Birthday Weekend

Wow! What a weekend!!It started when Mimi and Poppop got to town on Thursday afternoon.  We took them and the girls to the mall on Friday to get some energy out....and April did the slide all by herself! :)

Here she goes:



She also discovered the tunnels....


Friday night, my cousin's family came over to give April her present since they could not come to the party....and we got this cute picture of Grace and Chloe: 

and then Saturday was party day!! 



We had a house-full of guests (because it was snowing! no chance of going outside...) but I think everyone had a great time.  April loved the singing, and had no problem with her cupcake:


neither did this girl:


Aunt Laura and Connor came all the way to celebrate April :)  Connor had a pretty good time!!

After lunch & cupcakes, it was time for presents!






April got so many nice things & cute clothes for the summer!  She'll be the style icon of the church nursery :)

The rest of Saturday was spent playing with Grandma and Grandpa:


What a weekend!  Tonight I take April to the doctor's for her one year check up.  I'll be posting her stats and what she's up to at 12 months this week!! :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
