Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday is a pretty traditional day for us. We go to Church in the afternoon then off to G.G's for brunch. Last year during church service Ethan went in the nursery. He was in there with a handful of other children but this year he was all alone in the nursery. Maybe he was shy last year around the other children, but this year he had no problem poop'in all over his Easter clothes:) I went to pick him up after service and the lady that was watching him told me that she had to soak his onesie and that he had poo on his shirt..perfect! That outfit *cough* GAP outfit *cough* wasn't on him for more than 2hrs and he make a mess of it. Oh well, kids will be kids:)

Have I already mentioned how much I hate being photographed while pregnant? No? I loathe it, but I thought that I would post pictures of me for my kids so they know in the future that I was actually involved in these holidays and special occasions. Only for the children of course :)

Last but not least when your child decides to show you his "terrible two" side this is how he gets handled by his father:)





Later that day......

The Easter Bunny came to our house a little late this year, but when we got home from G.G's he had arrived and left these gifts for Ethan.

We also were a bit behind coloring eggs so we decided to have little family time and do it on Easter.

My belly gets in a lot of shots these days :)

JUNE 22!

30 Weeks!

Yesterday I had my 30 week checkup and had an appointment with the doctor who will be performing my c-section , Dr. Ashford. He set the c-section date which will be JUNE 22! We weren't given a choice in the date but at least this way we had a little surprise when they called us today. So as of today 63 days or as I like to say, 8.5 weeks left . That's on a Wednesday and I will likely be there for 3 days. We have to be there by 6:00am and the surgery is scheduled for 8:00am. I've never been so excited to have major surgery in my life. Can't wait! Yesterday when I was getting my checkup by Dr. Ashford he did my fundal belly size and I'm measuring 30 weeks but a little bigger ...I don't want to say that I'm measuring big because that's not what he meant . He just said that there is no small baby in there :) . Because I'm borderline diabetic this baby might be a bit bigger than his bro. Drew estimates 9lbs 4oz, I said 8lbs 14oz .. but, we will see. Ethan was 7lbs 14oz, 20 3/4 inches long. We go again tomorrow to see the baby ( I wish I could just give his initial but Drew is being a poop and won't let me say) in 4D and hope he is active and turns his sweet little face around so we can see him! Pictures to follow! Speaking of pictures... I did a wedding last Saturday and I was so so proud of myself being 7 months pregnant and all. I didn't think that I could do as much as I did but I proved myself wrong, the pictures tuned out great and the bride was so happy .. that's all I care about :) I was very very tired the next day but no swollen feet yet! I have a newborn session, a family, and sibling pictures within the next 8 weeks. I was very disappointed to have to say no to the 4 brides that wanted wedding pictures taken in June and July but I have to think about my children and body first :) I do have a wedding in September booked though which I'm looking forward too. I've been looking into going back to school to get my Bachelors in Fine Arts for photography but its 86K$$$$$ Holy Buckets! That sounds like a nice size student loan :(

I just follow the words from one of my favorite quotes of all time ....

" Don't let'em tell you can't be anything you wanna be, don't be deceived anything is possible if you just believe then you can succeed it might not be easy but any thing's possible.

Baby #2 in 4/D

We had our 4/D appointment today and had the pleasure of seeing Baby # 2 ..such a cool experience! Some people say that they would like to wait and see what they are having and wait to see what the baby looks like but not me ..I'm way to nosie(sp?) I want to know whats going to happen before it happens, maybe that's the control freak in me. There is still lots of surprises coming our way so we decided to go ahead and have a mini date and see the baby. The first one looks like Ethan and his little brother have a similar profile and the same nose! You can compare to Ethan's 3/D pictures at the bottom. We get to go back for free in 1-2 weeks to see if we can get a better straight on shot of his face because he was all curled up and being shy. Photobucket

Photobucket He looks like hes getting those chubby cheeks we love so much! Photobucket Ethan: Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket
