A Day at the Park

Today the weather was just beautiful outside! It was a nice change from the freezing cold, although the cold weather will be back tomorrow! Urgh! Ava and I walked to the park in our neighborhood and played like best friends...it was the best :) We collected flowers and sang songs. Just precious. I am amazed at how quickly she is growing up right before my eyes. It is so fun and sort of sad all at the same time. I realized today as I watched her play, that she is her own little person with such an incredible imagination. When did all of this happen?!!! I feel like she was just a sweet baby girl, and now she is a pantie wearing, sentence talking, fun loving little girl. Did I mention Sassy??? WOW! It is probably the pregnancy hormones, but today it hit me just how much I cherish each and everyday with Ava. I love you baby girl!

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is hysterical. You have to try this. It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this!!! It is from an orthopedic surgeon............ This will boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's pre-programmed in your brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

Dr's Appointment

I went to the Dr this morning for my 12 week check up, and everything looks GREAT! Hooray! I heard the heartbeat (the most precious sound ever!) and heard the baby moving around too! The heartbeat was 150, which is great, and my doctor started laughing out loud at all of the baby's movement. Apparently it is a busy little thing in there :) Anyway, it all looked great and I am beginning to feel normal again. Well, the term "NORMAL" is sort of a stretch, but better than before! We go back in a few weeks for our next appointment, and we will actually get to find out the sex of the baby then!!!! Wohoo!!! I cannot WAIT :) This is all so exciting, and today's appointment could not have gone any better. Thank you so all so much for your prayers!

12 weeks!

Yay! I am finally 12 weeks pregnant!!! I have a Dr's appointment in the morning to hear the heartbeat, and to make sure everything still looks okay. Please pray for a wonderful visit with the Doctor, and for a healthy baby! We are so excited about this baby and just can't wait to meet him/her. Do you think it's a boy or a girl??? Who knows! Ava also thinks she has a baby in her tummy :) It is pretty cute. I can't wait to see her as a big sister...she will be the best! Well that's it for know...more after my appointment!
