19 Weeks and a Great Visit

We are 19 weeks!! Woo-hoo!

This week Parker is the size of a Mango and weighing in at about a half a pound!! His sensory development is expanding and his brain is developing desginated areas for smell, taste, hearing and vision!! His little scalp is also beginning to sprout hair!! For the most part I have been feeling pretty good. Still down in weight from my pre-prego weight, but I did gain a few pds last month and am actually starting to show a little!!

The past week has been fabulous! We had such a great time with my parents here! We were on the move non stop! Thursday we did dr. appts and that night we took my parents to Bethlehem Brew Works for dinner and the headed to the casino! Friday we headed to Philadelphia and did our big taste test at Pat and Genos...majority of the votes were for Geno's!!! Dad did like Pats cheese better!! It was my first true Philly Cheesesteak and it was sooo good...but the heartburn that followed I could have done without!

After our cheesesteaks we headed to Citizens Bank Park for the Phillies game!! Wayne got us Diamond Club tickets and we were 10 rows back behind home plate! Game was alot of fun. The Phillies were getting killed when we left, but when we got home we saw on the news that they came back in the 9th and beat the Reds!! Guess we were not bringing them any luck!!

Saturday we headed into New Jersey to the USGA Museum. It was really nice and pretty interesting too!! The guys loved it and after going through the museum they were able to go outside and put on greens that were replicas of the greens of St. Andrews in the UK...needless to say putting on greens like those were not as easy as they thought!! While we were there Grandma and Grandpa got some neat items for Parkers nursery and his first book...The ABC's of Golf.

After the museum we headed to Carlo's Bakery. I love the show Cake Boss on TLC and have been wanting to stop by the bakery since we moved up here. I was not prepared for what the line to get in that place would look like. The line was 2 city blocks long...and it is like that EVERYDAY of the week. But we drove over there, so we were gonna wait. Dad and Wayne found a bar down the street and Mom and I waited (they met us as we got closer the the front). After our hour and half wait on the street we waited about 30 minutes once we got inside. We got canolis, lobster rolls, chocolate covered strawberries and a couple other things. Everything was so yummy!! No, we did not see Buddy...but it was still a fun experience!!

Sunday the guys played golf and Mom helped me to FINALLY decide which pics I want to use for my WEDDING ALBUM!! Yes its 3 years later and I have still not ordered it!!!

I know this was a long post...so thanks to those who made it to the end!! Just wanted to share our wonderful weekend!! Thanks again for everything Mom and Dad!! We had so much fun and miss you guys already!!
