Michael and Julia had a daddy/daughter day today while Mom, Nana and I worked on the bedding for Charlotte's room. We got the bumper pads mostly done, the openings just have to be stitched up by hand.

Michael took Julia to Dothan to Chuck E Cheese. Julia loves helicopters, so on thier way they pulled over and watched them land. You can't see it great in the video, but Michael said all the pilots were flying over and waving at her.
Driving with Chuck E Cheese
Nana, Pop, Mom, & Blake came over tonight. Michael cooked some of the fish he caught last week. After dinner I heard water running and found Julia in the bathroom with a cup. The result was a soaked floor and Julia. There's never a dull moment around here!
I had my 23 week check up this afternoon. I met Dr. Griffin, the new doctor in the practice. Everything looked good and I'm already measuring almost 2 weeks ahead! Since Michael couldn't go to my doctor's appointment I recorded Baby Girl's heartbeat and sent it to him.
Tonight we went to Rodeo's to celebrate my birthday with Mama, Blake, Nana, Dianne, Jay, Brent, Natalie, Rusty, Cristy, Aunt Donna, and Kenny. I had a yummy cake from Rolen's, it's a good thing my gestational diabetes test isn't for another month!
Helping Mommy blow out her candles
Julia wasn't too sure about the hat
When we got home and got our PJ's on Julia found a pair of my shorts in the dirty clothes and tried to put them on. She said "I wear your clothes. I cute."
Julia has been very into Nelli and Caddy lately. Sunday she tried so hard to get them to play ball with her. She would put the ball on the floor and roll it to one of them then wait for them to roll it back to her. She would sit on the other side of the room and say "Here I am, Nelli/Caddy". They are both so patient and good with her.
Loving on Nelli
"I riding Nelli!"
Once Little Einstein's came on television the dogs lost her attention, that is quickly becoming her favorite show.
Kicked back in her chair with my iPhone watching Little Einstein's
When Julia was watching Little Einstein's a baby was crying. She came running over to me and said "Baby Sister crying". I said "Oh no. Tell her it's ok" so she proceeded to rub and kiss my belly and say "It's ok Baby Sister. Don't cry." I can only hope that in 4 more months she will say the same thing when Baby Sister actually does cry!
It's past bedtime at our house and Julia is laying in bed singing Happy Birthday, Mommy. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, it's been a pretty good day!
Since we didn't have our recovery/clean up day yesterday we've been trying to get it done this afternoon. While we have been cleaning up Julia has been eating dirt...
and helping Minnie draw a picture...
and feeding her baby cereal!
Julia is not a big fan of her high chair anymore so we got this little booster seat at Toys R Us yesterday. As soon as I got it out of the box today she wanted to sit in it so she and Baby Doll ate some cereal while they watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Julia fell asleep on the way to dinner tonight so I ended up holding her in my lap the whole time and Baby Sister wasn't too happy about it! I could feel her kicking away like she was saying "Hey! Get out of my space!"
After dinner went down to the barn to return the tables from Julia's party. When we pulled up she saw one of Bret's tractors and said "Oh goodness! Big tractor!". I said "Yes, that's Mr. Bret's tractor." Julia replied with "No! Not Bwet's! My tractor!". I told Michael she might be disappointed in her little gator now!
We are so excited about having 2 little girls! We had our ultrasound today and everything looked great. I think Baby Girl was trying to throw us off though because her heart rate went from being in the 170's at the past 2 appointments to 143 today. I've gained a total of 8 pounds so far, which Dr. Pollard says is right on track.
And with perfect timing, Julia got a happy in the mail today from Ellen. It is the cutest Big Sister book and a pair of polka dot sunglasses which Julia insisted on immediately opening and putting on even though it was 8:30 pm when she opened them! Thanks Ellen!
