Easter 2010

Happy Easter!!! Nanny Monica, Tyler and Timmy came for a visit and we had fun at an easter egg hunt and playing a joke on the kids, making them think the Easter Bunny left poop instead of presents.


Rub-a-dub-dub...3 cousins in the tub!

March 2010

How are the months flying by so fast??? The LeJeune's are doing fine and getting ready to grow by 2 more feet! As of today, I am 32 1/2 weeks and growing, it seems, by the hour! Baby Alex is still very active and it looks very freaky to see my belly jump, twitch and move. I don't remember Emily being this fidgety, so we may have a live wire on our hands! I was thinking the other day about the similarities and differences between Emily and Alex's pregnancies. For example, the cravings have been totally different:

EMILY

cheeseburgers, fries, pickled banana peppers, gummy bears, and grape kool-aid

ALEX

chocolate, ice cream, anything sweet, Dr. Pepper, and fruit punch kool-aid

As of my Dr's appointment this week, I have gained 23 pounds. With Emily by this time, I was probably up at least 40 pounds. Maybe running around after a toddler has kept the pounds off! Everything's looking fine and right on schedule.

I did have to quit working this week, which was a difficult decision at first, but in the end, it was the right one. Even reducing my work load to 3 days a week was still too much for me to handle. I hadn't realized how physical my job can be and I didn't want to risk going into labor early if I didn't have to. Luckily, I have a very understanding manager who let me take maternity leave early and without question. I am now in full nesting mode!

As for the other events of March, my dear friend and coworker Denise threw me a baby shower. It amazes me how special our friends make us feel! We got some really cute boy clothes and essentials. We also have been getting some beautiful gifts from friends at the hospital too. Amazing how much we're loved and blessed!

Emily even got some presents at the shower!

As for Miss Emily, she has had a busy month, what with the extremes in weather we've had just this past month! We had about 7 inches of snow March 21, then 70 degree temps 2 days later. And we thought Louisiana weather was crazy!

Now that the weather has warmed up, we're getting ready for Easter! Emily got to meet the big-eared guy for the first time and her obsession with Santa also translates into large fuzzy bunnies! I took her to an Easter party and literally had to pull her away from the Easter bunny 3 times! Guess that reaction is better than the terror most kids have!

The warm weather is also bringing up some company! Grom and Poppa Larry came to visit and we're getting ready for visits from Nanny Monica and the boys and Granny, Poppa James and Kaide for Easter! Here are some pics from Grom and Poppa Larry's visit. We were lucky enough to inherit a slide from Desi and Caitlyn, Emma and Chloe! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Emily loves it, and Laurie and Derek love it too!

And finally, some funny sayings for the month:

"Chee-ro-ro's" = Cheerios

"Wash your cheeks"

I asked Emily to wash her cheeks in the bathtub and she reaches down to scrub her booty. Go figure!
