24 Weeks

Allison is 24 weeks along and we are working on getting ready for the baby. At this week's doctor's appointment, Dr. von Almen looked at Allison's belly and commented "good growth." Allison is viewing this comment as permission to continue eating ice cream and fried chicken.

We have been busy trying to get the nursery ready. We have picked out a crib, bedding, and a chest, and are trying to decide on a color for the room. Ford and Mr. Biscuit are very suspicious of all the furniture that is being moved around in the house in order to accommodate the nursery....it's going to be interesting to see what they think when the baby toys start arriving!

Baby's First Mardi Gras

We had a great Mardi Gras this year! We went to a lot of parades, but stayed pretty close to home as Allison's energy level was still a little low. The baby's favorite part of Mardi Gras seemed to be the marching bands, which inspired her to start kicking regularly!
