Happy Easter!




Today was the quietest Easter we've had since being blessed with Gabby.  We stayed home and Grandma and Papa came over to celebrate and eat lunch. While I was preparing for lunch and Michael was still asleep, Gabby snuck into her Easter basket, tore it apart and began eating jelly beans, all before 8:00 a.m.!  Once Grandma and Papa arrived we exchanged hugs and then finished cooking dinner, which was delicious and Gabby did not even taste.  All I think Gabby ate today was two "Easter eggs," cookies, bread, and candy.  Pretty hard for this mommy to take!



After lunch we went on a walk and looked at houses for sale in the neighborhood.  Gabby loved exploring the houses and riding in the wagon.  Then it was time to have an Easter egg hunt.  It was very hot, but since it was just Gabby it was pretty fast.  Her surprises ranged from stamps, to coins, to Littlest Pet Shop toys, to a few candy ones.  The we paqued eggs, ate peach cobbler, and cleaned up a little.  Gabby of course was super excited that there was a surprise in each of her eggs.  Since Gabby didn't go to sleep until late the night and wasn't in the best of moods, she actually napped.  When she woke up Grandma and Papa had left, so we enjoyed playing with Gabby and watching movies.


This Easter was very nice and relaxing (although we missed family).  I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter full of events to make for lasting memories.

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.
