Weekend Recap

This weekend started off crazy-busy. Cutie Face joined me on a VERY rainy, cold morning to run tons of errands.

We rendezvoused with Poppy so that I could attend a consumer research panel (very interesting!), then I headed to our OB appointment. The doctor was a little concerned that my measurements had stayed the same for the last 4 weeks and then gotten SMALLER in the 6th week. Bizarre. So, for the second non-ultrasound appointment in a row, they gave me another ultrasound to check fluid levels and growth chart.

Baby girl #2 actually measured ahead of schedule...literally...as her head was measuring larger than her due date measurement. Fluid levels were also great. And, I know it will surprise everyone to know that her hands were STILL covering her face. She really does not want us to see what she will look like!

I was finally done with my appointments so I picked up Cutie Face at Mimi and Poppy's, had a quick lunch (she had her first Chinese--leftovers from PF Changs!), then headed to Tar-Jay for a few things.

Okay all that was boring, I know but I needed it for record keeping :)

On Saturday, we headed North to Chattanooga to see J's dad and stepmom.

We had a GREAT time.

Cutie Face loved:

exploring their neighborhood on a walk,




playing on a playground,


falling down a HUGE slide
(this is me dropping the camera and running to rescue her),


being consoled from the fall with a date bar cookie,


rocking out to Grandpa's (or as Cutie Face calls him "Papa's") Christmas music,


riding in a "car"t at the local supermarket,


drinking coffee,


opening an early Christmas present,



shopping at an eccentric store,

(with funny signs)
and visiting a fun bookstore.

Thanks for a great time, Papa and Jen-Gram!

We returned on Sunday and, sadly, J had to fly out 3 hours later! We'll see you in Florida, daddy!
