To say that Ada is thrilled at Aggie's return is a bit of an understatement.  She follows Aggie around, gets very upset when Aggie goes outside, tries to share her toys, is learning that Aggie gets VERY happy when food is slipped to her, etc.  It's really cute.  Aggie has calmed down quite a bit since she went to live with Grandma about 8 months ago - I think it was the right decision, and I also think that we waited exactly the right amount of time to bring her home.  Ada is really good with "nice hands" now, and even when she gets over excited and starts having out-of-control hands, it's pretty easy to reign her back in.  I think things will be fine with Baby Harvey, v.2, because Aggie is just that much calmer, and will be that much more used to little kids.

Getting used to each other again, Saturday morning.

She will do whatever it takes to pet Aggie

Today after school.  Aggie is getting used to Ada's frequent "hugs"

Two things Ada loves - water and animals.  At Disney.

I had my first ultrasound yesterday - I can't scan the photo, but suffice it to say that the baby (yes, just one!) is very blob-like at this stage.  It measures a little under 2 cm, and we saw the little heart beat, 154 beats per minute.  Wow!

I've already sprouted this time, although it truly depends on the day whether I can wear my normal clothes or whether I have to resort to the (fortunately) saved maternity wear.  The maternity is always so much more comfy, but I know I'll be super sick of it all very soon if I don't hold off.

The nausea is weird this time, I have been able to eat a lot this time, and have had many cravings, as opposed to last time.  Cravings have included: pastrami, cupcakes, hot dog (boiled only), and pita bread.  These are CRAZY cravings, like the world will come to an end if I don't satisfy them ASAP.  I don't think I had these with Ada, at least I don't remember having them, and I think I would remember them, because they are so very forceful.  They interrupt the nausea to some extent, or rather they quell the nausea for a short time, and then it's back, full force.  I am still trying to enjoy all the wretched symptoms, as they are reminders that everything is probably going according to plan, but some days it's harder than others.  Oh well, in 35 years, this will all be a distant memory, and maybe I will be helping Ada deal with her pregnancy induced nausea.  That is, if we ever let her start dating.

One of Ada's favorites was the Monsters, Inc. ride at California adventures.  She still hasn't sat through the movie, but boy, did she love that ride!

Because we are obsessed with hats (people really should wear more hats), I will start the Disney pictures with Ada in hats.  The trip was an enormous success, and we can't wait to go back!
