Not much going on this week...I have a big test on Monday, so I have been spending a lot of time studying. Avery seems to be accident-prone this week with many bumps to the head, a fall off the couch and random scratches-makes mommy want to wrap her in bubble wrap.
I don't know if it's because of Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend, but I have been craving chocolate-the cheesy heart-shaped box kind. It's so not like me because I don't eat a whole lot of chocolate, I guess it's a time when I can just blame it on the baby...but after my OB check-up today, I may have to nix the V-Day candy this year. I was feeling pretty good, other than super sore belly ligaments that are making my back hurt insanely bad. I've been working out on my elliptical almost everyday and doing prenatal pilates. So I strolled into the Dr.'s feeling pretty good about myself-then came the weigh in...omg I gained 7lbs in 4 weeks. I nearly had a freaking melt down in the office. I was so concerned, it was the first thing I asked my dr. as soon as she came into the room. My bp is still pretty good (110/62), so that's somewhat of a redeeming quality. She (my doc) kind of chuckled at me and told me she never really says anything about weight unless it's over 8lbs...haha, just missed it (enter my very sarcastic tone). Ok, really, as long as the baby's healthy...but mama wants to be sane too and my weight skyrocketing like that only makes me think about once the baby's out and how hard I'm going to have to work to lose those 7lbs...Ok, hopefully this was just my big weight gain month-I'm over it, whew! On to the pics (sorry the quality is so crappy I think the background of the blog bleeds through them for some reason)...
Daddy and Avery reading "Llama Llama Mad at Mama"-one of Avery's favorites right now-I'm not sure if I should take that personal, but it's a super cute book and I love reading it to her too:)
More daddy and Avery time on Monday night, she sure is a daddy's girl:) Avery has a hard time adjusting to Monday's after daddy has been home all weekend, so she soaks up all the daddy time she can get!!
Avery coloring with her markers...she got a little on her face by her eye-silly girl:)
Coloring on her dry erase table, she loves this thing. Unfortunately, she throws an absolute fit whenever it's time to put up the coloring equipment.
Showing off her gapped front teeth-that darn thumb sucking-and her dimples:) 
Showing off the little bit of a shiner she got under her left eye this week. It was an unfortunate run in with a bathroom drawer-the drawer won...

Awww Poor Avery! Josie was a black and blue magnet at that age too! Good luck with your test. Try not to stress about the weight gain. I felt like Genevieve had these crazy growth spurts in utero where I would gain a good amount of weight one visit and then like nothing the next. It all balanced out. You are my hero for still working out...way to go!
That is one of Luke's favorite books as well- they are really cute!:)
I agree with Nickey- all the weight gain does even out, and I remember a growth spurt with Drew that was similar (about 6lb)- the next time I only gained 3...
and chasing after 2 little ones makes the weight come off quicker than you think! I lost weight much easier after Drew than I did with Luke....
enjoy your weekend:)
I totally understand the freaking out - at least your doctor is nice about it- when I gained 10 lbs in one month she was like, DON'T gain anymore weight for the next month!! yeah right!! i agree with Nickey though- it all ends up balancing out and go you- still working out- that is soo good! I felt like that helped play a part in making my labor go so well.
Those are some good pics- Avery is so cute! Love the teeth- we'll see what the thumb sucking does to Dylan's teeth- i might be in the same boat as you!
