i love being pregnant...

Alright, how many weeks am i and i still am, or i am already uncomfortably miserable! I am passed the throw up everyday thing, thank goodness!! So now, this sounds strange, even to me , but i am always so bloated or constantly have this outward pressure. I compare myself to my girlfriends that live near me that are also pregnant and they just have this cute low bump. Mine, not so cute! You see above my belly button is always so tight and pushes out and i can not suck it in. (it is worse at night too.)
SO what (organ?) is it that is being pushed up and out! Now i know that i should not compare myself to other people. 1. everyone and pregnancy is different and 2. i am shorter and chubbier to being with. I just don't remember feeling like this ever with Payton. So, has anyone experienced this constant, uncomfortable bloated feeling? (i am regular...fyi)

for the record, i am grateful to even be pregnant!

small update

so i thought i would just throw this picture up because i thought Payton looked so cute smiling in her "cimmy and paul wedding dress" and to show off my few tulips i have in my back yard. Okay so this is only the 2 summer we are in this house and so we are still landscaping...kinda so not much to look at i know. But the tulips bring me to a story that i have about the tulips i have in my front yard.
So we live near some apts. and really some sad family cases really. there is this one little girl that comes by and picks the blooms off my tulips and other one time bloom flowers. now really i am not a picky person about kids picking flowers, but my yard needs all that it has and when the one time blooms flowers are picked and gone, that is all i have. so I hate to tell her not to pick the flowers but what choice do i have? so what do you think, am i just a "mean old lady?"

happy Easter!

AGAIN all backwards, no matter how i try! so this is easter morning finding her Easter basket!

Finding lots of goodies and her colored eggs!

Colored eggs all finished!

Coloring eggs, we took the pants off so not to get coloring on them, but she does have a covered bum sitting on my table for sure! (cinn!)

Easter Sunday

Opening each and every egg right then and there, everything falling out!

Kenna and Payton loving their hats from the easter bunny!

Kenna and Payton!

Payton showing off her Easter dress aka her dress from Cinn and Paul's wedding, but she did get new shoes that i thought were absolutely adorable. This is her showing them off!

We celebrated COco's blessing that SUnday! Colby did a fantastic job! "the gates opened" jk inside joke!

Early Easter

Why my pictures load backwards everytime no matter which order i do it i will never know!
So we had an early easter egg hunt with some friends. It was the best day in probably 2 weeks and weather forcasts say sit will probably be the best for this week for sure! I have such a love hate relationship with spring! So this is AFTER the hunt enjoying the swing set!

Showing me the goodies!

Finding the eggs! We had to leave the festivities a little early because of an "accident!"
Okay so a little about the Potty training situation. So this is round # 3 with her and she seems to really want to do it this time... HOWEVER! so at home i completely trust her. She will just tell me or go all by herself, then let me know she is done so i can do the clean up! But so we go anywhere and i think it is the excitement, and she always tells me just a bit too late! When i try to put her on the potty before i know we are going to have an accident, she become straight as a board and refuses. Now the only success i have is if i give her some candy to eat while sitting on the potty when we are not at home. So... help!? i am hoping it will all just click... but in the mean time it is 2 pair of clothes if we go to see cousins or friends.

The Sand Dunes

SO this is not a picture of the sand dunes. Okay so i am NOT a camper, i just don't really love it. So we had plans to go to the sand dunes last weekend with the Hubbards and for once i was truly excited to go. Not just to get away, but to go camping! So of course the weather is crummy and we can't go. Well we had a great weekend anyways! This is the last day just before we came home we went to Chucky Cheese's. (i think that is the only time i have ever been there, or maybe once when i was very small, can't be sure.) The kids had a blast there, just had to sterilize when we left!

So before Chucky's we went to this really fun place that was a bunch of trampolines EVERYWHERE! That was totally fun too! Adam got hit in the eye and as you can see in both pictures.

This is ADam's cute finance Daysha... i hope i am not murdering the spelling!

SO the first day we get to the hotel and the kids just HAD to go swimming! Then after dinner we went back for some more. I have a feeling i will bea at a pool alot this summer, so warning to those who might see me looking like a whale!
