34 weeks and counting

Well, as you may have seen the profile pregnant picture in the last post, I am getting quite large with child.  I must say, that I am so done being pregnant!  I am constantly complaining about something.  I am so uncomfortable, sleeping is a joke, going to the bathroom every 20 minutes, needing to eat something every 10 seconds because you can't eat a whole lot at one time, there is just no room!  Heartburn, can I get some relief?  It's a billion degrees everywhere I go.  For example, at church the other day the window was open and I just thought, Praise the Lord!  Well, the lady in front of me asked if I would shut it a bit, so I did, but not much.  And then Shawn came in and was like, will you just close it all the way?  And I just thought, you big baby!  But then I realized I was probably freezing everyone out, but really, everyone should cater to the pregnant woman right?

I was happy to hear that my doctor will induce me on the 25th of May.  We tried to do it earlier, but there were too many conflicting factors, which made me kind of sad, but I do have a feeling that I will end up going into labor before the 25th, but I also shouldn't get my hopes up in case I don't.

We have everything ready for the baby.  Shawn has been the one nesting which has been really nice.  He is the one with the design background, so I feel that he would make it look nicer than I ever could.  We are just ready to go.  Waiting for the time to pass.  Anxious and Excited....maybe that's why time has slowed way down!?

So, there you have it on the tail end of my pregnancy.  I am more than ready to have this boychild :)

Happy Easter(s)

I say this because we not only had one, but two Easter Sunday's.  We celebrated a week early with my sister while she was in town, and then of course, real Easter.  They were both lovely.  There was your typical ham and potatoes at both places, but there were also some different things.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of the famous, "bunny cake," but I may have to wait until next year.  It's just carrot cake shaped like a bunny!  Shawn claims he is afraid of it, but he knows he loves it.  I have had the bunny cake ever since I can even remember.  I'm still not sure how my Grandma makes it, but I know she does  it with love :)

Easter Egg Hunt number 1

Poor Preston, he was so imprisoned!

The two preggo's...here I am at 35 weeks and Camille at 21.  

Dying the eggs.  The kit was a 'Marble Egg' kit and they actually were really cool.  Kind of gross because you had to use oil, but Payton screamed every time with excitement when they would marble.

The done ones.  If you look closely you will see on the front middle colored egg, "egg earth".

Egg Hunt number 4/5?  Payton went to so many, we lost track.  But they are off!

So far things are looking good.

On her dress you will see bark...well you see, that is because she was going so fast that  she ended up falling. 

And here we have Shawn and Jack enjoying the festivities.  (Is it just me or does the tree in the background look like Jack's hair?)

Before and After

Well, I would first like to say that it's officially Spring.  Which we all know what that means!  Time to freshen things up, change your appearance in one way or another.  According to me at least.  And for me, that change usually comes in my hair color because there is nothing else that I can either afford, or is safe for me to do at the current moment.

BEFORE...dull, lifeless.


AFTER...shiny, red, and healthy!
