One Down, Two to Go!!

This week we officially entered the second trimester of this little baby's life!! I celebrated by taking a plane ride on Monday to Chicago for work. I spent three days in Chicago visiting several Senator's district offices making sure all the inventory was there. I also had the pleasure of seeing my brother, Jacob, both nights!!! We had great meals and a wonderful time visiting. One night I even braved the cold and walked down to Daley Plaza to partake in the German Christkindlmarket. It was fun to look at all the little shops and trinkets. I could have ate my way through the plaza too, but settled for only a Bavarian Hot Pretzel with mustard. Yum!!

This was the longest time I have ever been away from Alex. I managed pretty well. I kind of enjoyed the quiet time. The little man on the other hand struggled a little more. Daddy said he kept walking around saying "Where'd she go?" Needless to say after getting over the fact that he was out of juice when I first saw him, he was very happy to see me!!!
