Easter

If you know me at all you know how much I love holidays. Though I have reached the point of this pregnancy that I have little energy and am miserable I still was so excited to do all the Easter festivities with Madelyn. It started off last weekend by taking her to Easton's Eggstravagansia,
an Easter event filled with food, rides, games and best of all Easter egg hunts for each age. We went with friends who have two girls that helped Madelyn with her first Easter egg hunt. She was a little overwhelmed until she realized the eggs had chocolate in them. She was NOT a fan of the Easter bunny who was there to take pictures, she was so scared even a crying picture wasn't an option. On Friday we had friends over for the kids to dye eggs or as Madelyn calls it "paint eggs" and though she didn't have patience to let the eggs sit very long in the dye she had a really good time. Today, after Mads woke up she headed outside and find the eggs the Easter bunny left along with her Easter basket and then we headed off to an Easter brunch.  Derek and I cooked our first Easter dinner tonight. Though we missed family this was the first holiday that we didn't travel so it was fun for us to enjoy time just as a family at home and start traditions with Madelyn.

This past Monday we went to the doctor for our weekly appointment as well as an ultra sound. Everything looked great and based on the ultra sound the baby weighed 7.9 lbs. That means that if he goes to 40 weeks he would be around 9 lbs (yikes). During the ultra sound he was very active and sucking away on his thumb which we loved :) He has definitely dropped and is head down ready to go so just the waiting game of when he is ready. We go again this Tuesday for our 38 week appointment.

Filling our piggy bank (and giving our brother a head start in his), don't show your change when you come to our house and Madelyn will rob you!
