For variety, a view from the top :)
Baby Charlie has definitely been more active lately, waking me up early early in the morning and giving Einstein a run for his money as the early riser in the family. Thankfully there has only been one late night party in my uterus so far. Here's to hoping he gets an early start on sleeping through the night :) His kicks/punches have been refined, Charlie can feel him too now which is very exciting for both of us. I keep waiting for the day Einstein is laying comfortably/lazily on my stomach and gets a swift kick in the side. I don't know if Baby Charlie really likes the cat or really dislikes the cat - he always dances when he's around. Guess we'll find out soon enough!
We had a great time at IKEA yesterday and even bought Baby Charlie his first stuffed turtle.
(don't let the shirt on dad fool you, Baby Charlie will be a Yankee fan through and through)
Babies R' Us is a whole other post, so we'll save that for another day. Just thinking about it makes my heart race. Definitely overwhelming, definitely overcrowded, and definitely not going on a Saturday ever again.
Perhaps the best thing about this week has been the energy surge I've experienced. All of the laundry is done, and even if it's not folded yet it's still an accomplishment. We've also made some progress cleaning out the "yellow room," soon to be the "as-yet-undetermined-shade-of-blue room."
On to this week's ice cream - the important feature of this blog, after all - ONE Brownie Cheesecake.
Cheesecake ice cream and chocolate brownie chunks, with a purpose!
From Ben and Jerry themselves: "We have a lot in common with our friends at Google. We're both passionate about searching for answers!

I happen to be a huge fan of both cheesecake and brownies, so this ice cream is a pint of heaven. It's a perfect combination, the ice cream is smooth and creamy with a great cheesecake flavor - sweet but not overwhelming. The brownies are the standard Ben & Jerry's fare - tasty chunks of soft brownies. This flavor was definitely better than last week's and I'm looking forward to eating more over the next 6 days!
