Blue and Pink Eggs

Happy Easter, everyone!

The Easter Bunny brought Toby and I an Easter basket, like usual… but this year, he also brought Thumper a basket!! It was filled with blue and pink chocolate eggs!!! Of course, Thumper can’t eat the candy yet, so mommy and daddy are eating it for him/her.

I got home from work yesterday and Toby said “It’s a boy!” Apparently, he took a handful of eggs… some blue and some pink… and then ate them without looking. His thought was if the last egg he ate was blue, it would be a boy… and if the last egg was pink, it would be a girl. A few eggs in, he looked and saw he had 2 blue eggs and 7 pink eggs… not very good odds for the man that wants a boy! He ate a few more eggs… now he had just 1 blue egg and 5 pink eggs. He continued to eat the eggs, only to find the last egg was pink. Poor guy. He got up to get a glass of milk… and returned to the couch to find a single blue egg sitting where he had been… now he’s convinced we’re having a boy!!! A very cute story… especially if it does turn out to be a boy!!!

I went for my check up today, and all is well. Baby is still turned downwards, waiting patiently for the big day! The heartbeat is still great… ranging from 140s to 160s. My blood pressure is still wonderful… and I only gained ½ pound in the last two weeks… for a total of about 25 pounds. Thankfully it’s all in the bump… just looks like I’m smuggling a soccer ball!

On Saturday, the family came over for an Easter cook-out! Toby grilled his famous burgers and the wonderful LG Meat Company’s mushroom/swiss brats! Yummmmmm! I sat in the same place all day and am now sporting a partial tan… only on the right side of my face!!! It looked really nice on Sunday when it was red. I was tempted to wear makeup… just to even out my complexion!

Mom took some great pictures of me out on the back deck on Saturday morning… with my posh camera, of course. I’ll post my favorite in the next couple days… I’ve been too lazy to put them on the computer.

I haven’t been sleeping really well the past few days, thanks to a very active baby… and a snoring husband! Therefore I’m exhausted during the day. Even though my job isn’t physcially demanding, all I want to do when I get home is lay down and nap!

Other than that, nothing to complain about! Still loving every second of this experience! I’m super excited to meet Thumper, but I know I’ll miss the feeling of having him/her inside of me… it’s a very humbling experience!

This Saturday will be 34 weeks… I know I’ve said it before… but it’s crazy how time flies!!!
