Hmmmm, Where is she?
Someone is getting SO much better at hide and seek.

Just wondering out loud…
Is there an amount of sour cream that could become potentially toxic to a toddler? I would venture that most of us consider it a condiment to go with whatever we are consuming at the moment. In Stella’s world, sour cream is the main dish and the accompanying food as simply a vessel with which she can consume the sour cream. Dip. Slurp. Dip. Slurp. Dip. Slurp. Usually for each individual black bean she will consume roughly a quarter cup of sour cream – taking double-dipping to a whole new level. When the tediousness of using food starts getting to her (and it always does), she digresses to using a finger. If anyone has heard of death by overdose of sour cream, now would be a good time to let me know.

So, I heard the baby’s heartbeat today for the first time. I also found out that much to my pleasure I, indeed, had not gained 15 pounds over the last 5 weeks. Between my sloth-like behavior and my inability to eat anything that is not positively carb-o-licious, I feel like the Michelin Woman these days. Thankfully, the death stare I gave the scale – willing it to weigh me in at a reasonable poundage – worked, and I only registered a 4 pound weight gain. Now, if I could just put together an outfit that does not place any more emphasis on the fact that I do not look pregnant – just fat, it would be a miracle. I am SO going through that awkward, adolescent phase of pregnancy.
