Update!

We are doing good...We had another appointment with the specialist about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and it was great! Everything has put itself into the proper places. The placenta has moved out of the way and the baby is doing great! I also got released to go back to work, which is kind of bittersweet. I DO NOT at all want to go back to work, I LOVE being home with the girls everyday...but I know that I NEED to go back to work until the baby arrives to help my family financially. I went in Thursday and talked to the people at work about me coming back. They are very hesitant, and didn't seem very excited at the thought. They told me they would only want me to work 2 days/week and just see how that went...Then they told me they needed to have a "meeting" about it! So, I go back in the morning to see what they decided about me in their "meeting." At least we still have Premier, that is one thing that we are so thankful to have in our life. It has been such a blessing to us over the last 2 years!

I will try to take a new "belly picture" this week. I am now 25 weeks, and growing like crazy! Only 15ish weeks left till we get to meet our new baby girl! Then, chaos will take on a whole new meaning with 3 girls under 3!!!! Oh my, pray for our sanity over the next couple years (just kidding, ........ok, maybe I'm not!)
Here are our beautiful little girls, we went and had their pictures taken a couple weeks ago.

Easter

There are very few occasions where we allow candy for breakfast, Easter is one of those occasions! Don't they look stylish in their glasses? Abby always insists on wearing her glasses/sunglasses upside down...silly girl!



Her hair is so wild in the mornings...

Oh happy Spring!

I think Spring is FINALLY here to stay!!!! We have been spending almost everyday outside. Almost ALL day, everyday...which means housework is being terribly neglected...Oh Well :) I am lovin getting to spend so much time with the girls. Richard is working evenings, so he spends all morning outside too. Although, he is outside doing spring cleaning. We were so, so, so, busy and overwhelmed last year that we slacked off on outdoor cleaning and yard work. So he is trying to get us caught up this spring!


Look at my "baby"... how is it that kids always want to go the wrong way on slides?

Going to the Zoo

We went to the zoo this week. It was an amazing day, a lot windy, but it felt great! This is only the 2nd time Abby has been to the zoo, and the 1st time for Alivia. To say that Abby was excited, would be an understatement! She loved everything about the zoo, especially the elephants and snakes! When going through the reptile and amphibian building, she kept saying, "Oh my goodness, a snake. Oh my goodness, another snake. Oh my goodness, see the frogs!!!" She uses the phrase "oh my goodness" quite often...it is so funny to hear a 2 year-old say that. We went on a Thursday hoping it wouldn't be to busy. We were happy to see that there was hardly anyone there. Yay for everyone being in school and at work :)

We tried several times to get Alivia to get out of the stroller and look at things, but she wanted NO parts of it!!! She was perfectly happy sitting in her seat looking at the animals. Actually, when we tried to get her out and hold her, she started crying and reaching for the stroller again. Whatever...

We have a great double stroller and Abby rode alot too. But when she didn't want to ride, and was tired from walking, this is where she ended up...

The tiger just laid there and stared at her like she was funny looking or something! Well, I guess to him, she probably is funny looking... :)

We had a great day!!! And when we got home, the girls took a 4 hour nap!
