuckles are just so tiny and precious.

I know I haven’t been the greatest about updating the blog, but it’s been for good reason. I’m two weeks into my new job and keeping plenty busy with the new schedule. I’m loving the company and my team, and it feels great to be back in the swing of things, contributing to something bigger than my latest knitting project ;-). The hardest part so far has been the general tiredness (especially in the afternoon), and the feeling that I’m operating with about 1/3 of my usual brain power. But alas, millions of women work while pregnant so I can’t complain.

22 weeks and counting!

This isn’t the greatest bumpie photo but I can tell our little one is getting bigger every day. Her movements have become more fluid and graceful. I like to refer to her as my little lava lamp, as that’s what it feels like when she shifts from one side of the womb to the other. I’ve also noticed she gets the hiccups at least a few times a day. Jimmy had the pleasure of seeing them in action last night during our date night marathon of House of Cards.

Later this week I have another detailed anatomy scan. I’ve switched Dr’s so that I can deliver at NYU Langone – a Baby Friendly hospital in Manhattan. I’m feeling great about the decision to switch from Mount Sinai (not a Baby Friendly hospital) and really like my new Ob/Gyn. She has one of the lowest C-Section rates in the city and is a stickler for weight gain (she recommends 20-25 pounds at most). While I know this will be tough to achieve (especially during Girl Scout cookie season), I’m trying my hardest to stay within the range. Thankfully we’re finally seeing signs of spring in the city, so walking to and from work and yoga should help burn a few extra calories!

That’s all from me for now. Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
