I've been asking Annabella what she wants for her birthday off and on for the past couple of weeks. Invariably, she says something about food. The most recent:
Me: Annabella, what do you want for your birthday?
Jason: Do you want cookies or cupcakes or brownies? (she'd been oscillating between those choices)
A: Brownies
Me: What else?
A: Ice cream
Me: Yes, we'll have brownies and ice cream, but we have to have something else. We can't just eat brownies and ice cream.
A: Brownies and ice cream and brownies.
Me: OK. We'll have brownies and ice cream and brownies, but we have to have something else. How about pizza? Or hot dogs?
A: No, I want brownies and ice cream and brownies.
Jason: How about spaghetti or pizza? (we often have to repeat options at this age)
A: No, I want brownies and ice cream and brownies.
Jason: How about bunnies and cheese? (bunny-shaped macaroni and cheese)
A: Yes. Bunnies and cheese and bunnies and brownies and ice cream and brownies.
Me: Okay. Well that's what we'll have then. Bunnies and cheese and bunnies and brownies and ice cream and brownies.
You'll never guess what she asked for for breakfast this morning after I sang her happy birthday :)
I think it's safe to say she's looking forward to dinner tonight. Here's hoping she likes her presents too.

Hi Amber,
This is unrelated to your most recent post, but i really need some encouragement. i appreciate your post about what you went through to have your daughter with the testing and all that fear, and your post is the only thing i could find on my condition too. i just found out yesterday that in my second trimester screening that i tested positive for Trisomy 18 and SLOS. i have a 1:4 odds. i go in for my amnio tomorrow. i am scared to death. I had two miscarriages prior to this pregnancy this year alone. i am a wreck. my dr. didn't seem as worried about the SLOS as the Trisomy 18 finding. I am praying that it was wrong. My first screening i had done 4 weeks prior to this came out negative for Trisomy with a 1:430 chance. so what could have changed so drastically in 4 weeks? i am confused, scared, sobbing, you name it. i just am so confused. If you have any insight if you could please email me at tarabojangle@gmail.com. Thank you so much.
