The Week of Check-Ups

I have been told that I needed to update my blog, so here I go. I don't have any funny stories or cute pics of Ave to post right now so I apologize in advance if it puts you to sleep!
The past couple of weeks has included a horrible winter storm, we got 18 inches, YES 18 inches of Snow here in Draper. I have never seen anything like it in all my Texas years..hehe! It really is beautiful but a mess to be in and about. Today we had another blizzard like storm come through..you could hardly see the house behind us it was so heavy. So needless to say Ave and I have been pretty much stuck in the house except for ALL the doctors appts. Two Fridays ago Ave started to get what sounded like Croup. I have never heard that barky seal like cough until then. I felt so bad for her. We did the normal vapor bath, humidifier, decongestants and lots of love, but she wasn't getting much better. Luckily Monday was when the storm hit and Brian was attempting to get to work when it took him over an hour to drive about oh 5 miles when he decided to just run around and take a snow day, so we ended up taking her into her pediatrician. Knock on wood Avery has never had an ear infection but she was really messing with her ears and we wanted to get it checked out just in case. The pediatricians office is just around the corner, it took longer to get the car out of the drive way then it did to get to the office! Avery turns out didn't have an ear infection, just a nasty cold that would take a while to go a way. She finally has stopped her coughing for the most part, but still has a lot of snot, where it is all coming from I have no idea! Then two days later I had to take her back for her 18 month check up. The office was all to familiar with her and she was not as cooperative as she was for the doctor previously. But she weighs in at a whopping 23.8 lbs (50%) and is 34 inches long! (97%). She is a long baby. She got two shots and mommy got a really fussy baby in return for the day. Later that afternoon off to American Fork for my OB appt. 32 week check-up went well, lost a pound, don't know how that happened, but I am not complaining. So it looks like we are on the downhill slope of this pregnancy which I am excited for..not really excited to juggle the two baby thing, but ready to be not pregnant! We still haven't decided on a name..ugh!
On another note, I just finished my week long love affair with Dryer's Samoa Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream. Let me tell you it was worth every last calorie..go out and buy some today..it is soooo worth it..Next on my list is the Tagalong flavor..Can you tell I am craving ice cream:)!
