ultrasound!

we had the big ultrasound of baba ghannouj today. abby had a pretty good time and kept saying "i excited see the baby!" it was pretty funny. so we now know whether abby's having a baby sister or a baby brother, but you? you'll find out in another 20 weeks or so when he/she makes his/her appearance. :)

in other abby news, when asked what she wanted for lunch the other day, she said "cookies and cake!" sigh. i have worked so hard on her eating habits, but the lure of cookies and cake is just too strong. needless to say, she didn't get cookies and cake for lunch, but still. it's the principle of the thing.

other things she has said in the past few days:
--when she and brian were driving to church yesterday for the picnic, "don't worry dad, you'll find a parking space." ?????? not usually a problem at church, but he was glad for the reassurance.
--"don't fall down the stairs, mommy." ok, i'll try not to.

she has also started having her little people talk to each other, which makes for some hilarious eavesdropping. one of the mommies took the baby to the grocery store, apparently, and the following conversation took place:
mommy "i'm going to get some grapes for you. would you like some grapes?"
baby (in a different voice) "yes, i would like some grapes."

and then something about being tasty and juicy, but i'm not sure who said that.
