Good News and a cute story.

Amelia loves being outside ("side" as she calls it) and we think she needs some more snow so she can go back to sledding every day at school...

We wonder why she has chapped lips...

Just too cute...

So, we got good news from the doctor today. The blood work I had done last week to test the baby for spinal cord defects (a concern for babies of diabetic mothers, including gestational diabetics) came back negative. We are very relieved even though we weren't overly worried to begin with. We have a level 2 (3-d) ultrasound in 3 weeks and are excited to learn more and see this baby who will be coming before we know it!

Today when I picked up Amelia at school, they told us that when they asked her "Who do you love?" for their "Love List" for Valentine's Day, Amelia responded, "Yoey." All the other kids said mommy/daddy. Amelia loves Yoey. She loves us, too, but we love that she thinks of Yoey during the day, too :)
