22 weeks? No... 25 1/2 weeks!

Well, you know in my last post how I said I was 22 weeks pregnant but it felt more like 37....

I went in for my check up yesterday morning at 8am and came out finding that the baby is measuring more on the 25 week size (26 weeks on monday). That would push my due date from July 22nd to July 1st assuming I measure just as large at my next appt. Doctor says I look great (ALL BABY) and need to rest more so I don't throw myself into preterm labor. I'm still able to do a 8 minute mile on the elliptical at the YMCA and the doctor gave another green light to keep working out as long as I promise to drink extra water.

Wahoo! Getting closer!

Spring

22 weeks pregnant is feeling more like 37 weeks pregnant by the way the braxton hicks contractions like to ground me to the couch after doing some house work. ;)

I'm in nesting phase which I just LOVE! I love that I actually have a huge desire to organize and make everything so clean.

Colton is doing swim + soccer this season and loving every minute of both! I was going to coach his soccer team but Reid thought that maybe he should do it since I'm more pregnant every day and I'm not very good about staying slow and relaxed like a lot of pregnant woman are (probably why I go into preterm labor all the time). The Chivas has their 1st game last Saturday morning at 8:30am and played against a team that has been together for four seasons already. I was completely shocked and greatly surprised at how well our Chivas team did at defense and offense! Must be that amazing coach they have! ;-)  We definitely gave the Wizards a run for their money. 

Anna does mommy and me swim lessons while Colton is at preschool and doesn't love it like Colton but really enjoys splashing in the shallows after swim lessons when mommy works on her tan. ;-)

Reid is a busy man! He pulled a late night at Architekton last night and got right back to it this morning. He amazes me. 

We have Easter coming up soon and the kids are all very excited about it, as they should be. I just loved holidays growing up but finding Easter eggs and baskets were always way to frustrating to me. Hope I can make it exciting for my kids so they have great memories to grow up with. Reid's family will be coming over Saturday before Easter so that we can have a nice dinner together and do a fun little egg hunt. Should be a great time as always!

Can you believe it?! Anna will be two April 30th. I feel like she is too tall/bright for her age as I feel like I have been calling her 2 the entire year she was one. Oops.

Hope everyone is defrosting from the crazy winter and gets LOTS of rain this spring. We pray that the droughts go away!

With love,
