Floods, tornadoes and weight gain!

Well, it's raining non-stop again here in great Missouri. There were major floods two weeks ago. Roads got washed out and people had to evacuate their homes. We were fortunate enough not to be effected by it at our house. The water is already rising again. There have been tornadoes today as well as last Friday. I refuse to sleep in the closet again! We did that a couple months ago when there were like 5 tornadoes! No thank you! I'll sleep in my bed and if I get blown away, I get blown away!

We were supposed to get the nursery done this past weekend and get the garage cleaned out, but that didn't happen. We started on Saturday, but eventually gave up for the day and then never started again on Sunday. I'm driving Luke crazy with my "nesting". I can't help it...I want things organized (every closet, every cabinet, every drawer!) Jack has been very active the past couple of days and I have been more tired! Hunter has been asking more and more questions about the baby. He's excited that his little brother is going to be in the room next to his and has already asked if Jack can sleep with him in his bed. My next appointment is on the 7th of April. Hunter gets his 4 year check-up on the 14th and I know that he will be getting shots. I know you haven't seen my belly mom, so here is a picture of me about 2 weeks ago at 25 weeks along.

With Hunter I gained, oh about 60 POUNDS!!!! So far I've only gained 6 pounds, (as of my last doctor's visit). However, this is what happened last time too...I gained it all at the end! I'm sure I've gained a couple more pounds and I'll find out next week. So my goal this pregnancy is ~ "just not 60, just not 60, please not 60!"

Easter

We had a pretty good Easter. I was sad cause we weren't with family, but it was overall a good day. I got up and arranged the baskets how I thought they looked best...you know...just the way the Easter bunny would have wanted them! haha. Then I woke up the boys and made french toast for breakfast. Hunter was upset that he missed the Easter bunny, but once he saw his basket he forgot all about it. After Hunter got his basket we ate, but Hunter didn't want french toast...he wanted Nerds. So, I decided to sprinkle Nerds on his and he had a special Easter breakfast!

Hunter liked it!

After breakfast daddy and Hunter tried out his new kite from the Easter bunny before getting ready for church.

My handsome boys!

After church I made a ham, mashed potatoes, peas, corn and rolls. Then for dessert I made a cake and bunny cookies. We had a good day.

Weclome To My Blog!

Well, I've finally joined the online world of blogging! I guess having a facebook and myspace account just weren't enough for me! Actually I decided to start a blog so that our family and friends can keep up with us from afar! =) It's hard living so far from everyone that we love, so I hope this helps!

Luke tested for Tech Sgt. on St. Patrick's Day and we are waiting to find out whether or not he passed. We won't know anything until sometime in June so please keep us in your prayers. We could use a pay raise. I'm already starting to stress about finances with another little one coming soon! Luke is currently enrolled in Kaplin University and has been taking online classes for pre-law. He really enjoys them and is doing well.

Hunter started a new daycare yesterday and he absolutely LOVES it! It's right down the road from our church so it's close to me. I feel so much better knowing that he's in a good place. The atmosphere is completely different than where he was before.

The excitment is growing as July gets closer and closer! We cannot wait to meet Jack and to see how Hunter interacts with him. Last Friday Hunter was rubbing my belly and saying, "Come on brother! What's taking you so long baby?" It was funny cause he's never done that before. Hunter is very excited to be a big brother!

As for me, I'm just working and being a mommy and wife. Keep our pastors in your thoughts cause they have not only one pregnant secretary, but two! Heather will be 27 weeks Wednesday and I will be 26 weeks on Thursday! We really are one week apart from eachother...8 days!
