Girls Day!

Well it is absolutely freezing and icy outside, so Ava and I are spending the day in! We have had so much fun today. We have played games, had tea parties, painted, snuggled, watched movies, and we even had our own dance party! We must do hair and make up when she wakes up :) FUN! Wait until daddy comes home and sees the mess we have made! Hee hee. We have been potty training all weekend, so it has been nice staying at the house just in case ;) I am so proud of Ava. She said on Friday that she was all done with diapers and we haven't looked back since! I must say that I almost went through an entire bottle of disinfectant the first two days, but now she is having about one accident a day! Yay! Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on this! I got completely prepared to do it and just waited for Ava's timing. As most of you said....she approached me about it. Glad I waited, I think with it being "her" idea and "her" thing really helped with her motivation throughout the process. Although we are far from accident free and all of the other joys that come along with learning to use the potty, it is going good. Please pray for our first public bathroom outing! I am already grossed out and have a travel can of Lysol ready to go! Ewww!

Fast Food Napkins!!!

Okay here it is! Many of you have heard my rants about fast food restaurant napkins, but here is an entire blog post about it! Ahhhh! So what is up with these napkins?! I mean they are COMPLETELY useless and a disgrace to the napkin community. I find it hilarious when I try to clean up a spill of some sort with these rectangular pieces of plywood. There is Noooo absorption!!! What in the world!!!! Restaurants should just save the napkins and throw in a sheet of construction paper. That way my child can at least color on it!! I mean there is no other purpose for those things! You can use a good 15 napkins and there is still mayo stuck to your hand! In fact, I find that these ridiculous napkins dissolve and crumble as you TRY to use them! What is the deal? Is this honestly the best they can do? UGH!

So there it is....I am officially done. I will sleep better tonight now having that off my chest. Thanks for listening :)

Dr.'s Appointment

Today we had our first Dr.'s apt for baby Murph! It went great and was such a relief to hear that everything looks wonderful! We had a sonogram and got to see our sweet little baby for the first time! It was so precious and it's little heart was just beating away. We saw the baby's body and head along with the umbilical cord. It is just amazing how wonderful technology is these days. Everything looked great and I even got some new medicine for this CRAZY nausea I have been experiencing! YAY! Please continue to pray for this sweet little life and check back for updates!!!
