Update...

Hope everyone had a great Easter! We did. On Thursday afternoon after Nathan's Easter party at school, we headed out for S.C. to visit my sister and bro-in-law. It was a long, uncomfortable drive (I don't recommend traveling in the last trimester!!!) but worth it b/c we had a great time. I was treated to my first pre-natal massage! and Drew and Nate had a blast with Jim at Frankie's Fun Park. Jim and Drew grilled out and we also ate at an awsome Mexican resturant. Jim took some really great pictures of us and I will post the pictures asap.
Drew had to work on Easter but we did all get to go to church that morning so I was glad of that. We had a great Easter lunch thanks to Drew's mom and dad. Later on that day Nathan and I had an Easter egg hunt at the playground. We both had a blast doing that!

Now for baby news...Thursday I had my sonogram to get measurements of the baby. He is weighing in at a healthy 5lbs 12ozs. The lady who did the sonogram said the head measured at a good size as well. Everything looked good and he is definately getting into place. She said his head is resting right on top of my pelvic bone which I guess explains the sharps pains I have when I go walking. I had a dr. appt. today and he says everything looks wonderful! The baby's heartrate was 138 and when he measured my uterus he said it was right on. I only gained 1 pound which means so far I have only gained 16 lbs. total. My blood pressure was great as well. He told me that we should have a baby by the end of April! Im so excited I can't hardly stand it but then I get nervous thinking about only having a few more weeks to have everything ready. I hope Nathan is as ready as he says he is. Next week during his spring break we are going to make his "I'm the big brother" t- shirt so that should be fun. We have been on the go the past few weekends so Im ready for things to slow down. I want a few weeks to relax and enjoy the last few weeks of just the 3 of us. Its been the 3 of us for so long now its hard to think we are about to become a family of 4! Well, I told myself I would make this a quick update and here I am writing a book :) Hope everyone has a great week and stay tuned for pictures from the weekend!

Can't wait to see more of the pictures. Glad ya'll had a nice Easter. You need to relax!! I know how it is though, go go go! He will be here soon. I am glad you have done better this time with the weight and how big you are. I know you were completely miserable last time. Wish we could make it to the shower. Love and miss ya'll.

We (Tyler, Jennifer, Layton, Gdad & I) had a nice time spending Easter Sunday with you, Drew and Nate. Wish we could have hunted eggs! Next year Nate will have to hide them for his little brother & cousin. I like the way that sounds, "little brother & cousin".
Looking forward to the shower.
