How Far Along? - 24 weeks and 4 days

Stretch Marks? - none that I can see.

Sleep? - It's definitely changing and not always for the best. Some nights I sleep really well and others I just can't find a good spot.

Best Moment This Week? - When John felt the baby move the first time.  He's eyes got really big and he just smiled! It was sweet.

Miss Anything? - sleeping thru the night and cuddling with John as I go to sleep.  And my energy..

Movement? - All the time and I've seen her bouncing my belly.  Its very fun!

Food Cravings? - Everything!! Mexican food lately.  The other night me and John made home made tortilla's.  They were really good but we made a really big mess..

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick? - no

Gender: - GIRL!

Labor Signs? - no

Belly Button in or out? - in but its getting a lot smaller

Wedding Ring, On or Off? - on, I don't dare take it off I'm afraid I won't get it back on.

Happy or Moody most of the time? - Happy & anxious..

Looking forward to - getting the nursery done.  We've finally cleaned it out and now we just need to start loading it up with baby stuff!  We are going to refinish one of our dressers to make it a changing table and I can't wait to get started on that!

Baby is the size of a - ear of corn.  she weighs about 1.25 lbs! 

Baby's development this week - Baby's body is filling out proportionally and it will soon start to plump up.  Her brain is growing quickly now, and taste buds are continuing to develop.  

Easter at the Wilson's

For Easter this year we went to my parents house on Saturday and had a bbq and had an easter egg hunt with my sisters and their families. We had a lot of fun just laughing and chatting. I thought I would just show a bunch of pictures of the day together.

Enjoy!

John was Mr. Popular with all the girly grandkids! They just love to tease him!

I took some pictures of Kaitlyn and Zeign together. These are my favorites. I can't believe he is one now!

Zeign enjoying himself as he is hunting for eggs.

Some of the eggs were in the weirdest places like the wheel well..
the rain gutter..
Ruben found the golden egg!

I love Norah's face in this one!
Me and my honey!

Needless to say we all enjoyed ourselves and all the kids hit the candy jack pot, they were so hyped up on sugar!

I'm so glad I got to share Easter with the people I love most and remember the true meaning of Easter, Christ. I'm so grateful for the willing sacrifice He made for me and I know with out a doubt that He lives!

Best Moment This Week? - I finally decided what colors I'm going to do the nursery in. Spring colors! I was painting my nails one night and I found all the colors right there in my nail polishes that I've been thinking of doing! I can't wait to get started on it!

Miss Anything? - sleeping thru the night and cuddling with John as I go to sleep. Now we have a giant body pillow between us. Some nights I'll wake up and he'll be sleeping with his arm around the pillow with his hand barely on my shoulder. It's so sweet!

Baby's development this week - She's got quite the grip now and is practicing it all the time. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are well formed now too. And hair is starting to grow on the top of her head!

Today when John and I got home from work we went for a walk in our backyard area. It was such a nice day we couldn't resist. And since I am 22 weeks today I needed to take a picture of my growing belly so John took a bunch! Here are a few of my favorites. He did a really good job!

What a hunk!

Probably my favorite because you really can't see me and how chubby my face is getting. That's where the 13lbs went!
