Happy Easter!

A few pictures from Easter.

 Getting ready and enjoying the Egg hunt with Grandma.  Isaac really got into this year.  I loved that he left his basket on the ground and ran the eggs back and forth!

23 weeks!

I'm at 23 weeks!  The baby is very active - except when Dominic tries to feel.  I feel so bad for him.  I have tried to spin this into a positive....telling Dominic that he has the magic "sleep" touch!

Our new lot is loosing lots of trees this week.  We are so excited to see the lot being prepared for the foundation to go in soon.  Once the dozer shows up to dig, it will really start to feel like we are going to be moving in the new house soon!

Mischief Maker

Isaac is ever the mischief maker.  He has developed a fear of the vacuum - don't know why - but I asked Luke to take Isaac into the playroom so I could vacuum the upstairs.  When I went downstairs, this is what I was greeted with:

Luckily its a dry erase marker and he did not color on the walls or floor!

Wrestling

Dominic wrestled his heart out at Regionals.  He did not qualify for State but we are so proud of him.  Amazing how much he has learned in just 2 short seasons.

This is how Luke likes to spend his time at wrestling meets:

Isaac is also doing a great job.  He has already amazed the head coach with his bridging and sprawling skills!  We figure if we maintain a 5-10min per day flexibility routine with him, he will never loose the baby flexibility and he will be that much farther ahead!  He likes to put on the older boys wrestling stuff...a future champion???  We think so!

More cloth coming

We have had such great success cloth diapering Isaac, that we are going to stick with it for the new squish.  So far that is the only baby purchase I have made....getting a newborn cloth diaper stash ready to go.

I had my 20 week appointment and the results of the level 2 ultrasound are perfectly normal.  The baby has a heart beat of 150-155.  The OB said the next 10-12 weeks should be boring...I added that boring is good...we like boring.

Regional Bound!

Dominic wrestled in Districts this past weekend.  He did a tremendous job...best he has wrestled all year...placed 6th and qualified for Regionals.

Week 19-20!

Hard to believe that I'm already half way through this pregnancy!  I'm feeling really good these days...I get tired easily but at least the morning sickness is pretty much over.  Mark is still wanting a gender surprise at birth and I am going with it too.  I call the baby "he" because that is all I know to this point so it is easy to say.  I have apologized to the baby if "he" is really a "she".

We had our 20wk ultrasound today and all looks great to this point.  The baby was so squirmy that we didn't get a great profile shot but here are some pictures we did get.  We were able to see "him" flip all around - arms and legs every where - and  move his jaw up and down - either swallowing or sucking.
