EASTER, EASTER, EASTER!

I'm a little behind on updating but it seemed each night I would think about posting some recent news, I would just plant myself on the couch instead! Poppy came to spend Easter with us this year and Lakely couldn't have been happier! She had him so tightly wound around her little pinky you would've thought he was the only one in the room! He even had to take her to the potty a couple of times, hehe! Easter morning we got up and opened Easter baskets, relaxed a little and then got ready for church. After mass, we head to Ruth Chris steakhouse for the most delicious meal and then back home to watch the Masters. Lakely sure loves some golf so luckily the TV channel didn't cause for a battle that day. We sure had a wonderful time. Looking forward to having more family in town for Cashton's arrival! The time is getting nearer and I couldn't be more excited!

Lakely had her Easter party today since they were on Sping break last week. At the beginning of the school year I had offered to host this party not really thinking it would be a big deal. It wasn't awful, but it sure hadn't been as easy as I had hoped. In fact, last night I opted to make the cupcakes for the party instead of dinner...poor Tony. Luckily we had some left overs for him to choose from but I know it's not ideal. He's such a trooper :)

Checking In...

I went to the doctor yesterday for a check-up. Nothing too exciting, blood pressure good, weight gain 29 lbs (yes, that is a 4 pound difference in 2 weeks-let the swelling begin), and I'm still measuring on track with the May 4th delivery. Lakely was such an angel in the doctor's office. She just sat there and waited patiently with me. When the doctor left the room, she stood up and rubbed her belly and said, "Mama, when I get bigger I have baby?" It was in the sweetest little voice you've ever heard! I can't wait to see her as a big sister :)

Funny story (I guess):

We're at Chick-fil-a and over at the condiment station getting straws and a worker and I engage in small talk. She's asking about the baby and the name, etc., and then asks, "Will he be your first child?!" I turned my outward pointing profile and showed her Lakely standing on the other side of me. The lady says, "Oh, don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't see her! You're belly was in the way!" She's lucky she had already been so polite to me or I might have "spilled" my drink.
