"Knock, knock"..."Who's there?"..."The Big Bad Wolf"..."What do you want"...Colored eggs"..."What color?"...

how about pink, blue, yellow, orange, green, of course all these colors mixed together to make pretty brownish-greenish eggs and then some bonus color kits like tie-dye (which did not end up looking like the eggs on the box) and Abby's favorite...sparkles. She loved the sparkle eggs so much she held them and played with them all day long. By the end of the day she had very sticky yet sparkly pink and purple hands. Somehow those sparkle eggs were missing the next day. I think the Easter Bunny wanted them back.

coloring eggs at Angie's

Boston wasn't too into coloring eggs this year but he really loved eating the sand out of Angie's sand pile. yum-yum. All in all it was a fun, messy day. Thanks Ang for volunteering your house for the mess headquarters and thanks for the sand.

Abby and I went with my sister Angie and her little girl Kylee
to the Disney on Ice show on Saturday. The girls had such a great
time and loved going out in their favorite princess dresses.
Abby even let me curl her hair and then she decided
she wanted some make-up and nail polish to go with it.
She loved everything about this outing. She even leaned
over and told me she wasn't scared when the
fire-breathing dragon came out! What a grown-up (and brave)
little girl she is getting to be.

Abby and her cousin Kylee at Grandma's
house after the big event. We had to stop in
so the little princesses could say "HI" to
grandma and grandpa. Plus I think the kids
all know that grandma's is always a good place
to get a little treat.

Gray girls are way out-numbered!

So the new news... we are having another boy! I was so sure this was going to be my last pregnancy until we found out it was for sure a boy. All the sudden I was really sad that Abby wasn't going to have a sister. So I'm not saying that that there won't be a number 5 anymore. Anyways, I was measuring big so my OB had me get an ultrasound to find out if the due date (Aug. 3) was right. The Ultrasound tech and Doctor both said everything looked good and the baby was measuring right on. So we left thinking everything was fine. The next day my OB office called and said I have a very low lying placenta (placenta previa) and that I have to be on pelvic rest for a month or until they can see it's getting better. From everything I've read and what the Doc told me, in most cases the placenta moves up on it's own as the baby gets bigger. So I'm hoping that's the case with me. Otherwise I guess I'll just look forward to the mini tummy tuck that comes with a C-section delivery (which I could really use). My clothes are already not fitting (which is not supposed to happen for at least another month)! So I've either got to get out of the house and get some new clothes or break out the box of maternity clothes. Anyone want to go shopping?
