What's New?

A whole lot of nothin'! We have just been busy with life lately ... Will got a double ear infection last week, but is on the mend. It as pretty funny, he told us it felt like he had ants in his ear. I thought that was an interesting description. But, it takes a lot to keep Will down for long! He felt bad Thursday evening, and part of Friday. By yesterday he was ready to go again! We spent part of our Saturday morning playing with Miler at YaYa's house, then went to church in the evening and did a little shopping afterwards.
Scott is definitely growing ... so, Mommy is too. I am feeling him regularly, and not just kicks and hits anymore. He moves and I can feel his entire body slide against my tummy. This morning he was curled up in a ball so you could feel (and see) this big knot in my stomach.
Life is good, Patrick and I are on the countdown for summer! Woohoo! Will is going to go to school on Tuesdays and Thursday so he can stay in a routine ... and I will be able to get things done!

Halfway there!

Thursday marked the halfway point for this pregnancy! Woohoo! It is really flying by, and while I LOVE being pregnant, I cannot wait to meet Scott. He is really an active baby in there...I am hoping this is not an indication that he will be any more active than Will (Lord help us!). Last night while laying in bed, Patrick was able to feel him kick for the first time! I have felt him now for at least 5 weeks. I did not feel Will until at least 20 weeks, but "they" say you normally do feel the baby sooner in consecutive pregnancies. Overall, we are all great. I am feeling well, growing by the day I feel like!! Will is excited, and talks to Baby Scott through Mommy's tummy. Daddy is ready for his other little boy to be here too!

18 1/2 Week Ultrasound

Well he is DEFINITELY a boy ... and a very active one! Scott moved the entire time the ultrasound tech was measuring and checking him out. I am pretty sure we are going to have our hands full!! We saw and heard his heartbeat, his spine, arms, legs, feet and hands. At one point he was playing with his feet. Here are a few pictures from today's ultrasound.

Easter

Yesterday Bentwater had their Eggstravaganza so we celebrated with family before and then went for the egg "hunt". This really can't be called a hunt, because the eggs are just laid out for the kids to run and grab. They had pony rides, which Will stood in line to do, and then freaked and would not get on the pony. So, we have a picture of Miler who LOVED the pony ride. Will jumped in the moonwalk, and that was about all he wanted to do. He did not have a nap which completely messed him up yesterday - he passed out in his playroom at 7:30 and slept until about 7:00 this morning. The Easter bunny came and left eggs for him to really hunt in the yard and he had a blast this morning!

Our own Easter egg hunt this morning ... still in jammies



And with his loot!


Happy Easter everyone! I hope we all remember the real reason for this day of celebration...HE IS RISEN!
