We're going to have a baby! Baby #3 is due October 8 and everybody's pretty excited! This baby wreaked havoc on me until 17 weeks--or the end of April-- which is why nothing has been documented lately. Thankfully that cloud has lifted and I'm trying not to wish away the summer in anticipation of meeting this little one! It will be so fun to see Reid become a big brother and Jake continue to be a great big brother.
So let's catch up on these last few months. Jake had a lot of fun events at preschool, like cowboy day and a teddy bear parade. We had a great time helping him make a "float" and he did so much of it on his own! He always has so many ideas and plans for projects, crafts, or even just car tracks that it was fun to see him make this fire truck come to life. (And then at school, the kids stick their favorite teddy bear--or in Jake's case, his stuffed dog-- into the float and they put on a parade for all the parents!)

Deric and I took Reid on a donut date one morning while Jake was at school. We had hoped to switch Deric's day off to Friday and enjoy one-on-one time with Reid in the mornings while Jake was at school, but we only did that once or twice and then I was so nauseous that I needed Deric home on Thursdays to help me with both boys all day.
The boys and I celebrated my birthday with a trip to the Children's Museum with good friends, and later that evening Deric and I tried out Top Golf with more good friends! It was so fun, even for someone who definitely doesn't love golf. The food was delicious and the friends are always fun!
During "Spring" Break, Deric took students on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic and left us to deal with the EIGHT inches of snow that fell in one day! It was unreal and I hated every minute of snow at the end of March, but we trekked outside with our favorite neighbor/babysitter and made the best of it. Thankfully Grandma came to stay with us for the week since I still wasn't free from the nausea at this point. She was a lifesaver, and the boys were so entertained by Ryker!
Grandma and Jake (and Ryker) spent the afternoon after the blizzard making the best snowman!
It was a little strange to dye Easter eggs the same week as all that snow, but we did! We used fake eggs this year which was a big plus-- the boys could manhandle them all they wanted and they wouldn't break. After dying the eggs, Grandma helped the boys decorate them with stickers.
That's a lot of pictures right there, so next up I'll cover Easter through the present! We've been pretty busy just these last few weeks!
