Back from NYC

So we are back home from our vacation in NYC and NJ. We had a fantastic time, walked a lot in Manhattan, met friends and stayed in suburbia NJ (would love to live there!) and shopped a lot. I went literally with an empty suitcase and came back with a full one, full with maternity clothes. The prices are almost half and the choices are about 25x as much! Time was flying far too fast and we could easily have stayed a week or two longer - unfortunately hotels in NY are pretty expensive and work wanted us back too.....

The ultrasound just before we left went fine. We could see all the organs and the baby kicked around and waved and everything else. We also found out the gender, so now I am at least knowing what name to look for! And we have a few in mind, but I am open for more suggestions! So if you have kids and you don´t mind revealing their names, please write them to me. We are looking for a traditional biblical Jewish name.

Now the heat has hit Sweden! It was never that hot here when I visited, we have over 30 celcius and no AC or fans! It´s crazy! Hope the temperature will drop soon. I was very happy to leave in a cooler country, especially now that I am pregnant. Since the flight back my feet are totally swollen and filled with water. I tried to sleep with my feet a bit higher and it helped a bit, but no clue what shoes I should wear to work on Monday!

My belly is growing and I start to feel kicks, our baby definitely loves food and as a Swiss baby, loves chocolate! I am still not showing really but I guess my belly will "explode" in the next 3-4 weeks!

Thats about it for now! Hope you are all enjoying summer (or Winter in AU).
