Easter

We stayed here for Easter and had fun dying eggs and having an indoor easter egg hunt. We went to my Aunt and Uncle's house for Easter dinner and Thad had another Easter egg hunt there! He got way too much candy so mom and dad are helping him finish it.

He was being very careful while dying his eggs

We wrote all our names on them. Yes- Thad picked a pink one...I think he wanted to be like mommy and Emma!

It was too cold to have our egg hunt outside so we hid eggs inside for Thad to find

He found every single one of them and filled his basket full

Going through his Easter basket

We hope your family had a great Easter too and spent time with family. Next year we will have two boys to find easter eggs!

Thad's baby Oliver

Thad decided he needed a baby like mommy. He has wanted one every time we went to the store so we finally got him one. I asked him what his baby's name was and he said baby Oliver. We even had to put a diaper on baby Oliver. He carries it around and feeds him a bottle and burps him. He is a little rough with him sometimes but for the most part he does a good job with his baby.

When I was taking him to daycare the other day he asked if baby Oliver could ride along with us. He said there was room in his car seat for Oliver to sit with him. He is going to be a great big brother!

Cardiologist Checkup

We had our cardiologist checkup last Wednesday. It was another great appointment and our last appointment until birth. Dr. Brames didn't see anything that concerned him too much. He couldn't get a good look at one of the valves but said it was functioning correctly and not leaking. He will do an echo when Oliver is born within 24 hours just to get one more closer look. We are so blessed to have this baby and a healthy heart.

Here is the latest picture of our little man. He's not very little if you look at those cheeks! I just want to pinch them and love on them. I think he is going to be another 8 lber or bigger!

I am feeling really good. Sleeping and rolling over is a bit of a chore. My due date is June 15th but I don't think I will make it that long. Emma and Thad were both 2 weeks early so I'm hoping Oliver decides to come 2 weeks early too :)

Thad is getting excited to see his baby brother. He knows when Oliver comes he has to move into his big boy bed. The other night as he was crawling into his baby bed he told Adam and I that he would move over and make room for Oliver. He patted his bed and said "see, baby Oliver can sleep right here and I will move over for him." He is such a sweetie and will make a great big brother!

Spa day/surprise mommy shower

(Rene, Melissa, Elisa, Mindy and Mary)

The Mended Little Hearts leadership team has been working so hard these past few months. Rene's dad treated all 5 of us- Melissa, Mary, Elisa, Rene and I to a 2 hour spa day! We got manicures, pedicures, facials and massages!! It was wonderful! When I arrived they surprised me with a surprise shower for me. We had cake, champagne and a flower pot full of goodies just for me!! After our spa day they treated me to a wonderful lunch.

We were celebrating a healthy baby!

They even got Thad a little present- a Buzz lunch box. He brought it to church today and loves putting his toys in it.

I am so lucky to have these 4 amazing women in my life. Thank you for making it such a great day!

Thank you Grandma Luci

A big thank you to Grandma Luci for watching Thad over spring break. She brought my 3 nieces out and Thad loved it! They walked to the park a few days and played outside. Thad cried when the girls and grandma left. He didn't know why they couldn't stay with us a little longer! It was nice coming home to a clean house everyday! Thanks grandma Luci for spending your spring break with us! Thad had so much fun!!!!!
