9 More Days!

January 19th we go to the Dr. for our next appointment. We also have our extensive ultrasound scheduled that day so if our little one cooperates we should be finding out if we should plan pink or blue! I have been feeling great, other than being exhausted easily and frequent headaches. Otherwise my belly is growing quite rapidly and I feel like I look further along than just over 16 weeks, that won't make me give up my ice cream! Although I have switched to mini cones and only do Edy's 1/2 fat:) Jenna regularly talks to my tummy and tells the baby how much she love him/her and loves to give it kisses which invites Ava to join in as well. Ava doesn't stop at my belly though and usually proceeds to lift Eric's shirt up and kiss as well, not understanding there is a baby Jenna is talking to she is more entertained by our belly buttons. Ava is obsessed with babies but is also very jealous of Jenna getting any attention without her so this should be pretty interesting come June.




Both girls have taken to calling me Amy, well Ava usually giggles out Mamie. They love the reaction and have made it a daily routine. Ava started this morning at breakfast "more pancake, Mamie"...my little stinkers!
We are still waiting on our car to be fixed after the accident but we have a loaner car from our wonderful neighbor (car is at the shop he works at) for free so we aren't complaining! After we lost two of our friends in recent fatal automobile accidents we are thankful Eric is safe and unharmed, we could care less about our car at this point. Since the Holidays things have been fairly quiet, we are anxiously awaiting Spring! Tired of cold and ice and wanting some sunshine and outside activity! Yesterday was beautiful but after a series of runny noses and the coughs I decided to keep the girls inside.

Today we baked for the first time in Jenna's Easy Bake Oven. We made some sugar cookies and of course added sprinkles. The girls had a blast and the cookies were pretty yummy!
