Easter, Company, and more....

So thought I would take the time to post again, since I am on here everyday reading, but never writing. I know it is a little late for Easter, but oh well. Here are some picture from Easter. Luke and I colored eggs the night before and then the next day we went to church and then went to Jim and Leanna's to let the kids hunt eggs. It was a pretty nice day...sunny but a little cool.
Luke and his Easter gift...Play Doh and chalk in the shape of eggs and of course some candy in there some where.
Ready for the hunt

Miles, Jesse, & Luke
So last week we had the last minute surprise of company for a night. Joe's cousin Jessica and her husband were on there way to Oklahoma and called us on there way through to stay a night with us. It was a great surprise. Wish we would of had more time with them, but thats ok. Here are a few pics of the kids together.
Trinity and Luke (She is so sweet)
They had a lot of fun together!!!!
Ok, so the picture below is of my GREAT new ebay purchase....it is a fetal heart doppler. I just got it last week and it works great. You can start to hear your little one's heartbeat at 10-12 weeks. I am now almost 18 weeks and can hear it great. It is so fun. I had one of those little cheap ones from Wal Mart when I was pregnant with Lily, but you couldn't use it till the last trimester and even then it was hard to find. I think I might of heard her heartbeat with it once...maybe. So this one is awesome. It is such a neat feeling to hear your little one's heart beating and makes it more real for me that there is a little person growing inside of me. It was a great purchase and for $62 plus shipping it was well worth the money!!!

So I am really excited to be only 2 weeks away from the half way mark. It has actually went by pretty fast, especially the first three months when nobody knew, since telling the last month has been a little slower, but thats ok. I have been feeling pretty good, not really having any sickness anymore, but still pretty tired a lot. I have started to feel twinges of little movement every now and then, which has been great. I can't wait untill it is consistent and stronger. I am feeling rather large this time around and I refuse to put up or even take a picture of myself untill I feel like my bump I have is actually the baby and not just my body letting loose.
I am so looking forward to summer and some warmer weather, can't wait to get out of the house and go yard saleing, BBQing, (which we have been doing a little) taking Luke to the pool, and going for our evening walks. Also really wanting to get a little bike with training wheels for Luke and teach him to ride. He was really excited at first about it, but for some reason now he says he is scared to ride a bike. I am sure once he tries it out and gets the hang of it he will love it.
Well hopefully I will post again soon and it won't be another month and a half and if it is oh well....hehe.
