Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

So, the headline in the local paper today said that we are experiencing the coldest winter in Ireland in the last 18 years. It's been in the 30's this week, but feels like it's in the 20's. I heard in Dublin they had enough snow to cancel flights today, which is very unusual. We haven't had any snow that stuck, so I guess we're lucky! The crazy part is that this past summer everyone said that it was the worst/wettest summer in recent memory. So, I have to ask the question.....why is this all happening the year that we move to Galway?? For a Southern California girl, it is really testing me. :o)

Next week Marco has to attend some big conference for work in Cork, which is a couple of hours south of Galway. We have another friend that is going down to see her boyfriend, so I decided to ride along and see a different part of the country next weekend. To be honest, I'm not really sure what there is to do in Cork, but it should be fun to do a little road trip!

I'm now 19 weeks pregnant and am really starting to feel the baby move around! Maybe it's swimming or doing salsa dancing or has the hiccups. It's fun to imagine what is happening in there. This morning was the first time that Marco could actually feel the baby move, and that was pretty exciting. I'm still feeling good and can't believe we are almost halfway there....yikes.
