Where have we been?

Well the answer is we have been half way around the world and back. We are very sorry to have left all of you loyal followers in the lurch for so long, but it turns out we have had quite the busy conclusion to our summer.

Lets start with the baby and the baby mama. They are both doing great. Britt is once again showing no bounds to her anal-retentiveness and is growing at a textbook rate. The baby continues to seem very healthy although she is sitting sideways these days. Just like her mom she will move into the right position when she damn well feels like. Quit trying to rush her.

As a matter of fact the baby seems to be displaying some of Britt's ancient track skills. If our little girl's movements in-utero are any indication of what she is going to be like on the outside we are going to have a runner on our hands.

Britt is definitely in third trimester mode now. She has been very tired again lately and also has actual lava in her belly. She keeps calling it acid reflux but it sounds more like she is digesting molten rock. She is going to power through it though. We are both very excited to meet this little lady.

Britt and I also took her belly all the way to Israel with a lot of my family. We were very curious how Britt and her body would handle the travel, the heat and the grueling pace of a Wilkenfeld vacation. Britt was a huge trooper. She felt great while we were there and would like everyone to know that she made it six hours without peeing as we walked our way through the old city of Jerusalem. That shattered the previous record of maybe the length of an episode of Real Housewives of Wherever.

We stayed in Tel Aviv mostly this time around. We were in one of the older neighborhoods there and were within walking distance of the famous Carmel Shuk (fresh food market) and the beach. It was very hot the entire trip and we spent our days wandering the city and our evenings enjoying the beach. We made a quick trip up north to Caesaria, Haifa and Tzefat. Tzefat is a very neat place. It's one of the Kabalah centers in Israel (sorry no sighting of Madonna or those silly red bracelets). We arrived just in time to watch the city shut down for Shabat. While it was sad that we couldn't see more shops and galleries, I won't soon forget the smell of fresh Challah in the air as every bakery in town was rushing to bake bread for the families heading home for dinner.

We are safely back in the states now and I promise to be better updating this here blog.
