25 weeks / by jen geigley

I spent the last part of my 25th week in beautiful nyc with three of my girlfriends. It was a total last-minute adventure that happened to work out for all of us, and I'm so happy that we were all able to meet up. I had an appointment with my doc right before I left and she gave me a permission slip to fly.  During my stay, my belly button officially popped out. I consumed donuts, meatballs, fried chicken, pancakes and pizza. I taught a friend how to knit using two paintbrushes instead of needles. I took the G and L trains all by myself. We perused fabric shops, yarn shops, handmade/vintage markets, breakfast joints and coffee houses. It was fantastically perfect.
It was just what I needed; a long weekend with quality girl time, good food and that little bit of freedom that everyone longs for once in awhile. Don't get me wrong – I love my family with every single particle of my being, but this short getaway was such a refresher. I came back better and brighter because of it. (And also a bit rounder.)  
More nyc pics and stories to come.
