Cookies, Ants, a lime, AND a movie.....

As I have been reflecting on myself the past week, I have come to realize that I am NO fun at all while pregnant. Poor Michael. I can't really handle the loud noises and all the hyper activities that my boy loves to make and do. So we have had to tone things down a bit....hopefully just temporarily.

In trying to be festive and creative we bought these easy to make sugar cookies to make for Family Home Evening. I was so excited about them! I thought the little chicks on them were so cute. Well each box contains 24 little balls of cookie dough that you place on a cookie sheet. We put a sheet of 12 in the oven for 5 minutes TOPS. I was surprised when I smelled something burning and opened the oven only to find our cute cookies completely burnt. I HATE OUR OVEN. I used to think it was magical because it cooked things so quickly....but cute little tender cookies like these need to be cooked slowly and thoroughly. Luckily we had 12 left so we put those in the oven and watched them even more carefully. Well the closest we could get to perfect is what you see in the picture. They tasted amazing but they just aren't as cute as I thought they would be. There was a little to much brown on the top. Oh well!

THE ANTS ARE BACK:(
This morning I woke up and was eating breakfast. I took a peep out of the corner of my eye and noticed a pile of black ants on our kitchen floor. I pretty much freaked out and ran over to the cupboard only to find piles and piles of ants EVERYWHERE. Sadly, I was late to work so I only had to time to quickly vacuum the floor and hope that they don't end up taking over our apartment. (Wouldn't be hard for them at all.) I can't believe I have to deal with this haha. It just
makes me so excited to finally get out of our place. The countdown begins.....1 month!!!!

My boy and I are quite fascinated with the growth of our little one. We are excited to announce that our baby is now the size of a large lime! Large!!! YAY!!! We can't really tell that it is because there is no sign whatsoever that I have a baby inside of me. Besides the fact that I bloat after eating and struggle with some sickness. Our little one is 11 weeks old today. This week our baby begins to swallow and develop finger nails and intestines. Apparently the baby urinates the amniotic fluid...I don't really get that, but we are just glad that everything is going well!

On Friday, my boy and I will being going on a date to see this movie! Michael isn't too thrilled about the movie but is sweet enough to go with! I am so excited I can hardly handle it.
