BUMPDATE: Week 16

Made it to week 16 and I'm glad to report no more morning sickness (woohoo!) Not sure if I can say I got that second trimester energy yet, but definitely feeling better. We had our third doctor's appointment today and guess what?...... WE FOUND OUT THE SEX OF THE BABY!!! Sooooo excited!! I did the genetic blood test at my last appointment and it included the sex of the baby. :) At this point I am not sure if I'll be writing about it, but if I do I'll post a link here.

Summer Seventeen

As summer '17 takes a back seat, I thought it would be nice to look back at the last few busy (but great) months. Starting with no other than my birthday aka Memorial Day weekend. I've always considered this holiday as the start of summer. For this year, we did a short road trip to St. Louis, MO where we visited a handful of local breweries, ate our first "naughty" ice cream at Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery (highly recommend!!), and attended our first St. Louis Cardinals game. Two weeks later, I jumped on a plane and headed to beautiful Palm Spr[...]
