easter sunday
We spent Easter Day at the Hull's with Travis' family. Malana was so excited for the Easter Bunny to come and fill up her basket!
Grandma and Grandpa Hull, had an Easter Egg Hunt for the grandkids and Malana got ten dollars! She thought that was great and was excited to go spend it.
The Hunters!
We also celebrated Travis' 31st Birthday! He requested pie instead of cake this year, so I made him a peach pie, a peach/ strawberry pie and a strawberry pie. I must say, I like making the fancy cakes but my pies taste a whole heck of a lot better!
And last but not least here is me beginning to feel like a bloated whale at 36 weeks! We are getting nervous and excited to meet her!

home again, a **shutter**, and Easter!
I know that picture-less updates are really boring so here are some pictures finally!
I didn't get too many pictures of my parents coming home there flight came in a half an hour early and half the clan wasn't there yet, my parents were exhausted and we were too busy giving hugs to pick up the camera! But welcome home mom and dad!
This is a picture of the bane of my existence:
Just looking at the picture makes me sick, no literally sick, I get so stressed about it I just tune it out. I keep hoping that I will go somewhere for a few days, and it will be magically and perfectly done, to my specifications and look beautiful. Yes, we started it over a year ago, and yes my cabinets have been open for the world to see since then, and yes, all of my kitchen stuff is currently either residing in boxes ( in the room that is supposed to be the baby's room) that I have to dig through to find anything or on the shelf (because I got tired of un-packing and then packing them again) and covered in construction dust! If it weren't for Travis dad, we wouldn't be as far as we are. Thank you Leonard!!!!!! We are at a stand still over the finish on the wood, seriously, I feel like throwing up just thinking about getting the project finished ***Shutter***... no really I feel physically ill...okay enough!
On a less stressful note here is a cute picture of Malana at an Easter party at my parents house:
Malana and her cousin Hannah, (I think the setting on my camera got messed up, they all turned out blurry)
Easter at the Nields! Fun egg hunts, cute games, bag and egg decorating, bantering and all out fun... ahhhh home! I really missed you and your parties mom and dad!

a pictureless update!
Wow I have been a really bad blogger! I can't believe that I am 34 weeks! Time has flown by. Travis has needed the laptop for work which equals no blogging for me :( Alot has happened since I last posted, and I am on my parents computer so I don't have any pictures, so you are just going to have to deal with commentary.
Here are our updates:
Abby:
I am feeling pretty good, other than getting in and out of chairs my back has gotten a lot better.
The baby moves ALL of the time, much more than Malana did and I love it.
I have been having the nesting instinct like crazy! Which is good, but I also get frustrated that I can't do everything I want to do by myself and that I have to wait on Travis to move things etc...
I am getting nervous to have another baby around. Not the labor part, but starting over, almost five years is a big gap and I have become accustomed to Malana being able to pretty much entertain herself, so having a baby stuck to my hip 24 hours a day, is going to come as a big shocker. Not to mention diapers, and night time feedings, lets just say I am freaking out a little bit.
I have been down to visit my parents a TON since they have been home, and I think that we are almost to the point of wearing out our welcome, so maybe we will back off a little ;)
Travis:
Travis has been a working fool, he FINALLY got some counseling clients, which is a very good thing (it means more money, that always puts a smile on your face especially when you have a new baby coming and you have no idea how you are going to pay for it.) BUT he has also kept 35 hours of PSR work. so he is essentially working about 50 hours , but really it is more like 60 after his paper work and trainings, but he gets paid for about 50. Needless to say, we don't see much of him. He works hard and I am so proud that he is my hubby.
He is getting excited for summer and his garden. As well as his clients being out of school so that he can have daytime hours again, instead of working until 9 or 10 and on Saturdays.
He loves to play a card game called Dominion anytime we are around enough people to play
He is getting excited for the baby to come now that he can feel her moving, he choose her name and he isn't budging anything else I suggest he shoots down. Who knew he would care so much, I think that it is cute that he cares, so I guess the name stays!
He turns 31 in a week!
Malana:
She is loving preschool, and knows most of her letters by sight and some of her numbers. she can tell you almost all of the shapes, and loves to color and play with the other kids
She is still obsessed with pet shops and it is the only toy she has that she actually sits down and plays with.
We have all had our fill of Tangled, and she has now determined that the babies name should be Rapunzel
She is getting ready for her dance recital, she loves to dance, although I got to watch her practice yesterday and she seemed far more interested in making faces at the girl next to her than doing the dance, (Sorry, Dayna) she really does love dancing, she is just also extra social.
