We had an unexpected day at home on Wednesday due to pink eye. I knew I would have to keep Marie busy so we decided to make our Christmas cut-out cookies since I had a helper at home.
(I use the term "helper" loosely here)
As you an see, most of her helping was by playing in the flour which felt like "pretty powder" to her. It was EVERYWHERE! Every time I thought I had it all cleaned up I would find more.
Marie was very good at laying the cookies on the cookie sheet. I knew I would be tired from this baking adventure but I didn't think it would wipe me out completely! Marie and I cuddled together and took a 2 hour nap to recover. I am enjoying my time with her and trying to spend quality time while she is my only little one to care for.
This pregnancy is much different from my first with Marie. I have days where I feel great and then days where I feel awful and spend a lot of time wondering if and when I will vomit. I can never predict what the day will be like or what will sound good to eat (not a lot). I have heartburn and indigestion so Tums have become my new best friend. Who knows, maybe the differences mean it's a boy...we will be finding out with this baby. Marie was a surprise for us and it was a great experience. This time we want to experience hearing the news at the ultrasound. I think that will be nice for Marie so she knows exactly what to expect - a baby brother or sister!
