Whew. It’s been too long since I sat down and wrote one of these things. Ever since we made our little announcement… (On Instagram)

I haven’t really been feeling up to much of anything. Let’s be honest. Morning sickness is REALLY all day sickness. And other moms should really warn you about it. Nonetheless, since hitting the second trimester, I’ve been feeling better and everything is so far so good! Can’t wait to meet our sweet little bundle!

I did take a much needed cookie-cation after Christmas.

C and I headed to New York City for a few days. It was bitter cold and oh so much fun! We even got to see the big tree before they took it down.

We did the normal tourist-y things: Statue of Liberty, saw WICKED, strolled down Fifth Ave, dined at THE Serendipity and indulged in some frozen hot chocolate, walked the Brooklyn Bridge, and traded on Wall Street.

We also got the opportunity to knock something off my bucket list. The TODAY Show!! We got on TV for our 5 seconds of fame and pretty much made for the best moment ever! It was 8 degrees, feeling like -3, but was SO worth it. Even if I couldn’t feel my toes.

Trips with just us two have been something I’ve really treasured throughout our marriage. Something I highly recommend for newlyweds. Take as many trips as you can, spend as much one-on-one time together as you can, take your time and enjoy every minute. You never know when you’ll wake up one day and your life will be forever changed… by two little pink lines on a stick.

Stay tuned – some new recipes and baby bump pictures coming soon!
