My Two Cute Girls

I thought I better post something tonight, even though I'm not really in the mood. This is for two reasons: first, everyone else on my list of blogs that I read have posted something for Valentines Day... and I don't want to be a loser and skip such a wonderful opportunity to write about this lovely holiday; second, we are going to Tucson for an overnighter tomorrow with Ben's family (but without Ben, because he's studying for Finals that start next week! ugh), and if I don't post tonight, I'm going to come back from our weekend trip with way too much to write about! I tend to write novels for my posts as it is, but it would turn into a real epic, if I don't get started now. ;) I'm such a goof.

So, yes, yesterday was Valentines Day and Emma ate a lot of candy! Her favorite candy are suckers. She especially enjoys it if we let her have 2 at once; she puts one in each cheek. So, we went to a fun Valentines Party in the afternoon. Emma's favorite thing was decorating heart-shaped cookies. She really liked putting lots of red cinnamon candies on it. However, when she went to eat her cookie, she kept spitting out half sucked on red candies. Lovely! :) Emma was so happy to get home and look through all her Valentines she collected from her friends. She ate all the chocolate first and then wanted to have 5 suckers at once. We decided it would be best to spread out the candy eating over the next few days... instead of downing it all at once. But, I tell you, it's not easy saying no to a candy-hungry-Emma. It can be a scary sight indeed!

This morning, Ben, Emma, and I all went to my 30 week prenatal appointment. In addition to seeing the doctor, we also got our 3D ultrasound done. Little Becca appears to have my small, pudgy nose, just like my mom, and just like Emma. I wish you could tell more from ultrasounds, though... like their hair color, for example. But then again, it's fun to be surprised!
