Happy Day-After Easter To Me!!!

I came home from work today and my fantastic husband had washed all our Easter dishes! He even hand-washed all the stemware, and towel-dried them so thy don't have water spots! Am I lucky or what?! The BEST Easter present a woman could ask for. Thanks Marc. :)

Happy Easter!

We had such a good day today! Despite the pouring down rain as we left church, the weather was great, and Marc's lamb turned out just perfect. I posted some slides from our day - Marc mastering the smoker, and some Easter pictures of me. I'm in that awkward stage where it's hard to tell if I am pregnant, or fat. I never thought I would be saying that I want to get bigger...but I kind of do. I want to get just a little bigger...so that it is obvious I am pregnant to those who don't know me.

Hope everyone had a blessed day remembering that He is Risen!







Marc was making me laugh in this next picture...

Latest Ultrasound: We're Having A...

Baby. That's all we know. It's a baby.

"Baby" was not cooperating, and is/was positioned sideways, and very low in my pelvis, so we still don't know whether we are blessed with a boy or girl. When we had an earlier ultrasound, the tech suspected it was a boy...and apparently she is known around the office as having a high predictability rate. We were hoping for some confirmation this past Tuesday, but alas, all we know is that the baby is stubborn (already taking after mama!). We did see fun movement, and you can see in the bottom picture that the baby was "scratching" his/her chin (sort-of). That's the movement we saw.




I have been feeling pretty well - in fact I started exercising again this week which has felt great! I finally have enough energy when I get home to move around - previously I have simply crashed on the couch until it was time to move to the bed (about 8pm).

I can't say that I have any particular food cravings...no craving for one particular thing anyway. I DO find that something in particular will come to mind, and I will want it, and I will want it IMMEDIATELY. Marc is accustomed to receiving a call from me (especially if I am out and about driving when one of these "desires" hits me) where I ask him to Google the nearest...you name it. When I drove to Austin last week I had him searching for exits with a Chik-Fil-A. He actually found one, and so I kept driving just to get a big cup of their lemonade. Mmmmm, refreshing!
