Baby at 16 weeks

I had my 16 week check up today and all is well in the baby's world! Heart rate was 154 and baby kept squirming all around, so they had to chase him with the Doppler to get the rate. Blake and Bryce were both with me and loved being able to hear their new baby ticking away in there.
I have also been feeling the baby move around for over a week now. Nothing strong enough for Tim to feel, but so far the baby is quite active. He or she will fit right in with the big brothers in this house!!

Delayed Easter Pictures

We had a perfect Easter Sunday at Sean & Erica's house celebrating with them, Quinn, and Grandma & Grandpa. I have been lazy and just now got the pictures from my camera.
Aunt Erica took the boys outside to play with their bubbles
Grandma helped Bryce give Quinn a ride on the tractor

and Quinn loved all his gifts, especially the bags . . . as long as he didn't have to touch the Easter grass :)

It really was a perfect day!

Our Bunny Trail

We had a weekend full of Easter fun and it kept us hoppin! We took the trail all the way to Mimi and Pa's to spend a few days and the Easter Bunny came early on Saturday when we also enjoyed our traditional Easter Tacos
Brycie LOVES tacos
Blake even ate a taco . . . no meat, but I didn't care, at least it wasn't peanut butter :)

Saturday we hopped the trail back home and here are the boys all ready for church


Being very silly



Just the Guys
Mommy & her big boys

After church we spent the day with Grandma & Grandpa O'Mara, Sean, Erica & Quinn. Those pics will come later, though, because I left my camera at Sean & Erica's house!
Happy Easter to all!!

The Swartz Girls

My cousin Robin came over with her adorable little girls, Lauren & Lilli, for some play time today. It was a long over due get together and we were very happy to see them!
Lilli loved the applesauce,
and the magnetic letters

Lauren, Blake, and Bryce enjoyed playing Jack in the Box in the cubes

Thanks for coming over Swartz girls, let's do it again soon!!

I'm thinking BOY

Many of you already suspect what we suspect . . . that we are having another BOY. Last night I had a dream that locked in my guess, it was quite vivid and I definitely gave birth to an 8 lb 3 oz boy. I am going to start unpacking the boy clothes :)
I've been feeling good comparatively and the boys are more relieved than I am!! They have also been enjoying my cravings with me which include peanut butter captain crunch, kiwi, and stove top stuffing (WEIRD). Bryce, however, has taken this craving thing to a whole new sickening level, examples include him dipping strawberries in BBQ sauce and dill pickles in Carmel apple dip . . . it is just plain disgusting the things this kid puts into his mouth.
Blake on the other hand is starting to branch out and is asking to try new things. Amazing, right? He tried peanuts on Sunday and block cheese Monday without being prompted or forced. And YES it seriously made my day and YES I was jumping up and down cheering for him!!!!
