Yes, I am one of those people that cannot wait even till 20 weeks to have a peek inside the guessing game of will it be a girl or will it be a boy. At 15 weeks along I decided to take this Intelligender test that is suppose to be able to tell you if you are having a boy or girl(some say with 80% accuracy and others say only 50% accuracy). So I got suckered into it at Target last night(it was a weak moment and it was the only one left on the shelf which made it even more inviting:)) and took it this morning. After 5 minutes of wait time I came in to find this...Of course shocked and surprised and now even more curious for our ultrasound in 5 weeks.. Haha.. I think this has officially worked against me because I was certain it was another girl and now this silly test is making me second guess:) Could we be seeing more blue in the house?????

Off to see the "ish"
This past Saturday we took our first trip to Shedd Aquarium with Avery. Avery is pretty much in love with woofs(dogs), ducka duckas(ducks) and ish(fish) so we thought this would be a perfect place to take her on this cold and wintry day. She absolutely LOVED it and couldn't stop talking about the "ish" all day.... What a fun day in the city!
MY favorite picture of the day.... Shows the true excitement of seeing the 'ish'
"Look Daddy!'
SHARK!!!!!!
waving to the beluga whales
The dolphin show.. much to my surprise she sat through the entire show!
Touching a starfish with daddy's help...

Update on Avery's brother or sister..
I have gotten some requests for belly pictures and requests of how the pregnancy is going thus far. I was really good about updating with Avery probably because she was the first and I had time.. I feel like I am always on the go and have little time for the blog.
Today I am officially 14 weeks along and feeling good. I had some nausea from weeks 7 1/2 to 11 weeks which is exactly what happened with Avery as well. I am now feeling "back to normal" minus being tired at all times and needing to nap almost everyday. I definitely was not this tired with Avery even working full time.. It just goes to show me that being a stay at home mommy is hard work. I think it is by far the hardest job I have ever had. Ok, back to updates.... So some ask about cravings, likes and dislikes:
Likes:
Anything sweet....bagels, cheese, broccoli cheese soup from Panera, pizza, and lately I have been craving chicken wings(but I haven't acted on that craving yet:)), Hummus is another like.
Dislikes:
MEAT(ick) that is about it. Everything else is pretty much free game these days:)
So my likes and dislikes are pretty similar as they were with Avery. I looked back on the blog and I wasn't surprised to see a lot of the same things.
That is about it for now.. I will update more as time goes by. We have another doctors appt in 2 weeks and then are BIG ultrasound where we find out the sex will be the week or two in March:) I have my guess of what we are having and I would be shocked if I was wrong but only time will tell. With Avery I had no idea if it was a boy or girl but this time around I have this 'feeling' it will be another girl but maybe I'll be wrong and we will be introducing a little blue to the sea of pink in our household!! Either way we are praying for healthy and happy. We have been spoiled beyond belief with Avery so I am also expecting this next one to give me a run for my money:)

Snow, snow but very wet snow!
Today as we were leaving to go to the grocery store Avery decided that she wanted to play in the snow.. We even tried out the sled again. She was really into it this time and kept telling me "no" when I asked her if she was ready to go to the store. "NO" is actually a new word that just popped up a couple of weeks ago and Avery LOVES to use her new word. Geoff and I think it is pretty cute at this point but I am sure that won't last for long:)
(and just so you know, Avery did wear gloves just not in this picture:)) And she actually kept them on this time!!

Eggs with Daddy!!
On weekends when daddy is home, we like to make eggs together. It is our special time on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Daddy has taught me how to crack the eggs and I LOVE it!! I look forward to it and daddy is a good teacher. Here are a few pictures from this past weekend!! I think my two favorite parts is cracking the egg and then getting to eat them. Yum, Yum. I like eggs just about as much as daddy and way more than mommy!
