Piano Recital: Year 2

0 comments
The Hailster had her second piano recital a couple of weeks ago and did great. I was glad to hear that her teacher wasn't having her play a classical piece from her lesson book, but went with something she enjoys a song from Les Miserable, Castle on a Cloud. Here's a video to share:

Easter pics

I guess I didn't post Easter pics yet this year, so I thought I would now. I haven't posted in a while and it looks like I'm gonna make up for it. LOL The girls got so much chocolate and stuff this year, we're still working away on it (well Daelyn's anyway) 5 bunnies each!!



These were the following weekend at the town wide Easter Egg Hunt put on by one of the local Churches. It was a lot of fun, with lots of eggs to look for, cookies, and hot chocolate as well. It's just to bad the weather was pretty cold still.
The Hailster actually went to Youth Group the night before and helped fill the plastic Eggs with candy. Yumm-o!



They even had face painting and Daelyn of course asked for a yellow duck. This poor lady's fingers were frozen!

I think we've got movement!

So in my last post, I mentioned the question of whether or not I was feeling baby moving. I've been trying to pay attention all week and I think it is baby that I'm feeling. The timing of the flutters are not gastrointestinal related, so I'm pretty sure that's what it is. It's so very light and if you're busy you likely wouldn't notice, but if I'm reading in bed or just sitting I get that little tickle feeling. It's so great, and I love this part of pregnancy! It will only get better and soon hopefully I'll be able to share this with Scott and the girls.

What a terrible updater! 1st prenatal appt

1 comments
Gee and I said I would do better! Oh well.

So I had my first prenatal appointment May 1st. All went well, it was the usual stuff: height, weight, blood pressure, family history, my history, pee in the cup, physical exam, blah blah blah... but then I got to hear the heartbeat again. I didn't have the heart to tell the Dr. I've already heard it and acted a little excited when he found it! LOL For all those that are taking notes, when I finally got a count of it, it's around 156 - 160. So put that in your prediction thoughts for later. I have my u/s scheduled for June 5th, (what a great b-day present) and go back to my Dr. some time early June as well. I guess I better get that scheduled too. I also have some lab slips to go get the bloodwork done some time in the middle to end of May, they are so very relaxed here, quite nice.

I've been feeling okay, and am pleasently surprised that the morning sickness didn't amount to what it was last time. (knock on wood) I did seem to develope a cold, which is nasty when you can't take anything for it, but it's easing up now. Stuff noses can be a side effect of pregnancy, but I'm hoping not for me. It can take a hike anytime now!! I'm getting a belly now and people are starting to comment as well. I'm glad to be getting beyond that, "Is she just gaining weight" stage and into the "look at your belly!" stage. I can't tell if I'm feeling baby move around or not either. It's still pretty early but apparently it is possible especially with second and subsequent babies. I've been chalking it up to gas but that may not always be true. Daelyn wants to know when the baby will be kicking, thanks to some commercial (would you know I can't think of what it's for or even find it on the internet to show you) where this baby's foot pushes out of the momies tummy and kicks the dad in the face! LOL Unfortunatley not for a while sweetheart.

Alright I've spent way to much time looking for that dang commercial so I better head off to bed now. I'm pretty sure I've got some new scrapping layouts to post, but I'll save that for another day.
