36 ½ wks

Oh the joys of pregnancy, heartburn, braxton hicks, full bladders, wondering if anyone's water has broken during church or in the middle of Costco, crazy dreams, talking to people and having them only focus on your stomach because it's making STRANGE shapes, cankles, wondering if you'll ever see your feet again, back pain, joint pain, and grunting with any movement. I can't complain too much. This pregnancy has gone relatively well. We have less than 4 weeks left and we are COUNTING DOWN! We are excited to meet this little girl, and to name her. The three names are still standing. We'll wait till we see her. I have now officially entered the phase in the pregnancy where even my maternity clothes are not fitting anymore. Time to start minimizing the closet.

28 and loving it

Boy I wish that the title of this was talking about my waist size. haha. Happy Birthday to me. Jeff made me my families traditional 24 hour cake for my birthday. I was VERY proud of him. Each year he dreads making it, but you'd think we was Emeril once he gets started cooking.


Jeff proud of his creation. I should include the 15 pictures Jeff took of JUST the cake.

Easter hunt

A tradition in my family is doing the Easter Bunny thing on Saturday. Saturday morning the boys woke up to have find their empty baskets. Their mission was to go around the house and find all the candy the Easter Bunny hid around the house. Near the opposite end of the house the Easter Bunny left them a small pile of gifts. The boys had a really fun time, and G-ma, G-pa, Mom, and Dad had a fun time through out the day finding the candy the boys missed. haha.




Later that morning my Mom and I went to a baby shower for a girlfriend of mine. This is Kim and Mariel. We've known each other since Kindergarten. Kim is due a few weeks after our little one is due. We are excited to meet her little guy.

Trip to G-ma and G-pa's

After having the stomach flu we decided, last minute to continue with our plans and drive to Eastern Oregon to see my family. We got to spend Easter weekend with them. We had a great time.

We had fun and didn't stain a thing!

Visiting Family


We took a trip to PDX to see family that had flown in from PA. We don't get to see them very often and it was such a treat to visit with them for 4-5 days. It made me want to soak up EVERY second I had with them. At the end of the trip, my family and I came down with a severe stomach flu, so we missed out on saying goodbye to them at the airport. Luckily we didn't get anyone else sick with that nasty flu.
