Have a "Good Friday!"

Hello all, and Happy Good Friday to everyone! I have pictures, today, to brighten your day if it is not "good" so far :) These were taken the weekend before last when we skipped the unseasonably cold and rainy weather up here and enjoyed 70 degree sunshine for a couple of days in Hilton Head. We stayed at a resort with an indoor pool and discovered that Christa is quite the little fish. She has no fear of putting her head under water and would have played all day if we'd let her. On the day we left, we promised her she could swim one last time. Well, we were confused about what time the indoor pool was closed for a water aerobics class, and thought we were in big trouble, because we didn't have time to wait for the pool to re-open and still get cleaned up and on the road by check-out time. Luckily, there was an outdoor heated jacuzzi, that was not too hot, and Cline had the brilliant idea of taking Christa swimming in there instead. Never mind that it was only around 50 degrees this particular morning. Christa didn't mind freezing one bit and had a blast swimming with Daddy before we left!









These last two were taken on Christa's 21 month birthday - March 28. She refuses to sit still for cute, posed pictures nowadays, so I had to take what I could get.

We have started telling Christa about the baby in Mommy's tummy. Yesterday, when I got out of the shower, she pointed to my tummy and said "baby," then leaned up to "kiss" it. It was so sweet! I hope she likes the baby this much once he/she actually gets here! Speaking of which, my ultrasound is Wednesday, so I'll take guesses on whether it's a boy or a girl in the comment section. I have no gut feeling on it whatsoever. At first, I thought maybe it was a girl, but now I'm starting to think it might be a boy. Who knows?? We'll find out Wednesday, I guess. And if you want to send up a few extra prayers this week that everything on the ultrasound will look as it should, that would be great! I honestly don't care if we even get to find out what the gender is, as long as the baby is healthy. I have been surprisingly at peace recently, and not freaking out over every little thing like I was in the beginning. Hmmmm.. I don't think I've called my doctor since my last appointment, over 4 weeks ago - yay me! Anyway, I'm trying not to get nervous as the ultrasound gets closer.

In other news, Cline has started working at his new job and is loving it! The 5 minute commute makes soooooo much of a difference, especially when he gets off work in the middle of the night. The staff has been great, so far, and the hospital seems to run smoothly. The pay system is totally different, so that might rock my accounting world for a little while, until I get used to the new system. It'll work out, though, and I'm so glad my husband has a job that he loves.

Well, I'm off to either clean my house or take a nap while my child is still sleeping. I'm betting I'll do the latter :) Have a great weekend and Happy Easter to everyone!

Oh...by the way. She may be jealous to begin with and have a little bit of adjustment time but trust me, she'll love the baby. Just remember to involve her as much as possible starting now, even at her age. And let her talk and kiss your belly as much as possible. I loved it when Gracie did and Lizzy loves to hear her sister's voice now!

Thanks for the pics! Hope you're feeling well (you look great!) and are enjoying the spring. I'll jump on board the "it's a boy!" bus, so make sure to let us know!!! Happy Easter!

Hmmm... I don't know what to guess. I guessed wrong on all three of my kids, so if you want, I can guess the opposite of what you actually want!!

We'll keep you in our prayers tomorrow for a healthy baby. Boy or girl, it doesn't matter! We just want a healthy new addition for your family!
