Easter, 32 and 33 Weeks Pregnant

Hello everyone. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend I know I am. Easter was a wonderful day with family and reminiscing about Jesus dying on the cross to save our sins. The day before Easter we colored eggs for the first time and let me just say that Rilee just had a ball decorating all the eggs and splashing them in the dye, which I couldn't help but laugh because every time they would splash Larry would get wet oh yeah baby get daddy haha. Rilee got a bunch in her Easter basket that was from Grammy, Nana, Daddy, Mommy, Aunt Janel and of course Papa Smurf (Randy) we sure did buy stuff for her to get to work:



she got a couple shovels, rakes, a broom and dust pan, a wheel barrel which was what her basket was, a sun hat, a bunch of jelly beans, a hoe, and other little gardening supplies she just loved it.



The little basket in front of the big one is from Aunt Janel. Larry loved this one most of all, because it was simple and to the point a few little gifts here and there that were adorable and of course the chocolate bunny that he oh so enjoyed haha.

So let's get to the pregnancy update: I am excited to announce that I am going to be 33 Weeks pregnant here on the 12Th and am ready for this whole thing to be done and over with. This pregnancy sure has been a lot of ups and downs but I can sure say that this last month will be awesome considering I have nothing more to worry about with Reagan's kidneys (that was an answer to prayer right there)

By now, Reagan should weigh 3.75 lbs according to baby center, but she is much larger then that at 31 weeks she already weighed close to 5 lbs. my goodness she is going to much bigger than Rilee so in this instance I am going to be happy I am having a C-section haha. She is also around 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in my uterus. I am gaining about a pound a week (from what all the specialists say I am supposed to do) and roughly half of that goes right to her. As Rebekah calls Aiden her little leach is about right they suck all the nutrients and everything right out of you haha. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz but I am guessing she will have about the same if not more then Rilee). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

I cannot believe that we have only 6 weeks left until we get to meet her. We are down in California at my mother-in-law's right now getting a bunch of stuff to bring back up. We got the crib, all the clothes, the diaper gene, bottles (that we still had), stroller, infant car seat, and a few nick nacks here and there. Overall we are set! We might have to do a few rearranging once we get back home because I am thinking that is going to be a tight fit with both the girls in one room. Wow it feels weird just typing "both girls" I cannot believe that we are going to have two children scary yet exciting at the same time!

Well I am going to go hope you all enjoy the rest of your week. And I will keep you updated on everything that will be going on this next week: We have Rilee's C-T scan for her ears on Tuesday and I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday (boy am I going to LOVE not having to go the doctors all the time). Love you all and God Bless.
