Cookie on a spoon

This is going to be several random thoughts all in one post.

First of all, I can't believe that in only a week I'll be holding Harper in my arms. I had my last doctor's appointment today and am going to be induced next Tuesday! I'm so excited, but it doesn't really feel real yet. I can't wait to have her here with us as part of our family. We've been talking to Handley a lot about what is going to happen next week. Here's a cute video of her telling me all about it. In the middle of the video you'll see her start yelling at Sydney. She says, "stop licking Sydney" because she licks a spot on her paw as a nervous energy type thing and Handley always hears me telling Sydney to stop licking.




Today during our playgroup (that ended up only being Handley and her friend Addyson) we did a trial Easter egg hunt and Handley had a blast! Our neighborhood has a big hunt on Saturday that we're really looking forward to and after seeing her totally "get" it today, I know she's going to love running after the eggs on Saturday.



And lastly, for the title of this post...I love cookie dough. :-) Who doesn't?!?!? I've been really good this pregnancy, haven't indulged in too many sweets (although I have a major sweet tooth) but for some reason the past few weeks I've really been wanting lots of sweet stuff. Yesterday when I was at the grocery store I walked past the cookie dough section and couldn't resist buying a whole tub of chocolate chip cookie dough. Tonight after dinner I introduced Handley to "cookie on a spoon." Needless to say, she LOVED it and kept asking for more. Don't think I'm a bad mom for giving this to her. It won't be a regular snack or anything, but every girl deserves a little treat every once and a while. :-)


You can hardly understand what she is saying because her mouth is so full of cookie dough!

I just laughed out loud hearing Handley tell Sydney to "stop licking" ha. So cute. Hopefully I'll get to see you all this weekend! Can't believe little Harper will be here soon.
