Day One - NYC

After successfully landing in NYC at JFK airport, we awaited the driver Megs had arranged for us. After several attempts to find us, the blue van #656 gathered us and all the luggage up and delivered us safely to 1425 York Avenue....Meg's and Chris' small NYC apartment (pics and video to follow tomorrow). We hung out with Megs for awhile, then we ordered some yummy breakfast from a local diner. Emma took a nap and then Angel followed suit. Megs decided to run me around the local city to several of her stores and stops. I was trusting her with my life as I followed her around this bustling city and held my breath every time we crossed the street with all the crazy cars coming at us. JAY WALKING doesn't matter here!! Then I went with her to her doctor's appointment where she had her first ULTRASOUND of BABY STURHAHN!! Her HCG levels are still very low so all we could see was a little "bubble" where the sac is forming and the endometrium thickening up. She goes next week for another ultrasound and they hope to see the heart rate then. It was a special moment to share. Megs and I then decided that we needed to go get a pedicure so that our feet would look marvelous walking to the park in our flip flops in the warm weather (I now have blisters between my toes from walking in flip flops!). We saw where Meg's old apartment was and went to a local park named, Carl Schultz Park. Angel had a blast playing, sliding, seeing the dog park and getting some fresh air. We enjoyed our walk home and ordered some Turkish food for dinner...yummy!! I gave Megs her birthday present finally (a family holiday cookbook I made her), we watched some home movies and then baths and to bed!! What a fun day to spend together.....can't wait until tomorrow!! Had to post some good pics....but the slide show has ALL of them...too many good ones to list here....so check the slide show out!!

Yay, congratulations Meg! First ultrasounds are always so exciting.

Will you all be able to see the Pope at Yankee stadium on Sunday during your stay?
