Caroline got to go to my appointment yesterday and did great! We downloaded 4 new Daniel Tiger episodes on the IPad so she would have something to do.  Daniel Tiger is one of her favorite shows and Daniel Tiger's mom just had a new baby. (Good timing! and Daniel Tiger covers all good topics about bringing home a new baby!)

Making herself comfortable in the waiting room. 

We got to hear the baby's heartbeat and Dr. Phillips went over the growth scan results.  Ali is measuring in the 48% in weight and all the results looked great!

After my doctor's appointment we went to Cowboy Chicken- Caroline's new favorite restaurant.  

Maternity Clothes: Yes! 2 weeks of casual jeans and yoga pants is great.

Sleep: Not great- I have to wake up every few hours. 

Movement: Lots of movement 

Food Cravings/aversions:  Gingerbread Cookies!
Today we read The Gingerbread Man.  One of my favorite Christmas traditions is making gingerbread cookies.  Aunt Jacee came over to help decorate. My mom's gingerbread recipe is the best!

Caroline and Jacee picked out the cookie cutters.  Not only was there regular cutters like a snowman, candy cane and a Christmas tree but Caroline picked out an elephant and Jacee picked out the state of Texas.

Caroline LOVES the sprinkles
