Sightseeing and a heartbeat!

Well it's been a very busy 2 weeks! We took a trip to Washington DC for Kris' spring break which was so much fun! I never thought I would like DC much (the city it's self) BUT it's like taking the beautiful parts of New York, the action without the intense crowds and FREE stuff to do almost everywhere you go! I loved it.

Our trip started off visiting some friends in Virginia which was really nice. They even left tootsie rolls on our pillows (instead of mints!) The next day we headed towards DC with a stop at Mount Vernon.

16 weeks!

Kris had the honor of reading George Washington's prayer at a wreath laying ceremony at his grave side.

We headed to DC around dinner time and enjoyed a delicious meal in Dupont Circle. The next few days were filled with tons of WALKING which was actually wonderful since there was so much to see!

We caught the tail end of Cherry Blossom Season

Kris & I at the White House

Good Friday we saw men dressed as Roman soldiers walking around with a man dressed as Jesus carrying his cross. 

Our friends met us up in DC for the last few days and we were so glad to have them with us!

Our feet were DONE for and the Metro was just what we needed at the end of the night!

After getting back from DC we had something else exciting to look forward to... hearing our baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was so wonderful hearing that my little one was happily swishing around inside and his/her heart was beating at a low 140- possibly boy? We will find out in 4 more weeks!

Next post will have a better bump picture since it's growing and my clothes aren't!

But this one will be going in the little one's baby book:

We are now in the 17th week and feeling little tiny kicks from within... very excited to have Kris start feeling the baby soon!
