Happy Easter!

We want to wish everyone a very HAPPY EASTER! We hope you are all able to get out and enjoy this beautiful day! We are heading to Hunter's Great Grandma's house to celebrate Easter with my family. It should be lots of fun!
Hunter loved his basket full of goodies this morning! His favorite part was the Matchbox Cars. He has recently gotten into kissing just about everything so before he would hand Christian a piece of candy he would kiss it first - priceless!
So far our Easter has been just about perfect! We hope your day ends up being the same.

Let the 2 wk appts begin!

Today was my last 4 week OB appt and I now start to see my doctor every 2 weeks. Scary that we are so close already. Where on earth did the time go? I feel like I just got a positive pregnancy test a week ago and here I am 30 weeks pregnant this Sunday! WOW!!! So, at today's appt not much went on. I had another ultrasound and Small Fry is head down but not engaged at all. This is better than where we were at with Hunter. Hunter was breech at this point. The baby is doing great and his heart rate is in the upper 140s. My OB seems to think he will be a little bigger than Hunter was but not by much at all. That was music to my ears - I do not want a HUGE baby! I also got the results of my bloodwork and I passed my GTT without any problems and the rest of my bloodwork looks great. The only issue is I am close to being anemic again but not nearly as bad as I was with Hunter. I do not need to take any supplements yet. We will see how I feel in a few weeks though. So, overall, I checked out great and so did the baby. Woo Hoo for another great appt!!! I go back for my next visit on April 24th and I will update more then unless something exciting happens with the baby first. Until then Small Fry will continue to bake!

My house is being overtaken!

My poor house is being overtaken by matchbox cars! They are everywhere! I have found them in my shoes, slippers, purse, coat pocket, on the back of the toilet, under the table, under the couch, in Hunter's bedroom, in our bedroom, in our office, on the kitchen counters and floors and I could still go on and on! They are even in my truck! My goodness, this little boy has lots of matchbox cars and he puts them anywhere and everywhere! In order for me to vacuum every week I need to get on my hands and knees first to pick up cars. That goes for sweeping the floors too! Of course, Hunter helps me unless he is napping or is on an errand with Christian. He really is a good boy when it comes to cleaning up his toys. Thank goodness for that. It sure helps when cars are scattered all over the house!

The Weatherman Was Right.

It was not a lie. It snowed and it is still snowing. It is smart this time. It is mainly sticking to the grassy surfaces now. Thank goodness it will be 50 on Thursday and this white stuff will be gone!

Daddy's Boy



The first picture is of Hunter trying to occupy the same space as his Daddy while Christian was working on the kitchen ceiling. It really was cute to see him so interested in what his Daddy was doing. The second picture was taken up at Marius and Erin's house. We went to visit for a bit on Saturday and Hunter had a blast playing with his Aunt, Uncle and baby cousin. He doesn't look too happy in the picture but that was because we were interrupting his time with Ryan to get him to pose for a picture. Note to self, do not attempt to make a toddler pose for a picture, it usually does not end up well! After the picture was taken Hunter went back to being entertained by Ryan. I cannot wait to see Hunter with his little brother this June! Hunter is certainly a Daddy's Boy through and through!

You've got to be kidding me.

Seriously, another snowstorm?!?!? Isn't it April? I was just watching the weather channel and we have been issued a winter storm warning! I thought it was Spring outside and not Winter. What is going on? My poor kid is not going to like being cooped up all day tomorrow and neither will I. We have been lucky enough to get outside the last few days and we all LOVED it and now we are looking at a winter storm. Good grief, when will Winter call it quits? I will post pictures if we actually get hit and if we don't I will certainly be doing the happy dance. I am glad that I did not move the snowblower and lawnmower around!

Human Pin Cushion!

I am glad that is over! This morning I went in for my GTT and Rhogma Injection. I literally felt like a human pin cushion! I had my blood taken twice - once before drinking the lovely glucola drink for typing and once after for my GTT. After that I was sent up to the maternity floor for my Rhogam Injection. So, now both of my arms are a little on the sore side. How on earth am I going to pick up my 32 pound son? I am sure I will feel better tomorrow. Right now the baby is all over the place from all the sugar I have ingested - I feel like I am on a HUGE sugar high! At least I have checked another thing off of the "to do" list in order to get ready for the arrival of our next son. Next item, OB visit on the 9th. I will check in about the baby after that appt.
