Easter and Tyler

I feel like when I was pregnant with Ethan I wanted to document everything. What my cravings were, how big I was, when I first felt him kick. With Tyler, its not at all that I don't want to do it, but with a 12 month old running around the house I simply don't have time. So here is me catching up so I don't forget.

I am 25 weeks pregnant. I honestly, don't feel pregnant at all until it's time for bed. Sleeping is certainly a struggle already. And if anyone saw how much I ate it would certainly be clear that I was pregnant as well. =0)

I don't have many cravings at all- just hungry - A LOT! I haven't gained as much in this pregnancy, and I have Ethan to thank for that I am sure. However, if I am put on bedrest, I am sure that weight will catch up with me.

I love laying in bed at the end of the day because I finally have time to sit and feel him kick- he is certainly a mover- and I am afraid may be just as active as his brother.

Speaking of his big brother- We had a fabulous Easter. Last Easter Ethan had just gotten home from the NICU, so it was so much fun to allow him to run around and play all day. He got his first Easter basket-filled with candy for daddy of course! =)

Then we headed off to church. Bryan had to work so he came for church and the Easter egg hunt and then had to leave before family time. Ethan sure does love his daddy and I certainly did miss having someone to help me rangle this guy around the house.

Ethan's First Birthday was a huge success. I know that I may have gone a little "big" with it- 51 of our closest friends, a balloon artists, a ridiculous amount of food and super amounts of fun.. but I wouldn't change ONE THING. And to be honest, I will do it again with Tyler. =) It was so special to celebrate this little man and our year together with our favorite people. Old and new friends, family, godparents, sorority sisters...


Bryan made the cake. Super colorful, white cake with sprinkles, and loads of icing. I wanted him to just "try" the cake. He ate HALF of it before I took it away from him. He is his father's child. Bryan was pushing him and encouraging him to finish it all- I think he never got the memo of what that will do to a babies tummy. =)



I have been blessed to be still so close to several of my sorority sisters, and above that it's been so special to have them in Dallas. I can't imagine going through the last 10 years witout them!


We are blessed beyond words for the village God gave us to support our family. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.
