This and That

Not much has really been happening but here is a short update for the grandparents!

I was finally going to let my kids color Easter eggs this year - I had told them we had Star Wars and Princess die, stickers and the rest of the kits and they were excited! Saturday morning at 2 am Miles came down holding his stomach - David gave him some medicine and sent him back to bed. I was a little concerned so I went and told him if it hurt again to come and get me. About 45 minutes later he showed up again - when asked what his pain was between a 1 and 10 he said 9. I do not like having to go to the ER (just ask David how long I made him wait when he had Kidney Stones and I still didn't want him to go!) but I also have learned better safe than sorry. So - David loaded Miles up at 3 am and off to the ER they went. Seven hours later and the most expensive suppository we will ever buy - they came home! Needless to say we were all tired - we got a couple hours sleep and then had a ballgame. After the ball game we decided to go to the cemetary - we went to the store and the kids helped me pick out flowers, a balloon and a stuffed rabbit to put at Zachary's grave. All the kids fell asleep in the car on the way home - Needless to say we never got those eggs decorated - maybe we'll die Memorial Day eggs or something! We aren't big into the "Easter Bunny" but the kids all got a little candy and a small toy.

David started his new job and really likes it - it should be good experience and should include some free golf so you can't beat that!

Miles had his first grade program and did very well - he really isn't into singing so I was impressed that he sang all the songs.

Jackson and Miles are both playing ball. They are doing well - Jackson is playing up a league and is holding his own. Miles is beginning to hit better. David has taken them twice to a private lesson with Coach Sam - he used to play professionally. They really enjoy going and have learned a ton.

I have finally started feeling a little better. I still puke in the morning and most nights but from about 11 to 8 I feel pretty good. My last appointment was Tuesday - it was my first without having a sonogram. When the DR walked in she said I looked nervous. Honestly - everytime I go to the DR - I go expecting the worse. There really is no excitment just nerves. She looked nervous when she went to look for the heartbeat. Luckily she found it in just a couple of minutes. We find out for sure on the 12th of May if it is boy or girl. The sono tech at 12 weeks thought it looked like a girl but said it was pretty early - so we will see!
