Egg Huntin

We weren't able to do much this Easter since I worked all weekend and Ben had 2 big tests on Monday. But fortunately we had an easter egg hunt with our preschool group (and we saved a bunch of money buying discounted eggs and candy!). As always, the kids had a great time.

Getting ready to hunt

So Jonas was freaking out about the pants I put on him. Thankfully Karla had some more comfortable pants for him, they were just a tab bit small and looked kind of funny. But hey, Jonas was happy.

Happy with his find

Yummy snack time

Rainy Day

So, it's been awhile since I've blogged. I just haven't been bringing my camera around with me and actually nothing exciting has been happening. I am feeling much better and can eat pretty much anything. Usually if I feel a vomit coming on, I can lie down and just breath through it. Mind over matter at this point. I am craving fruits and vegetables like crazy, which is a good thing. Maybe I won't gain 50 lbs. this time around! Well, today was pretty yucky outside, so Jonas and I have been stuck in the house. Jonas still loves his playdoh, so we spent a couple of hours with that. I also got a belly picture. It's not the greatest, but Ben wasn't home to take the picture. And I'm still in my pajamas, so the shirt isn't the most flattering. 

16 weeks

Here's a picture of Jonas with one of his friends, Gabe. They were just chillin watching T.V. and yes, Jonas is eating a popsicle on the recliner. He's actually very good about not being messy when eating popsicles and plus, there is always OxyClean!

Cole Thomas Kent

Little Cole, my new nephew, was born to Jared and Leni Kent on Saturday Feb. 28th. at 2am. He was 7lbs 1oz. and 20 inches long. Lelang finally got her filipino baby! He is SO cute and I can't wait to hold that little man!

Congrats Jared and Leni! We love you guys!

Update

After a slight little scare on Tuesday, everything is great! At my appointment the doctor couldn't find baby's heartbeat and wanted me to have an ultrasound right away. Of course she told me not to worry, but of course you think the worse. Thankfully with our trusty doppler we have at home, Ben found baby's heartbeat before I had my ultrasound and I was a lot more at ease. The little jelly bean was squirming all over the place and the tech had a hard time taking a good picture. Anyways, all is well and I haven't thrown up today!!!

Hopefully I will have some pictures to post soon.

The Pits...

So, as excited as we are about being pregnant, the last two weeks have been pretty nauseating for me. I don't remember being this sick with Jonas. Pretty much I can count on throwing up at least 4 times a day and the nausea stays with me 24/7. Ben has been so great at letting me sleep and fixing me whatever I want to eat (even if I throw it up later). I don't know what I would do without him. Jonas has been an angel too. The other day I was slumped over on the couch and he came over to me and said in a sweet little voice,"Mom you want some medicine?" I said, "Sure honey." So off he went into the kitchen and brought me back my bottle of prenatal vitamins. Then he told me to take one. I told him I needed water to take my pill, so he ran to the kitchen, found himself a glass (I hope it was clean) and got me some water. So, now whenever I have that 'I feel horrible' look on my face, he asks if I want some medicine. I have the sweetest two boys around. Right now I am just counting down these last 4 weeks until my second trimester:-)
