Nana & Grandpa Visit!

So my Daddy and Mommy came down last weekend to visit! I was super excited to see them. While they were here they helped me put up pictures (they were laying in the living room and I had no clue what to do with them!) We went shopping and we got to show them Texas!
They got me some clothes that I was in desperate need of!
And they got Ava started on her shoe and hair bow collection. Something Spencer doesn't understand, but she probably has about the same amount of shoes as Spencer now and definitely more hair accessories.





Aren't they so cute! I think my favorite are her little pink ones! The red ones are for the picture of her in her the red dress.  So far all of my sister and I have taken our first pictures in this dress and we continued this with all my nieces!

Oh and they also came down with a bassinet for her. She finally has something to sleep in! It's so cute a frilly! I don't know if you can see it or not, but there is a pink and blue ribbon/bow at the top, so we can use it again if we have a boy next... Or not.

We also ate at Costa Vida. I have been wanting to eat there since I moved away from Utah and there is exactly one here in Texas, and that is in Colleyville, which is like 20 min away. I wanted it for my birthday, but I couldn't eat meat then, and it just never worked out to go. It was Yummy!

I loved that my mom and daddy were able to see me! I really missed them and I can't wait to see them again. The next time they come to visit, she'll be here, or close to it!

Ava Grace

On Monday we had our Dr. appt. and found out that on Dec. 26th we're going to have a baby girl! We are hoping that she comes sooner though, like right after Spencer takes his last final so we'll have a month with daddy helping change diapers and all the fun stuff that comes along with a new baby!

Spencer thought that it was going to be a Boy and I wanted it to be a Girl, but since Spencer is usually always right I was convinced that we were going to be having a boy. Luckily we decided on a girl name WAY before we knew it would be a girl. Her name is going to be Ava Grace Zimmerman.

Because of this I have given in and decided that I would start a blog. I don't know how many people will actually read this but be warned: This will probably all be about Ava.

I would also like to note that as much as I make fun of my dad for being technology illiterate, I'm not that far ahead of him as it took me literally hours to figure out how to start this thing.

So, I knew I was pregnant while we were working at the Temple and I had to get people to cover my spots I was at because I felt sick and nauseous and had to run to the restroom a few times. This kid didn't like any kind of meat from weeks 4-12. I could pretty much eat only fruits and vegetables. Luckily at13 I was able to eat other meats and can now eat anything I want as long as it's not chicken, avocados, any sweets, or super fatty/fried food. So pretty much everything that I love. Oh and she loves most fruits, especially peaches! She's taking after her daddy with the whole picking fruit over dessert thing.

I've already decided that when she doesn't want to eat her veggies and just wants to eat chocolate I will have to tell her no because she didn't want it when I was pregnant with her and that she has to eat her veggies since that's all she wanted then. 

                                                                       Ava at 8 Weeks:


Ava at 11 Weeks(she would not stop wiggling for the Dr. to get a clearer picture): 


Ava at 19 Weeks(being stubborn and not letting us see if she was a boy or girl):

And again like 20 minutes later after doing some jumping jacks to get her to move, but it worked:

On another note, all of my clothes are shrinking so I might just have to go shopping sometime soon, for both of us!
