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.

Yay, it's good to hear from you again :) Luke looked like he had an awesome Easter! That baby heart doppler looks cool. I think I had one of those cheap Wal-Mart things when I was expecting my kids, but I don't think it worked very well either. I can't believe you're almost halfway! I'm also ready to get to go yard saling and BBQing, it has been raining here so much, and I'm tired of the rain. Talk to you soon :)

Yeah you should check out ebay there are a lot of different ones on there and if you watch enough you can get a good deal. I am due Sept 12th. You are due a day after my anniversary and 6 days before my b-day!!!!

when you use your doppler remember the baby's heart beat will be fast and sound like it is in liquid. It is easier to pick up your own heart beat with those things but the lil ones heart will be beating much faster than yours. Didnt know if you knew that.

Glad you posted again.

Kalisha said...

Sounds like you had a fun Easter. Glad you posted again.

Renee said...

Cute Easter pictures! And how cool to be able to hear the heartbeat whenever you want to. I always thought that was the greatest sound.

JoAnn said...

So nice to see you again Beth. I am so excited about the new baby coming. It will be so awesome to see it. How old is Luke now. Is he going to Preschool next fall?

Christy said...

SO happy to see a new post from you! Sounds like life is pretty busy at your house! I can't wait to see your new little one!!

Trina said...

It looks like you had amazing weather for Easter. Thats always nice for the egg hunt.

I am so glad that you are pregnant again Beth. I cant believe you are half way there. Wow! I cant wait to see your little miracle. I love your heart through your trial, what a sweet example you have been. May God bless you over and over again Beth!

Hi Beth, I go to the Meridian, Idaho church. I've enjoyed reading your blogs & just wanted to introduce myself. I see you have a "Shannon" on your blog friends. It's not a name you hear very much.

Cherrie said...

September is a busy month, Mine and Lees birthdays are in september and our anniversary is the 30th of september. Are you usually late or early? I usually have my babies late so I expect it to be the very end of september or early october. But I can always hope for a on time baby..... When I had my last baby there was several sisters due around the same time. I was one of the last ones to give birth.. Take care of yourself....

Someone may have said it already, but Luke is SO CUTE. He is real, real, real handsome. I can see his great personality just in the photos. Good luck with the pregnancy; that's a great purchase. Try to record the sounds if you can!
