The little women never fail to entertain!
They were quite the entertainers at baby brother/sister's appointment today. Of course, that goes without saying that the volume in the doctor's office probably went up a few notches once they walked in and made themselves comfortable! Maddie had taken the poodle and pony Pets and Faith of course had her Baa and Boo Pets, so they were busy playing in the waiting room and entertaining a couple who had just had their second baby girl. They told Dan and I that it was neat to watch our girls playing because their two girls are fairly similar in age difference.
Maddie is always concerned about her Momma, and wants to stand right next to me during the entire appointment. They both waved goodbye to me (which they did last time too) when I went to give a urine sample, and Faith was so excited when I came back into the room. Maddie gets concerned about the blood pressure cuff, and insists on holding my hand through everything. My little buddy. She's awesome. Faith was spinning Baa and Boo on the swirly chair, and would come stand next to me at intervals. She cracks me up because all I can ever see are her little eyes peeking over the edge of the chair.
Maddie changes her mind often about whether she'd like a baby brother or sister, but today she was insistent again that she would love a baby brother. She told the midwife and said she would like to name a boy 'Prince Phillip.' The midwife laughed and asked if she had a name for a girl that she liked, and Maddie quickly responded, "oh that's easy.. Aurora. Just like a princess." We might have to break it to her easy that Prince Phillip and Aurora are probably not going to be options! Faith of course answered that she would like to name the baby 'Baaaa' or 'Booooo.' Hahaha.
Besides that though, everything was perfect. My blood pressure has remained perfect at every appointment. I measure perfectly at a little under 18 weeks, and I have never felt better. I thought for sure I'd be more stressed this time around with having to care for two little women, but the 'stress' seems to agree with me I guess.

We took the little women to see the Holiday Lights at Gring's Mill after dinner. They loved it. It was just the right amount of walking for both Cran and Flop. One of Faith's favorite parts actually was a tuba band that was playing Christmas music in the barn. She thought this was awesome, and stood the entire time with her jaw dropped.
They put their reindeer cookies on the tray when we got home-- cheated, because I got those Holiday Place N Bake cookies, but Maddie is anxious to try all kinds of different Christmas cookies that she has seen in her favorite edition of 'Better Homes and Gardens' magazine!-- and were off to bed.
